apivault

apivault is a cursor rule for coding agents from TLB-STATION/apivault-mcp. It costs 0 tokens per session (213 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for using ApiVault, a service that stores API keys and other access credentials. The rules cover finding existing keys, choosing an environment, and limiting exposure of secret values.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when listing, retrieving, adding, changing, or deleting ApiVault keys for development, staging, or production.
Why use it?
It reduces duplicate keys, unnecessary access to raw secrets, and accidental disclosure in chat or project files.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

apivault scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

ApiVault MCP Agent Guidelines

When using ApiVault MCP tools (list_keys, get_key, reveal_key, add_key, update_key, delete_key):

  1. Discovery First: Use list_keys to check existing services and environments before adding duplicate keys or requesting raw values.
  2. Minimal Disclosure: Only call reveal_key when raw secret values are strictly necessary for local process execution or debugging.
  3. No Secrets in Chat: Never echo, paste, or print unmasked API secrets in chat messages, markdown files, or commit logs.
  4. Environment Awareness: Pass the target environment (Production, Staging, Development) when listing or creating keys.
  5. Custom Vault Key: If reveal_key returns VAULT_KEY_REQUIRED, prompt the user for their custom vault key and supply it in vault_key.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
