vault-api

vault-api is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Aidas-dev/k8s-agent-skills. It costs 43 tokens per session (2,032 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference for HashiCorp Vault's REST API, the web interface programs use to manage and query Vault. It covers health, initialization, unsealing, authentication, secrets, policies, and tokens.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check a Vault cluster, initialize or unseal it, log in with Kubernetes, read or write KV secrets, and manage policies or tokens with tools such as curl.
Why use it?
It removes the need to guess endpoint paths, methods, authentication headers, or health-status meanings when operating Vault through HTTP.

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

vault-api scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

Vault API

Overview

Vault exposes a RESTful JSON API on port 8200. All requests include X-Vault-Token header for authenticated endpoints. Unauthenticated endpoints (health, init) need no token.

Base URL: http://vault.vault:8200 (in-cluster) or https://vault.example.com (external via Gateway).

API Endpoints

System

Method Endpoint Description Auth
GET /v1/sys/health Cluster health (see status codes below) No
GET /v1/sys/seal-status Seal status No
PUT /v1/sys/init Initialize cluster No
PUT /v1/sys/unseal Unseal (submit key share) No
GET /v1/sys/leader Current leader info No

Health status codes:

Code Meaning
200 Active, unsealed
429 Standby, unsealed
472 Disaster Recovery secondary (enterprise)
473 Performance standby (enterprise)
501 Not initialized
503 Sealed

Auth (Kubernetes)

Method Endpoint Description
POST /v1/auth/kubernetes/login Login with service account JWT
# Login with K8s SA token
SA_JWT=$(kubectl create token my-sa -n my-ns)
curl -s http://vault.vault:8200/v1/auth/kubernetes/login \
  -d "{\"role\":\"my-role\",\"jwt\":\"$SA_JWT\"}"
# Returns: {"auth":{"client_token":"hvs...","policies":["my-policy"]}}

KV Secrets (v2)

Method Endpoint Description
GET /v1/{mount}/data/{path} Read secret
PUT /v1/{mount}/data/{path} Create/update secret
DELETE /v1/{mount}/data/{path} Delete latest version
GET /v1/{mount}/metadata/{path} Read metadata (versions, timestamps)
POST /v1/{mount}/delete/{path} Delete all versions
POST /v1/{mount}/undelete/{path} Undelete
# Write a secret
curl -s http://vault.vault:8200/v1/secret/data/myapp \
  -H "X-Vault-Token: $VAULT_TOKEN" \
  -d '{"data":{"password":"s3cret!"}}'

# Read a secret
curl -s http://vault.vault:8200/v1/secret/data/myapp \
  -H "X-Vault-Token: $VAULT_TOKEN"
# Returns: {"data":{"data":{"password":"s3cret!"},"metadata":{...}}}

# List secrets at a path
curl -s http://vault.vault:8200/v1/secret/metadata/myapp \
  -H "X-Vault-Token: $VAULT_TOKEN" \
  | jq '.data.keys'

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.
