What is ansible-secrets?

A pattern for retrieving Ansible secrets from Infisical, a service that stores passwords, tokens, and other sensitive values, with an environment-variable fallback.

It helps Ansible playbooks fetch values such as Proxmox passwords using reusable lookup tasks and Infisical authentication settings.

It keeps credentials out of playbooks and supports safer lookup and logging practices, including preventing sensitive task output from being printed.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00036	$0.02318
Opus 5.5	$0.00014	$0.00927
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00007	$0.00464
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00232

Security

Grade A, and why

ansible-secrets 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 2mo 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.

Reusable Task Pattern

The repository provides a reusable task for secret retrieval at ansible/tasks/infisical-secret-lookup.yml.

Basic Usage

- name: Retrieve Proxmox password
  ansible.builtin.include_tasks: tasks/infisical-secret-lookup.yml
  vars:
    secret_name: 'PROXMOX_PASSWORD'
    secret_var_name: 'proxmox_password'
    infisical_project_id: '7b832220-24c0-45bc-a5f1-ce9794a31259'
    infisical_env: 'prod'
    infisical_path: '/proxmox-cluster'

# Now use the secret
- name: Create Proxmox user
  community.proxmox.proxmox_user:
    api_password: "{{ proxmox_password }}"
    # ... other config ...
  no_log: true

With Fallback

- name: Retrieve database password
  ansible.builtin.include_tasks: tasks/infisical-secret-lookup.yml
  vars:
    secret_name: 'DB_PASSWORD'
    secret_var_name: 'db_password'
    fallback_env_var: 'DB_PASSWORD'  # Falls back to $DB_PASSWORD
    infisical_project_id: '7b832220-24c0-45bc-a5f1-ce9794a31259'
    infisical_env: 'prod'
    infisical_path: '/database'

Task Parameters

Variable	Required	Default	Description
`secret_name`	Yes	-	Name of secret in Infisical
`secret_var_name`	Yes	-	Variable name to store secret
`infisical_project_id`	No	(repo default)	Infisical project ID
`infisical_env`	No	`prod`	Environment (prod, dev, staging)
`infisical_path`	No	`/apollo-13/vault`	Path within project
`fallback_env_var`	No	-	Env var to use as fallback
`allow_empty`	No	`false`	Allow empty secret values

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.
