Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00120 | $0.01639 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00060 | $0.00820 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00024 | $0.00328 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00164 |
Grade A, and why
create-secret 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 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.
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.
This is a copy
100% identical to create-secret — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

secret |
List existing secrets |
harness_get |
secret |
Get secret metadata (not the value) |
harness_create |
secret |
Create a new secret |
harness_update |
secret |
Update secret metadata or value |

Secret Types
SecretText
Stores text-based secrets: passwords, API tokens, connection strings.
secret:
identifier: my_api_key
name: My API Key
description: API key for external service
type: SecretText
spec:
secretManagerIdentifier: harnessSecretManager
valueType: Inline
value: <secret_value>
For other secret types (SecretFile, SSHKey with KeyReference/KeyPath/Password, WinRmCredentials with NTLM/Kerberos) and secret manager configuration, consult references/secret-types.md.
Secret Scopes
| Scope | Visibility | MCP Parameters |
|---|---|---|
| Project | Only within the project | org_id + project_id |
| Organization | All projects in the org | org_id only |
| Account | All orgs and projects | Neither org_id nor project_id |
Instructions
Step 1: Determine Requirements
- Secret type: SecretText, SecretFile, SSHKey, or WinRmCredentials
- Secret manager: Harness built-in or external
- Scope: project, org, or account
- Tags and description for organization
Step 2: Check for Existing Secrets
harness_list(
resource_type="secret",
org_id="<org>",
project_id="<project>",
search_term="<keyword>"
)
Step 3: Create the Secret
harness_create(
resource_type="secret",
org_id="<org>",
project_id="<project>",
body={
"secret": {
"identifier": "my_api_key",
"name": "My API Key",
"type": "SecretText",
"spec": {
"secret_manager_identifier": "harnessSecretManager",
"value_type": "Inline",
"value": "<value>"
}
}
}
)
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
- 8d ago First seen · 242 lines · 120 tokens per session scan A 7a76737c97d9
create-secret is a skill published in the GitHub repository harness/harness-ai (19 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 120 tokens to every session and 1,639 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to create-secret, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
