Add Keys to Keyvault

Adding keys to the Keyvault ensures sensitive values (API keys, credentials, tokens) are securely stored, cryptographically protected, and retrievable only by authorized services.

Steps to add a key​

  1. Navigate to Keyvault

    • From the header, click Keys.
    • In the left-hand sidebar, click Key vault to open the Keyvault panel.

  2. Click Add Keys

    • Press the Create Keys button.
    • A modal will open where you can enter the key details.

  3. Fill in details

    • Key name → An identifier for your secret (e.g., tavily_api_key).
    • Key Value → The actual secret value (e.g., your tavily API key string).
    • Description (optional) → Add context so you remember what this key is for (e.g., "This is my Tavily API key for authentication").

  4. Save

    • Click Save to securely add the key to Keyvault.
    • The secret will now be stored cryptographically.

Important notes​

  • Visibility: The value is visible only once, at the time of creation. After saving, even the creator cannot view it again.
  • Revocation: Keys remain stored until explicitly revoked by you.
  • Usage: Saved keys can be referenced and accessed securely by authorized services in the platform.
  • Description best practice: Keep descriptions concise but clear to avoid confusion when managing multiple secrets.

Example​

Suppose you want to add a tavily API key:

  • Key name: tavily_api_key
  • Value: tvly-3efa3d**...
  • Description: tavily API key for my production app

Once saved, this key will be securely stored in Keyvault and retrievable by authorized components — but the plaintext value will not be visible again.

Security tip​

Always ensure you paste values directly into the modal from a secure source. Avoid storing them temporarily in text files or sending them over insecure channels.
