What it does

API Settings is an agent skill from nodetool-ai/nodetool. Call nodetool.settings or nodetool.secrets from a code action: read or change a NodeTool setting, find out which credentials are configured, ask the user to enter a missing API key, or read a secret in a script. Load before the first call into these namespaces.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Media & Creative. The repository describes itself as: Agent-first Creative Workspace. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Media & Creative work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/api-settings”

Requirements

  • A credential in STRIPE_API_KEY

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Call secrets() to see what is missing, and use the name the service is
  2. Call requestSecret(key, {reason, help_url}). Write reason for the user,
  3. Continue when the answer says it was saved.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f99c652. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • STRIPE_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

API Settings loads about 663 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 352 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~663

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

nodetool.settings and nodetool.secrets

nodetool.settings is the configuration of this install. nodetool.secrets reads credentials inside a run. A secret value never passes through the agent: the user types it in a dialog.

nodetool.settings

CallDoesAnswers
list({group})Lists every setting, or one group ("Folders", for example), with its description, allowed values and current value. Secrets are not in this list.{settings, groups}
get(key)Reads one setting, from the user's saved settings and then the environment. Refuses a secret.The setting with its value and source (user, env or unset)
set(key, value)Changes one setting for this user. Only a declared setting can be set, and a setting with allowed values takes only those. value is a string.—
secrets()Lists the known credentials and whether each one is configured.Names and a configured flag. Never values.
requestSecret(key, {reason, help_url})Opens a dialog in the user's client where they type the value.Only whether they saved one

key is the environment-variable name: "AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL_MINUTES", "STRIPE_API_KEY".

Asking for a credential
  1. Call secrets() to see what is missing, and use the name the service is registered under.
  2. Call requestSecret(key, {reason, help_url}). Write reason for the user, in one sentence. help_url is where they get the key.
  3. Continue when the answer says it was saved.

A run with no interactive client refuses the request. Then tell the user which credential is missing and where to add it (Settings > Secrets). Do not ask again in a loop, and never ask the user to paste a key into the chat.

nodetool.secrets

For code that needs a credential value, such as a Code node or a script:

CallDoes
get(name)The value. It throws and names the secret when it is not set.
tryGet(name)The value, or undefined for a credential that is optional
list()The names this node declared in its secret scope, or null when it declared none

A read works only for a name inside the secret scope of the run. A chat action has no secret store, so nodetool.secrets.get throws there. Use the tools that hold the credential on the host instead of reading it.
