Use whenever a task needs an API key, token, password, database URL, certificate, or any other credential. That includes configuring an MCP server, calling an authenticated API with curl, running gh/aws/openai, running psql or docker compose against a real service, filling in a .env, or when the user pastes a secret into chat or asks where to keep one. Consult it even when the user never says "secret" or "tsm". macOS with the tsm vault installed.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Using credentials from the tsm vault `tsm` is a Touch ID-gated secrets vault on this Mac. The user installed this plugin so you pull credentials from it instead of asking for them. `tsm list`, `tsm get`, and `tsm status` are allowlisted for you. `tsm run` is not, because it runs whatever command follows `--`, so the user approves each one; every other subcommand (`add`, `edit`, `remove`, `reset`, `init`, `config set`) changes the vault and is the user's to run. The first vault access in a session blocks on a system Touch ID dialog until the user responds. Do not kill or retry it. The dialog shows the command that receives the secret, so keep that command short and readable: the user approves what the dialog shows. ## Workflow …

How to install
mdr add tashian/tsm/credential-usage@sha256:8089ab84b01a78acThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.ddfa227, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
