Use when a trading process should fetch exchange API keys or database credentials from HashiCorp Vault at runtime rather than a .env file; AppRole login, KV v2 reads, explicit token TTL handling and a bounded local cache.
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
## When to Use
Invoke this skill when a trading process needs **live exchange or database credentials at
runtime** and you want them to come from Vault rather than a `.env` file, a config blob,
or the process image. `VaultSecretsManager` covers the client half of the AppRole
workflow:
1. **Login** — `POST auth/approle/login` with a RoleID and SecretID, recording the
returned `lease_duration`, `renewable`, and `accessor`.
2. **Read** — `GET {mount}/data/{path}` (KV v2), returning a `SecretBundle` that carries
the values plus `metadata.version` so a caller can see when a secret was rotated.
3. **Hold** — a TTL-bounded cache so the process does not read Vault on every order, and
an explicit token lifetime so the token is renewed (or the process re-authenticates)
*before* a read fails.
The design assumption throughout is a **long-lived process**: a bot that boots once and
runs for days. That is precisely the case where a naive client breaks — its token silently
passes max TTL, or its unbounded cache keeps feeding a credential the security team
revoked hours ago.
## When NOT to Use
- **You need Vault configured, not read.** Policies, AppRole provisioning, SecretID

How to install
mdr add himanshuj16/algo-trading-skills/centralized-secrets-management-vault-integration@sha256:39127383a4c4a06eThe line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, 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.
