Create Secret Skill

Generate Harness Secret definitions and manage secrets via MCP v2 tools.

MCP v2 Tools Used

Tool	Resource Type	Purpose
`harness_list`	`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
`harness_delete`	`secret`	Delete a secret
`harness_describe`	`secret`	Discover secret resource schema

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>"
      }
    }
  }
)

Step 4: Verify Creation

harness_get(
  resource_type="secret",
  resource_id="my_api_key",
  org_id="<org>",
  project_id="<project>"
)

Referencing Secrets in Pipelines

# Project-level secret
<+secrets.getValue("my_api_key")>

# Org-level secret
<+secrets.getValue("org.my_api_key")>

# Account-level secret
<+secrets.getValue("account.my_api_key")>

In connector configuration:

connector:
  spec:
    authentication:
      spec:
        tokenRef: github_pat   # secret identifier

In service variables:

variables:
  - name: DB_PASSWORD
    type: Secret
    value: <+secrets.getValue("db_password")>

Naming Conventions

Secret Type	Pattern	Example
API Keys	`{service}_api_key`	`github_api_key`
Passwords	`{system}_password`	`prod_db_password`
Tokens	`{provider}_token`	`slack_token`
SSH Keys	`ssh_{purpose}`	`ssh_deploy_key`
Certificates	`{service}_cert`	`ssl_prod_cert`

Identifier must match: ^[a-zA-Z_][0-9a-zA-Z_]{0,127}$

Examples

Create a GitHub PAT secret

/create-secret
Create a SecretText for a GitHub personal access token at the project level
using the Harness built-in secret manager

Create SSH credentials

/create-secret
Create an SSH key secret for deploying to production servers as the "deploy" user

Create a Vault-referenced secret

/create-secret
Create a secret that references the database password stored in HashiCorp Vault
at secret/data/production/database#password

List secrets

/create-secret
Show me all secrets in the payments project

Create WinRM credentials

/create-secret
Create WinRM NTLM credentials for the Windows deployment servers

Error Handling

Error	Cause	Solution
Duplicate identifier	Secret with same ID exists	Use unique identifier or update existing
Secret manager not found	Invalid `secretManagerIdentifier`	Verify the secret manager connector exists
Encryption failed	Secret manager connectivity issue	Check delegate connectivity to secret manager
Invalid secret type	Unsupported type string	Use `SecretText`, `SecretFile`, `SSHKey`, or `WinRmCredentials`
Invalid valueType	Case mismatch	Use `Inline` or `Reference` (case-sensitive)

Performance Notes

Never include actual secret values in generated YAML. Use placeholder references only.
Verify the correct scope (account, org, project) before creating — secrets at the wrong scope will not be accessible.
Confirm the secret manager exists and is accessible before creating secrets.

Troubleshooting

Secret Not Accessible in Pipeline

Check scope -- project secrets need no prefix, org secrets need org. prefix, account secrets need account. prefix
Verify the pipeline's project has access to the secret's scope
Confirm the user/service account running the pipeline has core_secret_view permission

External Secret Manager Errors

Verify the secret manager connector is healthy (harness_get on the connector)
For Vault: check the path format includes #key suffix for specific keys
For AWS SM: ensure IAM permissions allow secretsmanager:GetSecretValue
Delegate must have network access to the external secret manager

SSH Key Connection Failures

Verify the private key is in PEM format
Check that the target server accepts key-based authentication
If using KeyPath, confirm the key file exists on the delegate host
Test with credentialType: Password first to isolate key-specific issues

Security Best Practices

Use external secret managers (Vault, AWS SM) for production secrets
Scope secrets as narrowly as possible -- prefer project over account
Never output secret values in pipeline logs
Rotate secrets regularly and update references
Audit secret access via the /audit-report skill

4. Delegate must have network access to the external secret manager

### SSH Key Connection Failures
