Core Features & Use Cases

Credential Management: Safely store and retrieve secrets using TOML files.
Secure Access: Integrates with dlt-workspace-mcp for secure secret handling or falls back to CLI commands.
Use Case: When setting up a new data source that requires an API key, this skill guides you through storing the key securely in .dlt/secrets.toml and shows how to access it in your Python code without exposing the value.

Quick Start

Use the setup-secrets skill to configure credentials for the stripe API.

FAQPage Schema

How do I securely store API keys and passwords for dlt pipelines?▼

You can securely store API keys and passwords for dlt pipelines by configuring them in `.secrets.toml` files, which keeps sensitive credentials out of your source code and execution logs.

How do I read secrets in Python using dlt without exposing the actual values?▼

You can read secrets in Python using dlt by leveraging `dlt.secrets` for credential resolution, which retrieves the required values from your TOML configuration without exposing the actual values in the code.

What is the best way to configure credentials for a new dlt data source?▼

The best way to configure credentials for a new dlt data source is to define the API keys, database passwords, or tokens in a structured `.secrets.toml` file, which dlt then automatically reads and resolves.

Do I need to understand TOML structure to manage dlt credentials?▼

Yes, you need to understand TOML structure to manage dlt credentials, because this Skill requires correctly formatting the `.secrets.toml` files to ensure dlt can properly resolve and access your secrets.

Can I inspect or update existing dlt secrets without exposing them in the terminal?▼

Yes, you can inspect or update existing dlt secrets securely by requesting a configuration check for your credentials, which validates the setup in your `.secrets.toml` file without printing the sensitive values.
