description

Register agent identities and manage outbound authentication providers for AI agents. Covers CRUD for agent identities, storing API keys or secrets for external services (OpenAI, Google, Slack), OAuth2 providers, and delegated keys. When user mentions an external service name with API key or credentials, trigger this skill — not /agentbase-llm. DO NOT use for agent source code (use /agentbase-wizard), platform LLM API keys (use /agentbase-llm), agent memory (use /agentbase-memory), or runtime logs (use /agentbase-monitor).

AgentBase Identity & Outbound Auth Management

Manage agent identities and outbound authentication providers on the GreenNode AgentBase platform. Parse the user's arguments to determine the part (identity or auth), the operation, and optional name/ID.

Note: Outbound auth manages authentication for external services (API keys, OAuth2). For platform IAM credentials (client_id/client_secret for accessing GreenNode APIs), see /agentbase-wizard Step 1 or run bash .claude/skills/agentbase/scripts/check_credentials.sh iam.

Base URLs

• Identity & Auth: https://agentbase.api.vngcloud.vn/identity/api/v1
• Console (Identity): https://aiplatform.console.vngcloud.vn/access-control

Authentication & Endpoints

Read the shared auth setup reference at /agentbase skill's references/auth-setup.md for full IAM credential configuration. In brief: run bash .claude/skills/agentbase/scripts/check_credentials.sh iam to verify credentials are configured, then use TOKEN=$(bash .claude/skills/agentbase/scripts/get_token.sh) to obtain a token. NEVER read .greennode.json or .env directly — always use the helper scripts. On 401: re-run with --force. If check_credentials.sh iam returns MISSING, STOP — you MUST read the "If Credentials Are Not Found" section in /agentbase skill's references/auth-setup.md and follow it exactly. Do NOT skip this or provide your own credential setup instructions.

IMPORTANT: Before constructing any API URL, read /agentbase skill's references/endpoints.md for the domain validation whitelist. Only use domains listed there.

Interaction Guidelines

• Never assume API response structure — always inspect the actual response first before extracting or filtering data. Do not guess field names.
• Guide first, act only when asked — if the user asks "how to" register identities or manage credentials, respond with instructions and guidance only. Do NOT execute API calls or create resources unless they explicitly ask you to do it for them.
• Confirm before executing (HARD GATE) — before performing any action (create, update, delete, retrieve, generate, search), present a clear summary of what will be done (including all parameters and values) and ask the user to confirm. Do NOT auto-execute. Only proceed when the user responds with an explicit confirmation keyword: yes, confirm, ok, approve, proceed, go ahead, do it, ship it, lgtm, or equivalent affirmative. If the user responds with ANYTHING ELSE (parameter changes, questions, corrections, additional info, or ambiguous text), treat it as adjustment input — update the plan and re-present the full summary for confirmation again. NEVER interpret a non-confirmation response as approval. For destructive operations (delete identity, delete provider), additionally warn that the action is irreversible.
• Never auto-decide parameters — when an action requires parameters (e.g., identity name, provider name, apikey value, OAuth2 fields), always ask the user for each required value. You may recommend sensible defaults or examples, but never auto-select or impose values without the user's explicit agreement.
• Present options, let user choose — when there are multiple choices (e.g., provider type, operations), list the available options and let the user pick. Do not make the choice for them.
• For create/update operations involving secrets (apikey, clientSecret), NEVER ask the user to paste raw secrets into the chat — secrets typed in chat are loaded into the LLM context, which is a security risk. Instead, always guide the user to provide secrets via one of these safe methods (in order of preference):
  1. Environment variable: Ask the user to export MY_KEY=sk-... in their shell first, then use --apikey-env MY_KEY or --client-secret-env MY_SECRET_VAR
  2. File: Ask the user to save the secret to a file (e.g., .secrets/openai.key), then use --apikey-file .secrets/openai.key or --client-secret-file .secrets/oauth.key. Remind them to add the file/directory to .gitignore.
  • If the user insists on providing a raw secret directly, warn them that it will be visible in the conversation context, then use --apikey or --client-secret as a fallback.
  • Also remind the user not to commit secrets to source control.
• Dry-run support: When user requests --dry-run or preview, show the exact API request (method, URL, headers, payload) and explain the expected outcome WITHOUT executing. Let user review before proceeding.
• Always read full API response body — when calling platform APIs, capture and read the full JSON response (not just status codes). This avoids misidentifying field names or data structures, ensures correct field extraction, and enables better error handling and debugging.

Runtime Auto-Injection

When an agent is deployed on AgentBase Runtime, the IAM service account and Agent Identity are managed by the runtime system and automatically injected into the container as GREENNODE_CLIENT_ID, GREENNODE_CLIENT_SECRET, and GREENNODE_AGENT_IDENTITY. The SDK automatically uses these — no manual credential configuration needed in agent code. Auth decorators, credential retrieval, and integrations all work automatically.

The IAM credentials and identity/auth management described in this skill are for local development and platform management (creating/listing/updating resources from outside the runtime). See /agentbase-deploy runtime for details on runtime environment management.

Part 1: Identity Management

Manage agent identities on the GreenNode AgentBase Identity Service. An agent identity is a named registration that represents your agent on the platform and is a prerequisite for retrieving secrets from auth providers.

Identity Operations Summary

Operation	Method	Endpoint
Create	POST	/agent-identities
List	GET	/agent-identities?page=0&size=20
Get	GET	/agent-identities/{name}
Update	PUT	/agent-identities/{name}
Delete	DELETE	/agent-identities/{name}

Read references/identity-ops.md for full API details, SDK examples, curl commands, and the Identity Response Model.

Relationship between Identity and Auth

Agent identity is a required prerequisite for retrieving secrets from auth providers. All secret retrieval APIs require an agentIdentityName parameter:

• GET /outbound-auth/api-key-providers/{providerName}/agent-identities/{agentName}/api-key — retrieve stored API key
• POST /outbound-auth/delegated-api-key-providers/{providerName}/agent-identities/{agentName}/api-key — request delegated key
• POST /outbound-auth/oauth2-providers/{providerName}/agent-identities/{agentName}/tokens/m2m — get M2M token
• POST /outbound-auth/oauth2-providers/{providerName}/agent-identities/{agentName}/tokens/3lo — get 3LO token

Workflow: Create an agent identity first (identity operations), then create auth providers and retrieve secrets using that identity (auth operations).

Identity Instructions

1. Parse the user's argument to determine the operation (create, list, get, update, delete).
2. If credentials are not configured, present the user with the two options (Auto create / I already have) as described in the Authentication section above.
3. For create: a. Always list existing identities first — call GET /agent-identities?page=0&size=100 and show the user what already exists on the platform. b. If identities exist, ask the user: "You have these existing identities: [list]. Do you want to use one of these, or create a new one?" c. If the user wants to create a new one, ask for each parameter individually:
   • name (required) — suggest a sensible default if context is available, but always ask for confirmation
   • description (optional) — ask if they want to add one
   • allowedReturnUrls (optional) — ask if they want to configure callback URLs d. Show a confirmation summary with all parameters before executing the API call. Wait for explicit user approval. e. If the API returns 409 Conflict (name already exists), inform the user and ask whether to use the existing identity or choose a different name.
4. For other operations (list, get, update, delete): if a name is needed and not provided, ask for it.
5. Show the appropriate SDK or curl example based on the user's context.

Part 2: Outbound Authentication

Manage outbound authentication providers on the GreenNode AgentBase Identity Service. These providers allow agents to authenticate with external services (LLM APIs, SaaS tools, etc.).

Three provider types are available:

• apikey — Store a static API key (e.g., OpenAI key) that agents retrieve at runtime
• delegated — User-federation flow where end-users provide their own API keys
• oauth2 — Register external OAuth2 providers (e.g., Google, GitHub, Slack)

Auth Operations Summary

Static API Key (apikey)

Operation	Method	Endpoint
Create	POST	/outbound-auth/api-key-providers
List	GET	/outbound-auth/api-key-providers?page=0&size=20
Get	GET	/outbound-auth/api-key-providers/{name}
Update	PUT	/outbound-auth/api-key-providers/{name}
Delete	DELETE	/outbound-auth/api-key-providers/{name}
Retrieve Key	GET	/outbound-auth/api-key-providers/{providerName}/agent-identities/{agentName}/api-key

Delegated API Key (delegated)

Operation	Method	Endpoint
Create	POST	/outbound-auth/delegated-api-key-providers
List	GET	/outbound-auth/delegated-api-key-providers?page=0&size=20
Get	GET	/outbound-auth/delegated-api-key-providers/{name}
Delete	DELETE	/outbound-auth/delegated-api-key-providers/{name}
Request Key	POST	/outbound-auth/delegated-api-key-providers/{providerName}/agent-identities/{agentName}/api-key

OAuth2 (oauth2)

Operation	Method	Endpoint
Create	POST	/outbound-auth/oauth2-providers
List	GET	/outbound-auth/oauth2-providers?page=0&size=20
Get	GET	/outbound-auth/oauth2-providers/{name}
Update	PUT	/outbound-auth/oauth2-providers/{name}
Delete	DELETE	/outbound-auth/oauth2-providers/{name}
M2M Token	POST	/outbound-auth/oauth2-providers/{providerName}/agent-identities/{agentName}/tokens/m2m
3LO Token	POST	/outbound-auth/oauth2-providers/{providerName}/agent-identities/{agentName}/tokens/3lo

Read references/auth-ops.md for full API details, SDK examples, curl commands, and credential rotation guides.

Auth Prerequisites

Auth operations that retrieve keys or tokens (e.g., auth apikey retrieve-key, auth delegated request-key, auth oauth2 m2m-token, auth oauth2 3lo-token) require an agent identity name. On AgentBase Runtime, this is automatically managed and injected by the runtime system. For local development, if the user hasn't created one yet, help them create an agent identity inline (use bash .claude/skills/agentbase/scripts/identity.sh create --name <name>) before proceeding with the auth operation. Do NOT redirect to a separate skill invocation — handle identity creation within the current flow.

Auth Instructions

1. Parse the user's arguments to determine provider type (apikey, delegated, oauth2) and operation.
2. If the operation requires an agent identity name and the user hasn't provided one, ask for it — and if they don't have an agent identity yet, help them create one using the Identity operations above.
3. If the provider type is unclear, ask the user:
   • apikey: "I have a static API key (e.g., OpenAI key) to store"
   • delegated: "I want end-users to provide their own API keys"
   • oauth2: "I need OAuth2 integration with an external service"
4. Ask for required fields not provided in the arguments.
5. Show SDK examples by default. Show curl examples if user specifically asks or if working outside Python.
6. If credentials are not configured, present the user with the two options (Auto create / I already have) as described in the Authentication section above.

Troubleshooting

Error	Cause	Fix
401 Unauthorized	Expired or invalid IAM token	Re-obtain token with valid credentials. Ensure GREENNODE_CLIENT_ID and GREENNODE_CLIENT_SECRET are set correctly (on AgentBase Runtime, these are auto-injected)
403 Forbidden	Service account lacks permissions	Check IAM roles at https://iam.console.vngcloud.vn
404 Not Found	Resource (provider or identity) does not exist	Verify the name/ID with a list operation
409 Conflict	Name already exists (identity or provider)	Choose a different name or update the existing resource
Name validation error	Name doesn't match ^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$	Use only alphanumeric, underscore, and hyphen. 3-50 chars.
.greennode.json not found	Config file missing or wrong directory	Create .greennode.json with client_id, client_secret fields
Invalid apikey format	Key value rejected by validation	Check the key format matches the external service's requirements
Redirect URI mismatch (from OAuth2 provider)	Platform callback URL not whitelisted on external OAuth2 provider	Get callbackUrl from the provider API response (or callback_url in SDK) and add it as an authorized redirect URI in the external OAuth2 provider's settings (e.g., Google Cloud Console, GitHub OAuth App)
returnUrl rejected / not allowed	returnUrl not in agent identity's allowedReturnUrls	Update the agent identity to add the URL to allowedReturnUrls

Top-Level Instructions

1. Parse the user's arguments to determine the part (identity or auth) and the operation.
2. If the part is unclear, ask the user which area they need:
   • identity: "I want to register/manage my agent's identity on the platform"
   • auth: "I want to store API keys, configure OAuth2, or manage credentials for external services"
   • For memory operations, direct the user to /agentbase-memory.
3. If credentials are not configured, present the user with the two options (Auto create / I already have) as described in the Authentication section above.
4. Route to the appropriate part's instructions and operations.
5. Show SDK examples by default. Show curl examples if user specifically asks or if working outside Python.
