What the dsh-vault DSH plugin can do

  • Stores login, SSH, API-key, secret, OAuth, custom, and TOTP credential records.
  • Encrypts vault entries at rest using Node.js crypto with scrypt-derived keys and AES-256-GCM, as described by the repository.
  • Provides vault_add, vault_get, vault_search, vault_update, vault_delete, vault_totp, and vault_generate_password tools.
  • Returns secret-free summaries from vault_search; full credential data is retrieved by explicit ID with vault_get.
  • Supports readonly, ask-before-write, and automatic read-write access modes.
  • Provides a Settings UI for configuration and access-mode selection.
  • Supports npm, GitHub, local-path, and tarball installation paths.

Where the dsh-vault DSH plugin fits

  • Keep SSH connection details available to DeepSeek Harness workflows.
  • Store API keys, OAuth tokens, and other developer credentials for explicit retrieval.
  • Generate TOTP codes from saved TOTP secrets.
  • Generate strong passwords and save account credentials locally.
  • Require approval for credential writes through the ask access mode.

Who the dsh-vault DSH plugin is for

  • DeepSeek Harness users managing personal credentials.
  • Developers who use SSH, API keys, OAuth tokens, or TOTP secrets.
  • Users who want model-accessible credential tools with configurable write access.

dsh-vault DSH plugin limitations

  • Vault security is bounded by the strength of the master password.
  • Forgetting the master password permanently prevents access to stored data, according to the README.
  • Secrets returned through vault_get enter the tool result and model context.
  • The project states it targets single-machine, personal deployments; team-shared vaults are out of scope.
  • GitHub-source installation may require allowing its prepare build script in pnpm.
  • The package requires Node.js 20 or later.
