name: litellm-api-keys
|
|
description: >
|
|
Manages LiteLLM API keys for agent identity. Creates named keys so each agent
|
|
is identifiable in LiteLLM logs/spend tracking. Keys are permanent (no expiry)
|
|
and use the agent's bare name as alias (e.g., "tanko", not "tanko-jul2026").
|
|
Ensures agents never use the master key directly. Rotation is event-driven,
|
|
not calendar-driven — rotate only on compromise, personnel change, or
|
|
periodic security hygiene (quarterly/annually).

## Parameters
|
|

|
|
- action: "create" | "rotate" | "verify" | "list" — What to do (default: "create")
|
|
- litellm_host: string — LiteLLM admin endpoint (default: "192.168.68.116:4000")
|
|
- master_key: string — LiteLLM master key (default from environment)
|
|
- agent_host: string — Agent's IP for SSH (default: resolved from infra)
|
|
- agent_user: string — SSH user (default: "jerome")
|
|
|
|
## Returns
|
|
|
|
- action: string — What was done
|
|
- key_alias: string — The LiteLLM key alias created/rotated
|
|
- key_prefix: string — First 10 chars of the new key (for identification)
|
|
- previous_key_alias: string | null — Previous key alias if rotating
|
|
- litellm_response: object — Raw response from LiteLLM /key/generate
|
|
- agent_config_updated: boolean — Whether /etc/environment was updated
|
|
- verification: { status: string, detail: string } — Final health check
|
|
|
|
## Execution
|
|
|
|
1. **Authenticate** — Verify master_key works against LiteLLM /key/list
|
|
2. **Check existing keys** — List all keys, find any with agent_name alias
|
|
3. **If action == "list"**: Return all keys with their aliases and spend
|
|
4. **If action == "create"**:
|
|
- Generate new key with key_alias: "{agent_name}" (e.g., "tanko" — bare name, no date)
|
|
- Set metadata: { "agent": "{agent_name}", "purpose": "agent-inference" }
|
|
- Duration is null (permanent) — inherited from litellm default_key_generate_params
|
|
- Set models: ["syslog-auto", "qwen3.6-35B-A3B", "qwen3.6-27B-code", "gemma-4-12b"]
|
|
- Return the new key
|
|
5. **If action == "rotate"**:
|
|
- Generate new key with same alias (LiteLLM replaces the old key)
|
|
- SSH to agent_host, update /etc/environment LITELLM_API_KEY
|
|
- Restart agent gateway (hermes gateway restart for Hermes agents)
|
|
- Verify: curl test against /v1/models with new key
|
|
- Rotation policy: on-demand only (compromise, departure, quarterly hygiene)
|
|
6. **If action == "verify"**:
|
|
- SSH to agent, read /etc/environment
|
|
- Test the key against LiteLLM /v1/models
|
|
- Confirm key alias matches agent_name in LiteLLM key list
