Supported Operations

Workflow

Phase 1: Context Assessment

Step 1: Understand the Request

Determine what the user needs:

1. Identify the secret type:

   • Specific item (name or ID known)
   • Specific field from an item
   • List of items (browsing/searching)
   • Document content
   • One-time password
   • Secret reference (op:// URI)

2. Identify scope:

   • Specific vault or search all vaults
   • Any filtering criteria (tags, categories)

3. Clarify if needed:

   • If item name is ambiguous, ask for vault or use item ID
   • If multiple fields could match, ask which specific field

Phase 2: Secret Retrieval

Step 2: Execute the Appropriate Command

Based on the context assessment, execute the appropriate op command.

See op CLI Read Command Reference for complete command syntax.

Get Complete Item:

op item get "<item-name>" --format json

Get Specific Field:

op item get "<item-name>" --fields "<field-name>" --format json

List Items:

op item list [--vault "<vault>"] [--categories <category>] --format json

Get Document:

op document get "<document-name>"

Get OTP:

op item get "<item-name>" --otp

Read Secret Reference:

op read "op://<vault>/<item>/<field>"

Step 3: Parse and Present Results

1. Parse JSON output (when using --format json)
2. Extract relevant information based on user's request
3. Present clearly:
   • For single values: provide the value directly
   • For items: summarize fields, highlight requested data
   • For lists: present in table format with key metadata

See Output Schemas Reference for JSON structure details.
