    {
      "key": "api_key",
      "label": "API Key",
      "type": "password",
      "placeholder": "sk-...",

    }
  ]
}

Before: https://api.example.com?key=${api_key}
After:  https://api.example.com?key=sk-your-actual-key

​
Configuration Substitution

Templates use ${config_key} placeholders that are replaced during installation:

​
In URLs

{
  "httpUrl": "https://api.weatherapi.com/v1/current.json?key=${weather_api_key}&q=${city}"
}

​
In Headers

{
  "httpHeaders": {
    "Authorization": "Bearer ${api_token}",
    "X-Api-Key": "${secondary_key}"
  }
}

​
In Mock Responses

{
  "mockResponse": "Welcome to ${company_name}! How can I help?"
}

​
Managing Installed Tools

After installation, tools appear in your agent’s Tools list:
  • Edit — Modify configuration or behavior
  • Enable/Disable — Toggle without deleting
  • Delete — Remove from agent
Installed tools reference the original template via templateId, allowing you to see template updates.

Best Practices

​

  • Protect API keys — Use password-type config fields
  • Review permissions — Understand what access tools need
  • Rotate keys — Update API keys periodically

​
Testing

  • Test before deploying — Use the chat playground
  • Check error handling — Try edge cases
  • Monitor usage — Watch for API quota issues

​
Maintenance

  • Check for updates — Templates may be improved
  • Review periodically — Remove unused tools
  • Keep configs current — Update expired keys
