Architecture overview
Rust gateway
The gateway (apps/proxy) is a fast HTTP gateway built in Rust that intercepts outbound requests and injects credentials. Agents authenticate with access tokens via Proxy-Authorization headers.
How it works:
- Your agent makes a normal HTTP request (e.g.,
GET https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/events) - The request goes through the gateway instead of directly to the internet
- The gateway matches the target host and path against stored secrets, decrypts the matching credentials, and injects the appropriate auth headers (Bearer token, API key, etc.)
- The request is forwarded to the service with credentials attached
- The response passes back through to your agent unchanged
- Runs on port 10255
- Agents authenticate with access tokens (each agent gets its own scoped token)
- Host and path pattern matching routes secrets to the right API endpoints
- MITM interception for HTTPS traffic
- Built in Rust for low-latency proxying
Secret store
The secret store uses AES-256-GCM encryption at rest. Secrets are decrypted only at request time, matched by host and path patterns, and injected by the gateway as headers. Credentials are never stored in plain text. The encryption key is auto-generated on first run or can be set via theSECRET_ENCRYPTION_KEY environment variable.
Web dashboard
The dashboard (apps/web) runs on port 10254 and is where you manage everything:
- Create agents with scoped access tokens
- Add, rotate, and revoke secrets for any service
- Configure host and path patterns for credential matching
- See which agent accessed which service and when (audit logs)
Auth modes
OneCLI supports two authentication modes:| Mode | When to use | Configuration |
|---|---|---|
| Single-user (default) | Local development, personal use | No config needed |
| Google OAuth | Teams, shared instances | Set NEXTAUTH_SECRET, GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID, GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET |
