# Secrets

> Account vault for API keys and tokens.

**Secrets** in the sidebar is the account vault. Open it to add a name and value. Reference a secret as `{{secret:Name}}` in a tool URL or body.

<h2 id="add">
  Add and store
</h2>

**Add secret**: name is the reference key in Workflows. Allowed characters: letters, numbers, underscore, and hyphen.

**Save secret**. The value is never shown after save.

**Saved secrets** lists names. **Delete secret** stops resolving that name in Workflows until you add it again.

<h2 id="bind">
  Bind on an Instance
</h2>

The vault is not enough by itself. Bind the Secret on the Instance that needs it: [AI](/instance/ai#api-key), [Connections](/instance/connections), or [Settings](/instance/settings).

You can type a value for that Instance only, or choose a saved secret from this vault.

The Agent never receives the secret value in the prompt. See [Secrets](/concepts/secrets).
