Core Functions

list_vault_items()

The main function for vault item listing. This function:

• Connects to your 1Password vault
• Lists all items with full details
• Retrieves passwords and credentials
• Syncs data for cross-device access
• Returns a comprehensive item list

Example:

from scripts.op_helper import list_vault_items

# List all vault items
items = list_vault_items()

# The function returns structured data like:
# {
#   "items": [
#     {"title": "AWS Console", "username": "..." },
#     {"title": "GitHub", "username": "..."}
#   ],
#   "synced": True
# }

get_credential(item_name, field)

Helper function for getting specific credentials:

from scripts.op_helper import get_credential

password = get_credential("my-service", field="password")

get_op_session()

Helper function for session management.

Session Management

The skill checks for existing sessions in these environment variables:

• OP_SESSION_my
• OP_SESSION_team
• OP_SESSION_family
• OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN

How It Works

1. Session Check: The skill verifies your 1Password session
2. Item Listing: Lists all items in your vault
3. Detail Retrieval: Gets full item details including passwords
4. Data Sync: Syncs data for cross-device access

You don't need to manually run op commands or parse output - list_vault_items() does all of this for you automatically.

Prerequisites

• 1Password CLI (op) installed
• Signed in to 1Password account
• Valid session token or service account

Full Example

# Import the main listing function
from scripts.op_helper import list_vault_items

# List all vault items - this single function does everything
items = list_vault_items()

# Check results
if items:
    print("✅ Vault items retrieved:")
    print(f"  - Total items: {len(items.get('items', []))}")
    print(f"  - Synced: {items.get('synced', False)}")
else:
    print("❌ Failed to retrieve vault items")

Secure credential management for your workflows - Just call list_vault_items() and you're done!
