OSL Specification v1.0.0

OSL v1.0.0 is the first stable release of the Open Secrets Language Abstraction API. It establishes a provider-agnostic contract for heterogeneous secret management.

Core Principles

  • Small Required Core: A minimal set of mandatory operations for secret lifecycle.
  • Capability Discovery: Mandatory `get-capabilities` endpoint to avoid client guesswork.
  • Optional Modules: Capability-gated support for versioning, leases, rotation, and sync.

API Model

The API uses kebab-case endpoints and snake_case JSON fields. All requests must include a Bearer token for authentication.

[PLACEHOLDER: This article would contain the full technical mapping of OSL v1.0.0 endpoints and data models as defined in RFC-007.]
