OneCLI

OneCLI

Open-source HTTPS proxy that swaps placeholder tokens for real API keys so CLI agents never hold raw credentials — praised and picked apart on HackerNews.

BUY IF

Placeholder tokens keep real creds out of agent context and trace logs

  • + Per-host credential scoping blocks exfiltration to malicious hosts
  • + Runs outside the agent sandbox as a TLS-terminating proxy container
  • + Field-tested by one user across Anthropic, GitHub, Gemini, AWS/R2 APIs

SKIP IF

Critics: reinvents Vault/SSO-proxy patterns without RBAC and least privilege

  • Prompt injection can still steal the honest agent's proxy auth token
  • Adds a black-box hop that holds all your real credentials
  • Node ignores HTTP_PROXY — needs iptables/sidecar MITM workarounds

Where the layers disagree

6 CONTRADICTIONS DETECTED

USER layer (HackerNews) discusses an agent-credential HTTPS proxy, while the VIDEO layer reviews an unrelated 'Quaked OneClick' Windows tweaker — a keyword collision across layers, not evidence about one product.

VIDEO VS USER

Within USER: praise for the placeholder-token design vs. critics saying it reinvents HashiCorp Vault / SSO proxies without RBAC or least-privilege maturity.

INTERNET VS USER

Within USER: one user reports extended issue-free use across Anthropic/GitHub/Gemini/AWS APIs, while security commenters demonstrate prompt injection can still steal the honest agent's proxy auth token.

USER VS BRAND

USER experts note the tool only stops credential leakage; authorized-but-harmful agent calls (cost, deletion) remain unprotected — a scope limit users should understand.

USER VS BRAND

VIDEO comments report broken Wi-Fi/audio drivers and lag from the OneClick tweaker, but this failure data cannot be attributed to OneCLI and is flagged rather than merged.

VIDEO VS USER

No INTERNET or BRAND layer data exists, so independent expert validation of OneCLI's security claims is unavailable.

The four realities of the OneCLI

Most review sites collapse everything into one number. We keep the layers separate so you can see where reality bends.

What actual buyers say

HackerNews discussion (top threads at +161/+146) treats OneCLI as an open-source credential gateway for LLM/CLI agents: it runs in a separate container as an HTTPS proxy, auto-configures agent containers with proxy env vars plus a local CA cert, terminates TLS on intercepted domains, swaps placeholder tokens for real credentials, and forwards upstream. One user reports running it against Anthropic, GitHub, Gemini, AWS and Cloudflare R2 APIs for a while with no issues, and added per-host credential scoping so replacement/resigning only happens on matching hosts — preventing leaks to malicious hosts. Reception is a mix of validation and pushback. Several commenters built near-identical systems: a Kubernetes sidecar with iptables MITM (specifically because Node ignores HTTP_PROXY), mitmproxy-based setups for opencode web, macaroon-based granular grants, and HashiCorp Vault scripts with time-scoped expiration. Critics argue the problem isn't agent-specific — fly.io's tokenizer and BuzzFeed's SSO proxy solved auth-proxying long ago — and that OneCLI reinvents Vault without RBAC, least privilege, or properly scoped NPE credentials, becoming a black box that holds all your real secrets. Security skeptics note a prompt-injected agent can still exfiltrate the honest agent's proxy authorization token (the gateway can't tell requests apart), that replicating AWS SigV4/SigV4A re-signing was painful, and that the tool only prevents credential leakage — an agent making authorized but harmful calls (spending money, deleting production) remains fully possible. A parallel comment cluster debates MCP-vs-CLI tool gateways (InfiniteMCP, mcpc, mcp-cli) and MCP schema quality (97% of 201 graded servers waste tokens), which reflects the surrounding ecosystem debate rather than direct OneCLI experience.

What reviewers showed on camera

The three YouTube results appear to concern a different product matched by keyword: 'Quaked OneClick' Windows tweaking scripts, not the agent-credential proxy discussed on HackerNews. SHYX_Tweaks (859 subs) posted two videos testing Quaked OneClick tweaks claiming an 'INSANE FPS BOOST' (9,864 and 292 views; no full transcripts). Comments are warning-heavy: 'quaked oneclick disables useless drivers like wifi drivers audio drivers and basically all the useful stuff u need its so bad please dont use and if u wanna try make a restore point'; 'my pc started lagging even on the desktop while having a high end pc... a lot of fps drops'; 'the wifi is broken like the airplane mode is on and grayed out which cant be toggled'; 'i tried it and i have nothing on the pc now can u help me please'. One commenter says they abandoned daily use after a critical video by another YouTuber (klitacs). A third video from a channel named 'One Click' (6,830 subs, 117 views, 'This is why I ride Natural') is unrelated. Treat this layer as zero-evidence for OneCLI itself.
