Environment variables

  • SNIPEIT_API_BASE required Snipe-IT API base URL including /api/v1, for example https://snipe-it.example.com/api/v1. Use https.
  • SNIPEIT_API_TOKEN required secret Snipe-IT Personal API Token (JWT), from Snipe-IT > User > Manage API Keys. It acts with the rights of its user.
  • SNIPEIT_CONFIRM_WRITES Write guard, on by default: write tools return a preview until called again with confirm: "YES". Only false, 0, no or off disable it.
  • SNIPEIT_TIMEOUT_MS Timeout in ms per HTTP attempt, including the body read (positive integer).
  • SNIPEIT_LOG_LEVEL Log level on stderr: debug, info, warn or error.
  • SNIPEIT_MAX_RESULT_BYTES Cap for one tool result in bytes (serialized JSON), minimum 65536. Larger results come back shortened with truncated: true.
  • SNIPEIT_CALL_DEADLINE_MS Overall deadline for one tool call in ms, across retries and all: true pagination. 0 means none.
  • SNIPEIT_REDACT_PII true masks personal data (email, username, names of people, phone, address, employee number) in tool results.
  • SNIPEIT_READ_ONLY true refuses every write at runtime; all tools stay registered and reads work.
  • SNIPEIT_REQUIRE_PREVIEW true (with the write guard on): confirm: "YES" executes only after a preview of the same request.
