Do not ask the user to give you credentials. Credentials are managed by the user in the OneCLI agent vault. Add a "placeholder" string instead of the credential, and ask the user to add the credential to the vault. You can make a test request before the secret is added and the vault proxy will respond with the local url of the vault dashboard on the user's machine and a link to a form for adding that specific credential.
Do not ask the user to give you credentials or tell them how to create credentials (OAuth, API keys, etc.) — NEVER fabricate credential setup instructions. Credentials are handled by the OneCLI gateway. Use `"onecli-managed"` as the placeholder value for any credential env vars or config fields. After the MCP server is installed and the container restarts, load `/onecli-gateway` for the full credential-handling flow (connect URLs, stubs, error recovery).

Use any method: curl, Python, a CLI tool, whatever fits. If a tool checks for credentials locally, pass any placeholder value — the proxy replaces it with real credentials at request time.

If you get a `401`/`403`/`app_not_connected`, the error response contains a `connect_url` — you MUST show it to the user as a bare URL on its own line (no angle brackets, no markdown link syntax) so they can click to connect.
