Description

I think it would be really useful to have a Get Secret keyword. Best practice for AWS hosted services is to store credentials in the Secrets Manager, which makes it imperative to be able to test the credentials and also to use said credentials to then test functionality that requires authentication.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing AWS service keyword entry points and how this Python library exposes boto3-backed operations to Robot Framework. Inspect the Secrets Manager API and define the expected inputs and returned secret value for a Get Secret keyword; done means credentials can be retrieved for authentication-focused tests.
