Retrieve Secret Metadata Without Fetching the Secret in Vault

Hi,

I’m trying to determine whether it’s possible to retrieve the metadata of a secret without fetching the secret itself. My goal is to first check the metadata and then decide whether to retrieve the secret using the with secret function.

Is this functionality natively supported, or would it require an enhancement?

The specific use case is to prevent the Vault Agent Injector from failing when the current version of a secret is deleted. Instead of failing, I want to be able to skip that specific secret gracefully.

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; start by examining the Vault integration and the `with secret` function to determine whether metadata-only retrieval is supported. Done means establishing whether this requires an enhancement and defining graceful handling when the current secret version has been deleted.
