Drive Sonatype Nexus with governed agents
Build, review and release state is where agents earn their keep. The Sonatype Nexus connector is one of 205 executable connectors and gives agents 5 read-only tools, with the credential held in the vault and every call receipted.
What agents can run against Sonatype Nexus
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
status_check | Get the results of the Nexus Repository system status checks (one entry per check, each with healthy, message and duration). These report Nexus Repository's own internal state, not the hardware or an external database |
list_repositories | List the repositories this account has browse permission on (name, format, type, browse URL, stored size) |
get_repository | Get the limited configuration Nexus Repository reports for one repository by name (format, type, browse URL). Format-specific and type-specific settings are only available from the per-format endpoints, which this connector does not wire |
list_components | List the components stored in one repository (id, format, group, name, version). Nexus Repository returns 100 components per page and hands back a continuationToken when more remain |
search_components | Search components across Nexus Repository by repository, format, group, name or version, using the same mechanism the Repository Manager UI uses. An omitted criterion is treated as no criterion rather than a wildcard |
Every tool above is read-only. Write surfaces ship only after live testing, and always behind approval gates.
What the Sonatype Nexus connector needs
You provide base URL, username, password from your Sonatype Nexus account; Quox sends it as HTTP basic credentials. The credential is stored encrypted in the vault and resolved just-in-time, so agents use it without ever seeing it.
Where to get it: Sonatype Nexus's own API documentation ↗ covers creating and scoping the credential.
How proven is this?
LIVE-PROVEN: every tool on this page was executed with real credentials against a real running Sonatype Nexus instance (provisioned for the proof, then destroyed), and every call answered successfully. The strongest proof class a connector can carry before it runs inside your own deployment.

Do agents see my Sonatype Nexus credentials?
No. Credentials live encrypted in the Quox vault and are resolved server-side at call time. Agents invoke tools; they never receive the underlying secret.
