Have you taken a look at this lookup plugin?

Open to correction, but I think that at the moment the best route would probably be to create a Custom Credential Type [https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/docs/credentials/custom\_credential\_types.md#custom-credential-types-overview](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/docs/credentials/custom_credential_types.md#custom-credential-types-overview) and then create a Credential of that type that would inject the information you need into your job environment.
