What is the nature and description of the request?

From the command line, ansible-core makes it possible to use a vault client script to run playbooks (see exaxmple below). Ansible Automation Platform (specifically Automation Controller) does not allow for vault client scripts. It only allows for specifying a vault-id and vault password.

ansible-playbook --vault-id vaulttest@vaulttest.py my_playbook.yml

Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

Customer has a specific script that they use to decrypt vault-encrypted data.
