# Special Environment Variables

> Use Paradime-provided environment variables to inject runtime metadata and dynamic configuration values into your dbt runs.

Paradime Bolt exposes two categories of special environment variables: audit variables that stamp run metadata into your materialized tables, and runtime variables that let you inject dynamic values into your schedule commands securely.
