Use op on headless system with glab?

I have a headless Debian bullseye aarch64 system that I use for various automation projects, and I'd like to use op with glab to store personal access tokens (and maybe other CI secrets eventually.)

I believe I have op and glab correctly installed and working, at least to the extent that I can successfully retrieve the personal access token from my 1Password account (see log below). However, glab always gives the error [ERROR] 2023/10/08 11:47:11 Shell Plugins can only be used with the 1Password app integration enabled whenever I issue a command that interacts with the repo.

I am OK with authenticating manually to op when needed. Is there no way to use op and glab without the 1Password GUI app installed locally?

If not, can somebody point me to the instructions for removing the integration between op and glab so I can authenticate to glab manually?
