Maybe I'm just missing something, let me explain:

I've already ssh'd to my work machine. I want to send an HTTP request to my company's internal web API from that machine, but we only use webauthn credentials. I'm going to use curl to send the request to the web API. With basic username/password auth or totp it's easy for me to write a script that prompts me for my password/totp code and marshals in into the expected format. How do I do this with my FIDO2 private key in a way that doesn't completely undermine the whole process?

I'm not sure you can. If it is possible, it probably requires some open-source tools and a pretty painful process to get the credentials off a hardware token (if that's even possible) and go through the various API calls.

Maybe there's something here?

No, you cannot do a Webauthn authentication with curl. You would need to redirect to a Javascript-capable browser to do the authentication, and then use whatever the service returns as a token with curl (cookie, JWT, ...).

I mean, we already have this problem with stuff like OAuth2. Usually, at some point in the process, you will need to enter your credentials in some JS-capable browser.

The usual process is for your script to do an OAuth flow on an embedded web server with Okta or whatever, and to port forward that embedded server to your client machine. VS code remote handles this pretty well for example.

This is a bit batty and not sure it would work but I wonder if you could expose /dev/hidraw using sshfs then your work machine would see it as a local yubikey.
