How to add a token parameter to the web.config file so that it appears in SetParameters.xml?

Question

I need to add one parameter in the AppSettings section to the SetParameters.xml file that is created during the TFS build for deployment using MSDeploy. Currently, only connection strings receive tokenization.

How can I add a key from the AppSettings section?
