I believe this is the vent to my plumbing but I’ve never seen a cap like this. Any ideas?

Take two pieces of wood, longer than the caps diameter. Drill a hole into one of them large enough for a screw. Put screw through and screw it into the other piece of wood, but leave enough space. Lay the contraption on the cap so that two opposing pins are between the woods. Turn screw tight so that the construction grabs those pins tight, like a vise. Turn anti-clockwise to open.
