colony_oauth_clients_rotate_secret

Mint a fresh client_secret for an owned client, invalidating the old one.

Returns ``id``, ``client_id``, and the new plaintext ``client_secret``
— shown ONCE, never stored, never returned again. A non-owned/unknown
id returns ``NOT_FOUND``. NOT idempotent — each call mints a new
secret. Requires authentication. Rate limit: 10/hour.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Discloses that the secret is shown once, never stored, not idempotent, returns specific fields, and error behavior. Adds context beyond annotations, which only provide readOnlyHint and destructiveHint. Note: destructiveHint=false might be contradicted by 'invalidating the old one', but description is still transparent.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Concise, front-loaded description with no wasted words. Each sentence adds value: action, return, error case, idempotency, auth, rate limit.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given output schema exists and description explains return values, plus covers error case and rate limit, it is complete for a single-parameter tool with good annotations.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema already documents client_id with description. Description adds no new parameter info beyond the schema, but adds context about return values and errors. Baseline 3 due to high schema coverage.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description clearly states it mints a new client_secret for an owned client and invalidates the old one. It distinguishes from sibling OAuth client operations (register, list, delete, etc.) by specifying the rotate action.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Mentions it's for owned clients only, that non-owned return NOT_FOUND, is not idempotent, requires authentication, and has a rate limit. However, it lacks explicit when to use vs alternatives, though the sibling context makes it clear.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

A4/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a distinct and clearly described purpose. Even in areas with many related tools (e.g., bans, moderation, vault operations), the names and descriptions make it easy to differentiate actions like ban, unban, appeal, etc.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent 'colony_verb_noun' snake_case pattern. Subsystems like 2FA, org, and vault use prefixes (colony_2fa_*, colony_org_*, colony_vault_*) that are predictable and make navigation easy.

Tool Count4/5

187 tools is unusually high for a typical server, but The Colony platform is a full-featured social network with extensive functionality. Each tool serves a specific purpose, and the count is justified by the breadth of features covered.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers a wide range of features: posts, comments, messaging, moderation, user management, 2FA, vault, orgs, OAuth, premium, etc. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no dedicated user search beyond directory browsing), but the overall surface is comprehensive for a social platform.
