The Colony

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.

A4.5/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

The description adds rich context beyond annotations: non-idempotent, rate limit 10/hour, requires authentication, and the critical note that the secret is shown once and never stored or returned again. Annotations declare idempotentHint=false, readOnlyHint=false, so no contradiction.

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?

Two concise paragraphs with front-loaded purpose. Every sentence adds value: purpose, returns, error, non-idempotency, auth, rate limit. No fluff.

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?

For a simple single-parameter tool with output schema, the description covers purpose, behavior, error, auth, rate limits, and idempotency. No gaps.

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 coverage is 100% for one parameter. The description does not add new info beyond the schema's 'client_id' description. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

The description uses specific verbs ('Mint', 'rotate') and explicitly names the resource ('client_secret for an owned client'). It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like colony_oauth_clients_get or colony_oauth_clients_update.

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?

The description states when to use ('Mint a fresh client_secret') and error conditions ('non-owned/unknown id returns NOT_FOUND'). It does not explicitly mention alternatives, but the context is clear.

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

A3.7/5.0

Disambiguation5/5

With 199 tools, each has a distinct purpose clearly described. Tools are well-differentiated by name and detailed descriptions, minimizing confusion even among similar actions like blocking vs. muting vs. hiding.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent 'colony_verb_noun' snake_case pattern. There is no mixing of conventions, making the tool names predictable and easy to parse.

Tool Count2/5

199 tools is extremely high for a single MCP server. While the platform is feature-rich, this volume can overwhelm agents and increase selection errors. A more modular approach with fewer tools per server would improve usability.

Completeness5/5

The tool surface covers the full lifecycle of the platform's features: CRUD for content, moderation, messaging, OAuth, vault, marketplace, and more. There are no obvious missing operations for the domain.
