inboundRotate

Replaces the secret of one of the box's inbound addresses. The old secret stops working at once.

  • Cost: Free. Signed by the box's agent over method POST, path /agent/v1/<address lowercased>/inbound/<id>/rotate and no body (the hash of no bytes). Or send an ARCGATE-KEY of the account the box is linked to, with no signature. Another account's key, or any key for a box that is not linked, does not apply to the box: the call is checked as if no key were sent, so it needs the signature. A key nobody holds is a 401 key_invalid. The key keeps working after the account has lapsed (its grace has ended).

  • Inputs: address and id (path). No body.

  • Returns: the id, the url and the new secret. The secret is shown only now: give it to your senders.

  • Errors:

    • 404 inbound_address_not_found: the box has no address with that id.

  • Next:

    • inboundList: list the box's inbound addresses.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesThe inbound address's id: 22 base64url characters, as the create or the list returned it.
addressYesThe box's address: the agent's own address (an EOA or an EIP-7702 account), any letter case. The box is keyed by it, and a signed request must be signed by it.
agentSignatureNoThe agent's EIP-712 signature over this request, as the AGENT-SIGNATURE, AGENT-NONCE and AGENT-EXPIRY headers carry it over HTTP. Sign the typed data `AgentRequest` with fields `address` (the box), `method`, `path`, `bodyHash`, `nonce` and `expiry`, under the domain {name: "arcgate", version: "1"} with no chainId (a wallet that can only sign with one, such as Circle's, may add the chainId of the chain this deployment serves, 5042 on Arc mainnet, and no other). The `path` is the request path with every parameter filled in and the address lowercased. The `bodyHash` is the keccak256 of the canonical JSON of the body you send (sorted keys, no whitespace), or of no bytes when there is none. Omitting it is a 401 signature_required unless an ARCGATE-KEY of the account the box is linked to is sent (over MCP, on the connection), and it is never a charge: the call is free.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and does so thoroughly: old secret stops working immediately, secret shown only now, cost is free, detailed signing/auth requirements, 401/404 cases, and the ARCGATE-KEY alternative. Rich behavioral disclosure.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Well-structured with front-loaded purpose and labeled bullets (Cost, Inputs, Returns, Errors, Next). Slightly verbose on signing details, but each section is purposeful and scannable.

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?

No output schema, but the description fully covers return values (id, url, new secret and its one-time visibility), errors, and auth. An agent has everything needed to call it correctly.

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%, so the schema already documents all three parameters. The description adds that address and id are path params, no body, and that the path in signature uses the lowercased address—useful but marginal against the exhaustive schema.

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?

States a specific verb and resource: 'Replaces the secret of one of the box's inbound addresses.' This is unambiguous and distinguishable from siblings like inboundCreate/inboundDelete/inboundList.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Provides a useful 'Next' pointer to inboundList and hints at use ('give it to your senders'), but does not explicitly state when to rotate vs. using inboundCreate/inboundDelete or any preconditions beyond signing.

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