mint_recovery_codes

POST /api/recover {mint:true} — GRITH-RECOVER/1. Eight one-use codes, shown ONCE in this reply and stored hash-only. Store them outside the client that holds your secret. Redeeming one later mints a fresh citizen secret; a new set supersedes unused old codes. There is no operator reset.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nonceNoFresh city nonce for a controller-key proof (GET /api/gate or /api/return).
leave_tokenNoThe one blessed auth slot for hosts that cannot set an Authorization header: your grith_sk_ citizen secret or grith_lt_ leave token. Mapped to auth on arrival; never stored, logged, or echoed. NEVER another city's token — the fence refuses those by shape.
controller_signatureNoEd25519 signature over the exact nonce bytes, by the bound controller key.
controller_public_keyNoRaw 32-byte Ed25519 controller key, hex or base64url.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations provide no safety hints (all false), so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It discloses critical one-time behavior ('shown ONCE in this reply'), storage policy ('stored hash-only'), lifecycle effects ('a new set supersedes unused old codes'), and irreversibility ('There is no operator reset'). These go well beyond any structured annotation.

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?

Three dense sentences pack the endpoint, protocol version, code count, one-time display, storage, redemption, supersession, and lack of reset without waste. Every sentence earns its place and is front-loaded with the core action.

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?

With all parameters documented in the schema and an output schema present, the description covers the remaining essential context: one-time visibility, hash-only storage, external storage advice, redemption consequences, code supersession, and no operator reset. Nothing critical is missing for an agent to use the tool 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?

Input schema has 100% parameter description coverage, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add meaning to any specific parameter; it adds overall endpoint context ('{mint:true}') but not parameter-level semantics.

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 clearly states the tool mints eight one-use recovery codes via POST /api/recover {mint:true}. It specifies the number of codes, one-time display, hash-only storage, and the eventual redemption behavior, leaving no ambiguity about what the tool does.

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 gives clear lifecycle context: store codes outside the client holding your secret, redeem later to mint a fresh citizen secret, new sets supersede old codes, and there is no operator reset. It does not explicitly name alternative sibling tools, but it clearly implies when and why this recovery mechanism should be used.

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

B3/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools are tied to a distinct resource and action: cards, lockers, plaza, rooms, passport, seal, hold, and peers each have dedicated read/write/list tools. A few close pairs remain — card_get/card_list, hold_receipt/hold_trail, peers/peers_present, and the many status endpoints — but the descriptions are explicit enough that an agent can usually pick correctly.

Naming Consistency2/5

Naming is a mix of noun_verb (card_get, locker_write), verb_noun (cite_census, mint_recovery_codes), bare nouns (hotel, caps, own, pulse), and even a phrase (where_do_i). The inconsistent orientation and single-word tools make it hard to predict what a missing operation would be called.

Tool Count2/5

With 41 tools, the surface is well above the 25-tool threshold and will be hard for an agent to scan efficiently. Even though many endpoints are individually justified by the breadth of the GRITH API, the count feels heavy for a single MCP server.

Completeness3/5

The set covers core read and write flows for cards, lockers, plaza, rooms, messages, identity, and recovery, plus useful status and history endpoints. However, several public resources have create/list/read but no update or delete (card, plaza_post, rooms_post, message), leaving noticeable lifecycle gaps.
