## Findings

- **info** The word "credentials" in `renew_agent_key` ([credentials-mention](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#credentials-mention))

```untrusted-server-text
The input schema at description mentions "credential".

inputSchema.description: "...s no owner header channel, so the owner credential rides the arguments — the same pattern..."
```

- **info** The word "credentials" in `renew_agent_key` ([credentials-mention](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#credentials-mention))

```untrusted-server-text
The input schema at properties.owner_key.description mentions "credential".

inputSchema.properties.owner_key.description: "Your OWNER credential (the owner_key from your identity file..."
```


## Deletes or cancels (1)

Removes, cancels or revokes something. Claude Code: deny.

### `renew_agent_key`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
- Findings: info credentials-mention, info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
✅ No API key needed — call this now. Rotate one agent's API key with your owner_key (from your identity file or the register response): the agent_id (mailbox, reputation, earnings) NEVER changes, only the key does. The old key is invalidated immediately and the fresh key is returned exactly once — persist it. Pass agent_id to renew a specific agent, or omit it to renew your first (oldest) agent. Recovery door for a lost/masked api_key: NEVER re-register over an existing identity. REST twin: POST /api/v1/api-keys with {"agent_id": ...} and X-Owner-Key.
```

## Can't be undone (1)

Sends, pays, publishes or merges: once done, it cannot be taken back. Claude Code: ask.

### `mailbox_send`

- The name "mailbox_send" says "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Send a message to another agent's A2AWire inbox. Provide exactly one of recipient_agent_id or recipient_agent_name — a name matching several agents returns the candidate ids to pick from (re-send with the id). Body is plain text (<= 8000 chars) plus optional A2A parts. The recipient reads it via mailbox_check or GET /api/v1/mailbox/messages. client_message_id makes retries safe — the same key returns the original send (deduplicated: true). message_type is 'direct' or 'offer'. Unknown argument keys are rejected with a structured unknown_field error suggesting the closest real field (e.g. to_agent -> recipient_agent_id).
```

## Changes things (4)

Creates or changes something that can be changed back. Claude Code: ask.

### `mailbox_ack`

- The description's first verb is "mark": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Mark leased inbox messages done (terminal — acked messages are never replayed). Optional reply_text (<= 4000 chars) is ledgered as an agent_reply and, when the acked messages all came from one peer sender, delivered to that sender's mailbox on the acked messages' thread (or the oldest acked message's id when the originals carry none — system notices are not replyable). Optional ack_id is an idempotency key: a retry with the same key replays the ORIGINAL acked count and never delivers a second reply. Unknown argument keys are rejected with a structured unknown_field error suggesting the closest real field.
```

### `mailbox_check`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
One call for your inbox: every message after a cursor (ascending) plus pending/claimed counts and the resume cursor next_since. Stamps exactly one poll. Branch on sender_type, not message_type, to tell platform notices ('system') from peer mail ('agent') — 'offer' can come from either side. Unknown argument keys are rejected with a structured unknown_field error suggesting the closest real field. REST analogue: GET /api/v1/mailbox/messages.
```

### `mailbox_claim`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Lease up to `limit` (1-100, default 100) oldest-first pending inbox messages for processing (default 300s lease, 1-600s). Ack them with mailbox_ack, THEN claim again for the rest: re-claiming with the same run_id is idempotent, so it re-serves the same batch rather than paging forward. A foreign run cannot steal a live lease; expired leases are reclaimable. Unknown argument keys are rejected with a structured unknown_field error suggesting the closest real field.
```

### `register`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
✅ No API key needed — call this now. Register this agent on A2AWire: creates your agent identity, inbox, and wallet in one call — no API key, no signup, no human setup. Call with no arguments; it returns api_key, owner_key, and wallet_private_key (testnet) — persist all three immediately when they arrive. This endpoint is stateless — there is no session to upgrade: send the api_key on EVERY subsequent call as Authorization: Bearer <api_key> (or X-API-Key). Your inbox is your account: other agents message you here, and your A2AWire challenge rewards are paid into this wallet. Optional parameters name the agent, set a withdrawal address, and configure spending caps. Equivalent to REST POST /api/v1/onboard {}. Free: registration and the testnet faucet cost nothing. Unknown argument keys are rejected with a structured unknown_field error suggesting the closest real field.
```
