## Changes things (11)

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

### `gate_add_app`

- The name "gate_add_app" says "add": a word for a change.
- Findings: high sensitive-path

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Give one app its own key and the calls it may make. Routes are rules like "GET /orders/:id", "POST /orders", "GET /users/{user}/orders" (per-user), or example calls like "GET /orders/42", which become rules. Returns the app key (shown once).
```

### `gate_add_approver`

- The name "gate_add_approver" says "add": a word for a change.
- Findings: high sensitive-path

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Create an approver key for the person who approves held actions (shown once). Give it to that person, never to an agent: once a project has an approver, the admin key can no longer approve.
```

### `gate_audit`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: high sensitive-path

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The most recent calls through the gateway (time, app, matched route, status, reason, duration), newest first, with totals by status and refusal reason. Gate never stores bodies, query values or headers.
```

### `gate_audit_verify`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: high sensitive-path

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Recompute a pasted export chain and project signature; returns intact or broken_at (one-based row position). Does not approve actions or change permissions.
```

### `gate_create_project`

- The name "gate_create_project" says "create": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Put Odile Gate in front of an existing HTTPS API. Returns project_id, admin_key (shown once) and the gateway base URL apps call instead of the API.
```

### `gate_create_run`

- The name "gate_create_run" says "create": a word for a change.
- Findings: high sensitive-path

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Gate Actions: give one agent session narrow, expiring permission. Actions are rules with {placeholders} bound by scope (e.g. "PATCH /customers/{customer}/tickets/:id" with scope {"customer":"A"}), each with an optional max and approval. Returns a run token (shown once) the agent sends as x-odile-run with its app key. Writes in a run need an Idempotency-Key. Give a write a check ("GET /bookings?idempotency_key={key}") and the agent can settle a lost answer with POST /g/<id>/_gate/recover.
```

### `gate_delegate_run`

- The name "gate_delegate_run" says "run": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Hand a narrower run to another active app in the same project. Uses the parent app key and run token, never the admin key. Scope, expiry, approvals and ancestor budgets stay enforced; maximum depth five.
```

### `gate_run_timeline`

- The name "gate_run_timeline" says "run": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: high sensitive-path, warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read call metadata, approvals and approver names, recovery outcomes and delegated children; no bodies or query values.
```

### `gate_run_tree`

- The name "gate_run_tree" says "run": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: high sensitive-path, warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read a run and its delegated descendants without tokens.
```

### `gate_set_app_runs`

- The name "gate_set_app_runs" says "set": a word for a change.
- Findings: high sensitive-path

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Make an app need a run: "writes" (every write needs x-odile-run), "all" (every call), or "off".
```

### `gate_sync_declarative`

- The name "gate_sync_declarative" says "sync": a word for a change.
- Findings: high sensitive-path

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Make a Gate project match an odile.yaml: creates the project (if no project_id) and missing apps and approvers, applies run mode, loop and learning settings and alerts. Never revokes or deletes; differences it cannot apply (an app's routes or rate limit) come back as drift. dry_run lists the steps without changing anything. New keys are shown once.
```

## Only reads (6)

Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow.

### `gate_audit_proof`

- The description's first verb is "read": a word for reading.
- Findings: high sensitive-path

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read chained audit rows and their anchors with an HMAC-SHA256 signature. Old rows before genesis are excluded; store_audit=false projects have no chain. Row-id range, up to 10,000 rows per page; follow next_from.
```

### `gate_explain_refusal`

- The name "gate_explain_refusal" says "explain": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
What a Gate refusal means and how to fix it, from the x-gate-refused header value (e.g. route_not_allowed).
```

### `gate_learn_suggestions`

- The description's first verb is "read": a word for reading.
- Findings: high sensitive-path

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read normalized routes and a suggested per-minute limit from an admin-enabled, time-boxed learning session. Records only method, normalized path templates and counts per minute; no query values, raw ids, headers or bodies. Never enables learning or applies rules.
```

### `gate_list_actions`

- The name "gate_list_actions" says "list": a word for reading.
- Findings: high sensitive-path

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Actions waiting for approval (or in another state), with the exact call. Approving is done by a person in the dashboard, not by a tool.
```

### `gate_list_apps`

- The name "gate_list_apps" says "list": a word for reading.
- Findings: high sensitive-path

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The project's apps with their allowed calls, limits and state.
```

### `gate_validate_config`

- The name "gate_validate_config" says "validate": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Parse and check a declarative Gate config (apps, routes, rate limits, run mode, plugins, alerts, approvers) without changing anything. Returns errors with their path, warnings, and the normalized config.
```
