fix(tool-gateway): let agents create gateway tokens without receiving the value (#20613)

## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - Tool gateways let external MCP clients use a company's tools with a gateway client token > - Since delegated connection management (#17737), an agent can create and revoke gateway client tokens for its responsible person > - #20581 stopped agents from getting the one-time token value, but it did this by making token creation person-only > - The product decision is that agents keep their delegated authority to create and revoke tokens > - This pull request restores agent token creation, but the agent never receives the token value: the person reveals the value once on the gateway's Tokens page > - The benefit is that an agent can do the rotation work for the person, and the secret still never enters chat, run events, logs or tool output ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #17737 Refs #20581 **What happened** After #20581, `POST /api/tool-gateway/gateways/{gatewayId}/tokens` returns 403 `gateway_token_requires_person` to every agent caller. Agents lost the delegated authority to create gateway client tokens that #17737 gave them. Before #20581, an agent that created a token received the plaintext value in its tool result and could repeat it in chat. **Expected behavior** An agent with delegated connection management can create and revoke gateway client tokens. The agent never receives a token value. The responsible person gets the value once, on the gateway's Tokens page. Person callers keep today's behavior. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Give an agent delegated connection management for a responsible person with `tools:admin`. 2. As the agent, call `POST /api/tool-gateway/gateways/{gatewayId}/tokens` (for example through `call_api`). 3. See 403 `gateway_token_requires_person`. ## What Changed - Agent create: `POST /api/tool-gateway/gateways/:gatewayId/tokens` from an agent with delegated authority returns 201 with token metadata only (`id`, `tokenPrefix`, `expiresAt`, `pendingReveal: true`), plus `tokensPath`, a `reveal_credential` `requiredUserAction` for the responsible person, and a `nextStep` instruction. The saved row has no usable value: its stored hash is of a value that is generated and then discarded. Gateway authentication also rejects `pendingReveal` rows. - Person reveal: new person-only `POST /api/tool-gateway/gateway-tokens/:tokenId/reveal`. It generates the value, stores its hash, clears `pendingReveal` and returns the value once. A conditional update makes a second or concurrent reveal return 409. Only the token's responsible person can reveal it (403 `gateway_token_reveal_requires_responsible_person`). Agent callers get 403 `gateway_token_requires_person`. A token revoked before reveal cannot be revealed. - Why a reveal that generates the value: no stored plaintext existed to reveal, and storing one (even encrypted) for later display adds a secret at rest. Generating the value at reveal time keeps the existing one-time display and stores only a hash. - Schema: `tool_mcp_gateway_tokens.pending_reveal boolean not null default false` (migration `0460_gateway_token_pending_reveal`). Shared `ToolMcpGatewayToken.pendingReveal`, and `ConnectionRequiredUserAction` gets `reveal_credential` / `gateway_token`. - UI: the Tokens page shows a "Waiting for you to reveal" section for pending tokens with a "Reveal token" button. The value appears in the existing "New token — copy now" one-time block. Pending tokens show the status "Not revealed". - Agent gateway create: the 201 for agent callers also includes `gatewayPath`, `tokensPath` and a `nextStep` that tells the agent to link the saved gateway. - The agent create-token `nextStep` and the catalog say not to revoke the old token in the same turn: its client keeps working on it until the person installs the new value. - The reveal update and its `tool_gateway.token_revealed` activity entry commit in one transaction. The Tokens page offers Reveal only for tokens that act for the signed-in person. - API reference: new `docs/api/tool-gateway-tokens.md` (create, reveal, revoke) in the docs nav. - Revoke stays allowed for agents with delegated authority (unchanged route). - API catalog: create-gateway, create-token, reveal and revoke descriptions now say who acts, that agents never receive values, the page paths, and that the old token is revoked only after the client works with the new one. - Agent access map: create-token policy note and a new reveal entry. - Evals `gateways-profiles.create-gateway` and `gateways-profiles.rotate-token`: - Remove the keyword grader (`human|operator|admin|manage`) and the handoff text checks. Grade saved state, rendered links and secret absence. A plain reply or a question card is accepted. - Remove the setup probes that called the create routes as the agent. Under delegated authority, those probes created a real gateway ("Forbidden agent gateway"), which failed create-gateway before the agent ran. - create-gateway: exactly one gateway for the intended profile and company, created by the agent (or by the person after a handoff); the person opens it from a rendered link; attribution matches the creator; any agent-created token is still pending reveal; no token value in chat, cards or run events. - rotate-token: after the agent's turn, both setup tokens still work and any replacement the agent created is pending the person's reveal; the person follows the rendered Tokens page link and reveals (or issues) the value in a private browser; the new value works before the old token is revoked; the unrelated client keeps access; no token value appears anywhere, including a regex scan for any full `pcgw_<id>.<secret>` value. - The changed scenario context and outcomes are recorded in `chat-full-catalog-testops-manifest.json` `changedFields` and pinned in the manifest test. The inventory digest, descriptors (`oracleVersion` v2, `sourceFiles`) and SDK public input pins are updated. The unused `external-gateway-handoff.ts` module is removed. - Fixture realism: the create-gateway profile now allows a real read tool (an empty profile made the agent ask which apps to add instead of finishing), and the rotation tokens get a neutral owner note instead of "Disposable rotation fixture" (the agent read that note as an eval hint). - Shared private-browser helpers (`external-private-browser.ts`, `external-private-browser-worker.ts`) get one optional `pendingTokenId` input and one `revealedPending` receipt field. ## Verification - Red: on `master` route code, the new integration tests `lets agents create and revoke gateway client tokens without ever receiving a token value` and `reveals an agent-created gateway token value only to its responsible person` fail (403 `gateway_token_requires_person`). - Green: `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/connection-management.integration.test.ts -t gateway` (25 passed). The test checks that the agent `call_api` result has no `token` field and no token-shaped value, that the agent cannot reveal, that the person reveals once (second reveal 409) and the value authenticates, that agent revoke works and stops the value, that a token revoked before reveal never gets a value, and that person create still returns the value. - `npx vitest run src/__tests__/tool-gateway.test.ts src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/runner-api.test.ts` (2247 passed). - `cd ui && npx vitest run src/pages/apps/gateways/panels/TokensPanel.test.tsx src/pages/apps/gateways/gateway-helpers.test.ts` (16 passed); `pnpm check:token-gates` clean. - Eval graders and catalog: `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/runner-e2e/vitest.config.ts` on the gateway oracle tests, `external.test.ts`, catalog consistency/contract, TestOps export/retained, phase/clock callers and SDK input/type tests (all pass); `node --test` on the TestOps manifest, adapter, contract, streaming and reconcile tests (all pass); `node tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.mjs <HEAD> --check` (unchanged). - `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` passes. `tsc --noEmit` for `server`, `ui` and `tests/runner-e2e`: no errors in changed files. - Paid end-to-end run of both eval cases, run [42872921890](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42872921890) on 39f38a7f6c (before the last three commits): both FAILED, for agent-behavior reasons the later commits address. Not rerun yet. - rotate-token: the agent created the replacement (pending reveal, no value), then revoked the old token in the same turn, despite the create response saying to wait. Its reasoning cited the eval-looking fixture note. The grader rejected the premature revocation. The reply linked the Tokens page correctly. - create-gateway: the agent created the gateway and one pending token, then asked a question card about which apps to add to the empty profile, with no link to the gateway. The grader rejected the missing link. - Token values: a scan of all evidence files of both cells found no full `pcgw_<id>.<secret>` value and no `pcgw_<uuid>` form. Agent `call_api` payloads in run events are redacted; the integration test proves the agent tool result has no value. ## Risks - Behavior change for agents: token create returns metadata and a Tokens page path, not a value. Agents that expect `token` in the response must send the person to the Tokens page. - Migration adds one boolean column with a default. Existing tokens get `false` and keep working. - A pending token that is never revealed stays as an unusable row until someone revokes it.

+title: Tool Gateway Tokens
+summary: Create, reveal and revoke gateway client tokens
+---
+
+A tool gateway exposes a company's tool access profile to external MCP clients. A client connects with a gateway client token. Paperclip stores only a hash of each token value.
+
+## Create a Token
+
+```
+POST /api/tool-gateway/gateways/{gatewayId}/tokens
+{
+  "companyId": "{companyId}",
+  "name": "Website client",
+  "clientLabel": "Website client",
+  "expiresAt": "2026-12-31T23:59:59.000Z"
+}
+```
+
+The caller needs `tools:admin` in the company.
+
+A person (board session) receives the value once, in the `token` field of the `201` response. Copy it then: Paperclip cannot show it again.
+
+An agent with delegated connection management can create a token for its responsible person. The agent never receives a value. The `201` response contains:
+
+- token metadata: `id`, `name`, `tokenPrefix`, `expiresAt`, `responsibleUserId`, and `pendingReveal: true`
+- `tokensPath`: the gateway's Tokens page, `/{prefix}/apps/gateways/{gatewayId}/tokens`
+- `requiredUserAction`: `kind: "reveal_credential"` for the responsible person, with `setupPath` set to the Tokens page
+- `nextStep`: an instruction for the agent
+
+A token with `pendingReveal: true` has no usable value and cannot authenticate. The agent sends the person to the Tokens page to reveal it.
+
+To rotate a client's token, create the replacement and leave the old token active. The client keeps working on the old token until the person installs the new value. Revoke the old token after the client works with the new one.
+
+## Reveal an Agent-Created Token
+
+```
+POST /api/tool-gateway/gateway-tokens/{tokenId}/reveal
+{ "companyId": "{companyId}" }
+```
+
+Person-only. Paperclip generates the value at this moment, stores its hash, and returns it once in the `token` field. The Tokens page calls this route from its **Reveal token** button.
+
+| Status | Reason code | Meaning |
+|--------|-------------|---------|
+| `200` | | The response contains the value. It is not shown again. |
+| `403` | `gateway_token_requires_person` | The caller is an agent. Only a person can reveal a value. |
+| `403` | `gateway_token_reveal_requires_responsible_person` | The token acts for another person. Only that person can reveal it. |
+| `409` | `gateway_token_already_revealed` | The value was already shown once. Create a new token to get a new value. |
+| `409` | `gateway_token_revoked` | The token was revoked before its value was revealed. |
+| `409` | `gateway_token_expired` | The token expired before its value was revealed. Create a new token. |
+
+Each reveal writes a `tool_gateway.token_revealed` activity entry.
+
+## Revoke a Token
+
+```
+POST /api/tool-gateway/gateway-tokens/{tokenId}/revoke
+{ "companyId": "{companyId}" }
+```
+
+A person or an agent with delegated connection management can revoke a token. Clients that use it stop working at once.
+
+## Create a Gateway
+
+```
+POST /api/companies/{companyId}/tools/gateways
+```
+
+When an agent creates a gateway, the `201` response also contains `gatewayPath` (`/{prefix}/apps/gateways/{gatewayId}/overview`), `tokensPath` and `nextStep`.
