# Auth - MCP Tool Specification

This document outlines the specification for tools within the Auth module that are intended to be integrated with the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

## Current Status: No MCP Tools Defined

The Auth module provides authentication and authorization capabilities for internal use by other Codomyrmex modules, including API key management, OAuth integration, token management and validation, and permission-based access control. These functions are primarily for programmatic integration within the application lifecycle and are not suited for exposure as Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools.

MCP tools are typically designed for discrete, invocable actions or queries that an external agent (like an LLM) would trigger. The internal authentication and authorization mechanisms do not fit this paradigm.

If future enhancements to this module introduce features that are appropriate for MCP (e.g., validating a token against a permission set, or querying the permission registry for a resource), this document will be updated accordingly.

For details on how to use the auth functionalities within your Python code, please refer to the module's `README.md` and `API_SPECIFICATION.md`.
