Direct answer
Capability Scoped Tokens, in this verification guide, is limited to the following inspected scope. Replay resistance, least-privilege access tokens, audience restriction, and counterfeit resource-server threats. Current Maha capability and client binding. The answer carries the source boundaries forward and does not infer authority from a neighboring topic.
Verification guide
Recompute or re-observe the relevant identity, digest, state, or output instead of trusting a self-declared success field.
A verifier must distinguish missing evidence, failed observation, mismatch, and confirmed success.
Applied scope: Replay resistance, least-privilege access tokens, audience restriction, and counterfeit resource-server threats. Current Maha capability and client binding.
Definition and operating context
The canonical concept owner is maha-strategies. This route may apply authority; it cannot redefine or inherit the authority of its canonical owner.
This property may publish bounded explanations, operational guides, commercial entry points. It must not publish research-source duplication or unreleased evidence claims.
Evidence and exact locators
Best Current Practice for OAuth 2.0 Security — Sections 2.2, 2.3, and 4.10.2. Establishes: Replay resistance, least-privilege access tokens, audience restriction, and counterfeit resource-server threats.
Agent client credential authorization — credential scopes, fingerprint, client binding, status, and authorization checks. Establishes: Current Maha capability and client binding.
What the evidence does not establish
OAuth security guidance does not prove a particular gateway enforces scopes or that an entitlement is commercially valid.
Local code does not independently establish deployment security or correct policy configuration.
This route must not claim research-source duplication.
This route must not claim unreleased evidence claims.

Questions this page can answer
What does Capability Scoped Tokens mean in this bounded context?
Capability Scoped Tokens, in this verification guide, is limited to the following inspected scope. Replay resistance, least-privilege access tokens, audience restriction, and counterfeit resource-server threats. Current Maha capability and client binding. The answer carries the source boundaries forward and does not infer authority from a neighboring topic.
Which inspected sources support this verification answer?
Best Current Practice for OAuth 2.0 Security (RFC 9700 / BCP 240, January 2025), at Sections 2.2, 2.3, and 4.10.2, supports replay resistance, least-privilege access tokens, audience restriction, and counterfeit resource-server threats. Agent client credential authorization (repository source inspected 2026-09-05), at credential scopes, fingerprint, client binding, status, and authorization checks, supports current Maha capability and client binding.
What does the evidence not establish?
OAuth security guidance does not prove a particular gateway enforces scopes or that an entitlement is commercially valid. Local code does not independently establish deployment security or correct policy configuration. Property boundary: This route may apply authority; it cannot redefine or inherit the authority of its canonical owner.
Which definition or canonical owner must be read first?
This page is the local maha-strategies definition for its topic. Related applications may depend on it but may not silently redefine it.
What source, policy, implementation, or release change would require revision?
Re-evaluate this page when a cited source, locator, governing instrument, local implementation, or canonical definition changes. Publication also requires a matching exact-revision review and active canonical release.
