Direct answer
Credential Rotation, in this verification guide, is limited to the following inspected scope. Sender constraint, audience-restricted access tokens, and refresh-token rotation. Current Maha machine-credential issuance shape and refusal checks. 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: Sender constraint, audience-restricted access tokens, and refresh-token rotation. Current Maha machine-credential issuance shape and refusal checks.
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 4.14. Establishes: Sender constraint, audience-restricted access tokens, and refresh-token rotation.
Agent client credential authorization — createCredentialSecret; authorizeClientAccess; status and expires_at checks. Establishes: Current Maha machine-credential issuance shape and refusal checks.
What the evidence does not establish
The BCP addresses OAuth; non-OAuth secrets need an explicitly translated lifecycle.
The source does not prove external revocation or rotation has occurred.
This route must not claim research-source duplication.
This route must not claim unreleased evidence claims.

Questions this page can answer
What does Credential Rotation mean in this bounded context?
Credential Rotation, in this verification guide, is limited to the following inspected scope. Sender constraint, audience-restricted access tokens, and refresh-token rotation. Current Maha machine-credential issuance shape and refusal checks. 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 4.14, supports sender constraint, audience-restricted access tokens, and refresh-token rotation. Agent client credential authorization (repository source reviewed 2026-09-05), at createCredentialSecret; authorizeClientAccess; status and expires_at checks, supports current Maha machine-credential issuance shape and refusal checks.
What does the evidence not establish?
The BCP addresses OAuth; non-OAuth secrets need an explicitly translated lifecycle. The source does not prove external revocation or rotation has occurred. 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.
