Agent creation at swarm level is event-driven and nothing sweeps for
agents missing a credential, so an agent created before a credential
joined the mint never receives one -- nothing comes back around to it.
Without a way to re-run the mint by hand, the only route to giving an
existing agent its queue credential would be to delete and recreate the
agent.
POST /api/agents/{name}/identity enqueues the same MintAgentIdentity
node POST /api/agents declares, rather than writing inline: a second
code path that mints an identity is a second place for the four strings
that have to agree to disagree. swarmctl agent mint-identity is the
operator end, the same POST-and-print-the-node-id shape agent create
already has.
--hive is required on both ends. Neither the CLI nor the controller
keeps a roster of which agent runs where, and the credentials this mints
name a hive, so a default would be a guess that hands an agent subjects
on a hive it does not run on.
Documents the backfill as a runbook step, and fills in the renewal cell
the credential matrix requires for the new row.

Tools
hivectl is your tool — the operator's own host CLI. Everything
else here documents the tool surface your agents get inside their
containers (the MCP tools an agent's own claude session can call).
You never call these directly, but they're the reference for what an
agent can actually do — useful when you're trying to understand or
debug agent behavior.
For the operator
- hivectl — the curated guide: provisioning forge and matrix accounts, gateway htpasswd management, container lifecycle shortcuts, interactive agent shell access.
- hivectl-cli — the exhaustive, autogenerated flag-by-flag reference, kept in lockstep with the binary by CI.
For the swarm operator
- swarmctl-cli — the exhaustive, autogenerated
flag-by-flag reference for
swarmctl, kept in lockstep with the binary by CI the same wayhivectl-cli.mdis.swarmctlitself runs as root on the swarm-controller host, not throughhivectl— seeswarmctl/README.mdfor why. Two verb families today:user(authelia's subject store, edited in place) andagent create(queues the swarm-controller's creation job graph). No curated guide yet; add one here if/when that grows.
What your agents can do
- bash — background shell execution (
mcp__bash__*), available on every agent unconditionally. - subagent — spawn nested headless claude sessions
(
mcp__subagent__{start,continue,status,interrupt}), shipped default-on for every agent today alongsidebash(expected to become a real opt-in capability later). - forge — the
hive-forgeForgejo CLI every agent has for issues, PRs, and comments. Not an MCP tool — a binary agents shell out to instead of ad-hoc curl. - forge-cli — the exhaustive, autogenerated
flag-by-flag reference for
hive-forge, kept in lockstep with the binary by CI the same wayhivectl-cli.mdis. - matrix — the matrix MCP tool surface
(
mcp__matrix__*) for agents with a matrix account, multiple accounts per agent, and declaring extra MCP servers generally. - scheduling — scheduled prompts (operator approval required).
