phased-credential-activation-for-external-api-tools
When integrating tools that require multiple credential tiers (e.g., xAI key → X Bearer Token → OAuth 2.0), design the system to auto-detect available credentials at runtime and expose only valid commands. This prevents runtime errors from calling endpoints with insufficient auth and allows immediate partial deployment. Phase 1 with lowest-tier credentials should deliver substantial standalone value.
