๐ŸŽฏAPI Stability
Long-TermThis API is stable and will remain supported across versions with minimal breaking changes.

Summary

The rotateToken() mutation invalidates the current value of an existing token and issues a new one. The token record โ€” including its name, associated permissions, and labels โ€” is preserved; only the credential value changes. The mutation returns the new token string, which takes effect immediately. The previous value cannot be used for authentication after rotation completes. Use this mutation to implement credential rotation policies without deleting and recreating token configuration. Provide the token's unique identifier through the input argument to perform the rotation.

Syntax

graphql
rotateToken(
      input: RotateTokenInputData!
   ): String!

The required input argument accepts a RotateTokenInputData object containing the unique identifier of the token to rotate. Use the tokens() query to retrieve token identifiers.

The mutation returns a non-null String! containing the new token value. Store this value immediately โ€” it is the credential that replaces the invalidated token.
