9 tools

• handoff_put

  Store a piece of context and get back a short code. The person gives the link handover.tools/<code> to an agent on another device and it can fetch the content — no copy-paste of long text. The code is 8 letters, easy to type on a phone. NOT ENCRYPTED: the server can read what…

• handoff_get

  Fetch content stored by handoff_put using its 8-character code. The code is case-insensitive and hyphens are ignored, so 'kvmtrhxp' and 'KVMT-RHXP' are the same; the person may give it as a link like handover.tools/kvmtrhxp, and passing that is fine too. Return the content to…

• handoff_revoke

  Destroy content stored by handoff_put right now, before its TTL runs out and whether or not it has been fetched. Requires the revoke_key returned by handoff_put — the person fetching with the short code cannot revoke, only the writer can. Use this the moment someone says they…

• channel_open

  Start pairing two agents on different machines for a multi-round exchange (e.g. one explores, the other studies and asks follow-up questions). Use the local client at https://handover.tools/client/channel.py — do not call this by hand. The client generates a secret password…

• channel_join

  Second half of pairing, run by the local client at https://handover.tools/client/channel.py. Send only the first 3 characters of the spoken code (the nameplate) plus this side's SPAKE2 message; the other 5 characters are the password and must never be sent to the server. The…

• channel_send

  Relay one ciphertext to the other side of a paired channel. The ciphertext must come from the local client at https://handover.tools/client/channel.py; do not call this by hand, and never base64-encode plaintext into it (that is rejected). Only send after the person has seen and…

• channel_fetch

  Use the local client at https://handover.tools/client/channel.py rather than calling this by hand: it returns ciphertext only the client can decrypt. Returns the peer's messages this side has not fetched yet. Call only when the person asks. Clients fetch with peek=true, which…

• channel_ack

  Use the local client at https://handover.tools/client/channel.py rather than calling this by hand. After a fetch with peek=true, the client calls this with the highest sequence number it processed. That is what the peer sees as read, so a response lost in transit never turns…

• channel_close

  Either side can close. Deletes the channel, both keys, and every stored message immediately. The other side's next fetch reports not_found_or_closed.
