## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call TOTP secret validation step in an automation or agent workflow, particularly before enrolling a secret into a 2FA system or generating authenticator QR codes. Prefer this when you need a simple pass/fail signal on secret format correctness without running a full authentication stack.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed base32 secret string returns an error status
- Empty or missing 'secret' field in request body may return a validation error
- Secrets with incorrect padding or non-base32 characters may fail processing
