Token2 ships a PowerShell bulk-enrollment script (fido2_bulkenroll_entraid) that could in principle be scripted/automated, and fido2-manage exposes some command-line-style operations (PIN, SSH key management) beyond its Python/tkinter GUI, suggesting some automation potential. However, the flagship tool is explicitly GUI-based and requires physical FIDO2 hardware interaction over USB/NFC, and there is no documented headless mode, CI integration, or automation-focused CLI/API (no OpenAPI, no llms.txt, no CI examples). Missing for 10: dedicated headless/CI-mode documentation, evidence of non-interactive scripted runs without physical key presence, and any CI/pipeline integration guide.

Token2 provides fido2_bulkenroll_entraid, a dedicated PowerShell tool for bulk-provisioning FIDO2 keys into Entra ID, and fido2-manage is a scriptable CLI (list/delete/edit passkeys, PIN and bio-template management, SSH key handling) that can be run in loops/scripts to act across many devices. This is real automation-depth for security-key/credential management but is narrow in scope (security keys/passkeys, one specific IdP integration) rather than a general bulk-operations API. Missing for 10: a general-purpose bulk API/SDK, documented batch endpoints beyond the Entra-specific script, and independent evidence of large-scale bulk use in production.
