- `get_credential_details(credential_id)` - Get full details

**Read-Write Mode:**
- `add_credential(app, base_url, access_token, [user_name], [expires])`
- `update_credential(credential_id, [fields...])`
- `delete_credential(credential_id)`

## 📋 Usage Examples

```python
# List all credentials
list_credentials()
# {"credentials": [{"id": "abc...", "app": "GitHub"}], "count": 1}

# Get credential details
get_credential_details("credential-id")

# Add new credential (write mode only)
add_credential("GitHub", "https://api.github.com", "ghp_token", "user", "2024-12-31T23:59:59")
```
