Given param is not a supported tool action

Error message

Given param is not a supported tool action

What it means

Thrown by the tools route model (ui/app/routes/vault/cluster/tools/tool.js:15). The route validates the selected_action URL segment against the fixed list from the tools-actions helper: wrap, lookup, unwrap, rewrap, random, hash. Anything else fails the includes() check and throws instead of rendering a tool form.

Solutions

1. Use one of the supported tool actions: wrap, lookup, unwrap, rewrap, random, or hash
2. Navigate via Tools in the UI sidebar so the action link is always a valid one
3. Update stale bookmarks or links pointing at unsupported action names

const TOOLS_ACTIONS = ['wrap', 'lookup', 'unwrap', 'rewrap', 'random', 'hash'];
if (!TOOLS_ACTIONS.includes(params.selected_action)) {
  this.router.transitionTo('vault.cluster.tools'); // bounce to the tool picker instead of throwing
}

import { toolsActions } from 'vault/helpers/tools-actions';
function isSupportedToolAction(action: string): boolean {
  return toolsActions().includes(action as never);
}

try {
  await this.router.transitionTo('vault.cluster.tools.tool', action);
} catch (e) {
  if (e.message === 'Given param is not a supported tool action') {
    this.router.transitionTo('vault.cluster.tools');
  } else {
    throw e;
  }
}

When it happens

Trigger: Navigating to /ui/vault/tools/<action> where <action> is not one of wrap|lookup|unwrap|rewrap|random|hash — a typo, an outdated link, or a tool removed/renamed across versions.

Common situations: Bookmarked or shared links to tool sub-pages that no longer match the supported list; users hand-editing the URL; documentation written for a different Vault version.
