And or maybe that seem more like managing the
onion service ID itself too, rather than just authentication
for fetching or connecting to it.

Part of problem may be brain grouping of the underscores.

"onion" "client|service" "auth" "add|del|view"
"onion" "client|service auth" "add|del|view"
"onion client|service" "auth" "add|del|view"

Maybe your sense would be better...

"onion auth" for "client|service" do "add|del|view"

or if there's want to keep "onion" string as the MIB root...
"onion" re "auth" for "client|service" do "add|del|view"


Though seems mostly agreed on onion first and verb last,
so whatever works for people in the middle :)
