yes, docs and some more improvements are on my todo list.

because with the ACL changes (allowing a user to define arbitrary ACLs 
for their tokens) it's not really needed. I can just give Admin on '/' 
with propagation for the same effect. and also because I think it's 
better to make users think about which permissions to give a certain 
token (e.g., most tokens will probably just have Datastore.Backup on one 
datastore, which is something I'd like to put somewhere on the Datastore 
GUI as a two-step 'Create client token' thing) then nudging them into 
'just tick this and everything works (but is not much better than just 
storing your username + password everywhere)'.
