If it's your software generating the tokens, then that means they'd need the shared key, or private key in order to sign the token... which is already a problem. Now if you're accepting tokens from a third party, that's another issue, and should be much more constrained.

I go farther still and require a VERY short expiration on service to service requests (documented as 1m, coded as 2m) which combined with https limits the chance of replay attacks.
