    description: >-
      API keys authenticate programmatic access to the workspace. The unified
      key model exposes opaque tokens, per-domain access grants, and budget /
      rate-limit constraints (see ADR 0001 and ADR 0002).
  - name: Budgets
    description: >-
      Budgets govern spend, token usage, and request rate across six scopes:
      workspace, project, identity, api-key, provider, and model. A budget is
      hierarchical and defense-in-depth — every applicable budget is a hard
      gate, and the most restrictive one wins per dimension (see ADR 0007).

      Identities represent end users from your system for usage and engagement

      Skills are modular instructions you can use to codify processes and

      Run agents on a cadence — cron, interval, or one-off. Minimum firing
      interval is 1 hour.

    description: >-
      GenAI reporting API over canonical analytics rollups. Accepts a metric
      name, time range, grain, group-by, and filters; returns a typed time
      series and optional totals.

                    With workspace-level API keys, use the format
                    `project/folder/subfolder/...`. The first element identifies
                    the project, followed by nested folders (auto-created as
                    needed). Example: `Default/agents`.


                    With project-level API keys, the project is predetermined by
                    the API key, so the path is relative to that project.
                    Example: `agents`. For backward compatibility, a leading
                    project name is ignored when it matches the scoped project.
