Every API key carries a set of scopes. A key can only ever be minted with a subset of the scopes its creator holds, so you can build least-privilege keys for automations.

Runtime scopes

Self-service scopes

Customer keys without an explicit scope list get the everyday set:
Mint a narrower key by passing scopes when creating it:
Admin scopes (admin:*) are only ever granted on internal tokens, never on customer keys.

Checking your scopes

GET /v1/me returns the scopes on the calling key. A call that needs a scope you don’t hold returns 403 with a problem body naming the missing scope.
