description: >-
The Kolide K2 API provides read (and, for Kolide Max subscribers, write) access to
device trust data — devices, people, groups, security checks, compliance issues,
live osquery campaigns, exemption and registration requests, reporting tables and
audit/auth logs. Authentication is a bearer API key (k2sk_v1_ prefix). Requests are
pinned to a dated version line with the X-Kolide-Api-Version header.

Document the API key format, provisioning path and the Kolide Max write-permission
gate, none of which the published spec records.
update:
description: >-
Bearer API key created at Settings > Developers > API Keys. Format is
$PREFIX_$VERSION_$SECRET with the prefix k2sk (e.g. k2sk_v1_...). Read access is
available on all plans; write permissions require a Kolide Max subscription and
must be granted explicitly per key with a documented rationale.

Record the rate-limit contract, which is documented on the API overview page but
absent from the spec.

headers: [Retry-After, RateLimit-Limit, Ratelimit-Remaining, Ratelimit-Reset]

Record the cursor pagination contract shared by every list operation.
update:
x-pagination:
style: cursor
request: {per_page: {default: 25, minimum: 1, maximum: 100}, cursor: opaque}
response-object: pagination
response-fields: [next, next_cursor, current_cursor, count]

description: Record the documented search-query grammar used by the `query` parameter.
update:

operators:
':': exact match
'~': substring match
'>': greater than (datetime only)
'<': less than (datetime only)
combinators: [AND, OR]

Declare the event surface. Kolide ships webhooks and an OpenID SSF/CAEP stream but
publishes no AsyncAPI document; this points at the catalog we captured.

signing: HMAC-SHA256 hex digest in the Authorization header
catalog: ../asyncapi/kolide-events.yml
