  Grafana Loki itself has no OAuth surface. Two scope vocabularies govern access to Loki data: the
  OAuth 2.1 scopes published by the hosted Grafana Cloud MCP server (read anonymously from its
  RFC 8414 authorization-server metadata), and the Grafana Cloud / Grafana Enterprise Logs access
  policy scopes named in the Loki HTTP API reference for the logs surface.
