description: >-
  Meta uses OAuth 2.0 "permissions" as its scope surface (Facebook Login /
  Graph API). The baseline (public_profile) was derived from
  openapi/meta-openapi.yml; the remaining entries are the canonical documented
  permissions from the Meta Permissions Reference
  (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/permissions). Most permissions require
  App Review before use in Production. This is a representative subset across
  the major products, not the full registry.
