scope_model:
  style: functional-area scopes granted at API client registration
  detail: Workday scopes are Functional Area scopes selected when the API client is registered in the tenant, not
    string scopes enumerated in the contract. Both production Benefits contracts declare an OAuth2 scheme whose
    scopes object is EMPTY, so no scope string can be read from the machine-readable contract - the scope that matters
    for this surface is the Benefits functional area plus the security domains it carries.
  contract_declared_scopes: 0
  note: 'The single scope "benefits" listed below is derived from the API Evangelist-authored scaffold specs in
    openapi/ (x-generated-from: documentation), NOT from a Workday-published scope reference. It is retained for
    continuity and is flagged here so it is not mistaken for a provider-published scope string.'
