  description: Cato API key (token) generated in the Cato Management Application (CMA)
    under API management. Every GraphQL request must include the key in the x-api-key
    header along with an accountID argument identifying the target account.

docs: https://api.catonetworks.com/documentation/
account_scope: Requests are bound to a Cato account via an accountID variable; the
  API key is generated per account/admin and can be scoped by admin role and API
  permissions in the CMA.
notes: No OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect surface. Authentication is a single API key
  header (x-api-key); there is no scopes artifact because the API does not expose
  OAuth scopes (permissions are governed by CMA admin roles).
