schemes:
- type: http-bearer
  name: Google session bearer
  evidence: POST /v1/ask — the Ask agent API (a Google session bearer also works; that is what the browser uses).
  location: header
  header: Authorization
  how_to_obtain: Signed in to the Chord app with Google; the app mints a short bearer (nts_…) for its own surfaces.
note: No OAuth2 flows, JWT, HMAC, MTLS, or other schemes are documented. 1 extracted row(s) were dropped because their quote was not on the page.
