  description: >-
    The Martian Gateway API uses API keys with bearer token authentication.
    Include the API key in the Authorization header of every request. Keys are
    created and managed in the Martian Dashboard (app.withmartian.com) under the
    API Keys section.

key_management:
  dashboard: https://app.withmartian.com/
  create: Sign up or log in, navigate to API Keys, create or copy a key.
  rotation: Rotate keys periodically and immediately if compromised; revoke and
    regenerate in the Dashboard.
guidance:
- Never commit API keys to version control or expose them in client-side code.
- Store keys in environment variables or a secrets manager (MARTIAN_API_KEY).
- Monitor usage in the Martian Dashboard to detect unauthorized access.
notes: >-
  No OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect surface is documented; authentication is
  API-key-only. When using the official OpenAI or Anthropic SDKs the key is
  supplied as the SDK api_key with base_url set to https://api.withmartian.com/v1.
