  description: >-
    The platform API host requires an Authorization header on every path, including the
    /.well-known/ surface. Unauthenticated requests return HTTP 401 with the JSON body
    {"detail":"Authorization header is missing"}. No public documentation, token-issuance
    endpoint or discovery document is published for this host.
  gated: true
  sources: [probe]
identity:
  provider: >-
    Patlytics' own identity provider (the connector page states sign-in is via "Patlytics'
    identity provider"). The public status page lists an "Auth0 User Authentication"
    component, indicating Auth0 backs end-user login for the customer dashboard.
  per_user: true
  org_scoped: true
  note: >-
    Each MCP client member signs in individually with their own Patlytics account and results
    are scoped to their organization; there is no shared service-account or API-key model
    published.
