    Single auth mechanism: a per-environment API key sent in the X-API-Key
    header. Create keys in the Tako Console (https://tako.com/console/api-keys).
    A key only authenticates on the host it was issued for. Anonymous calls to
    key-protected endpoints return 401 (AUTHENTICATION_ERROR). The three
    /beta/graph/* endpoints are public and unauthenticated.
