  oauth2_flows: []
  note: Tricentis authenticates every REST product with a header-carried credential and declares
    none of them as oauth2 in the specs, even where an OAuth token endpoint exists. qTest issues
    a bearer token from POST /oauth/token but models it as an apiKey header named Authorization.
    The only true OAuth surface is the Tosca Cloud identity service used by the Tosca Cloud MCP
    server and toscactl - see scopes/tricentis-scopes.yml.
