  publishes no OpenAPI. This profile is searched from the documented auth reference

    Simplified path for no-code/low-code tools (OpenAI Agent Builder, Zapier, Make,
    n8n) that cannot perform an OAuth flow. The gateway performs the token exchange
    on the caller's behalf. Vendia explicitly recommends OAuth over this method.
