AI Platform Setup

In product, the canonical page is now AI Platform -> Authentication. Setup is the previous label for the same guided auth flow.

The recommended first step is the in-product AI Platform Authentication page.

Use it to:

copy the current access token
provision or retrieve a runtime API key for setup verification plus stable backend read and inspection use
choose a runtime execution key when a trusted backend needs public skill execution
confirm the current organizationId
run the public setup verification check

Credential model

access token: short-lived Bearer token for interactive and access_token_only routes
runtime setup/read API key: org-scoped Bearer token for setup verification and stable allowlisted read/inspection routes
runtime execution API key: org-scoped Bearer token for trusted backend public skill execution, generated-image jobs, and run inspection
authoring API key: expiring org-scoped Bearer token for stateless CI/apply authoring flows
setup verification works with an access token even when key inventory is restricted
listing keys and presets requires settings.read; creating, rotating, and revoking keys requires settings.update
setup/read keys use runtime_default; backend execution keys use runtime_execution
runtime execution keys are the supported path for trusted backend public skill execution
