What is API Key?
An AGNT API key is a credential of the form agnt_live_[32-char-hash], stored as SHA-256 inside AGNT, used to authenticate every Open Network request against a tier and a daily quota.
Keys are issued from the developer dashboard. Only the SHA-256 hash and a short visible key_prefix are stored on the server — the raw key is shown exactly once at creation and cannot be recovered. Each key carries a tier (free or pro), a scope list, and a rolling daily quota that resets at midnight UTC.
