Security

This section collects security guidance for external API access.

Core themes:

• resolve company scope from trusted API key metadata,
• store only token hashes,
• deny invalid, expired, revoked, or under-scoped requests,
• avoid logging raw tokens or sensitive payloads,
• separate internal API behavior from external API contracts.
