Send as `Authorization: Bearer `. Org API keys (`iak_*`) are **not** accepted here - they carry no user identity. Use the `x-prismeai-api-key` header instead (see `OrgApiKeyAuth`). OrgApiKeyAuth: type: apiKey in: header name: x-prismeai-api-key description: | Organization API key (`iak_{orgSlug}_{uuid}`). Unlike `Authorization: Bearer`, this credential is **not** tied to a user identity - it is bound to the org and its effective access is defined by the scopes / permission rules attached to it (it can be restricted to a single project, or kept broader). For Agent Factory, these keys can be generated directly from the Agent Factory UI (in addition to the AI Governance settings). Send as `x-prismeai-api-key: iak_...`. ````
