tags:
  - description: >-
      API keys authenticate programmatic access to the workspace. They expose
      opaque tokens, per-domain access grants, and budget and rate-limit
      constraints.
    name: API keys
  - name: Logs
    description: >-
      OpenTelemetry log query API. Search, filter, aggregate, and facet log
      records ingested via OTLP.
  - name: Reporting
    description: >-
      GenAI reporting API over canonical analytics rollups. Accepts a metric
      name, time range, grain, group-by, and filters; returns a typed time
      series and optional totals.
  - name: Telemetry
    description: >-
      Unified query envelope for traces, metrics, and logs. One request shape,
      one filter dialect, and one response shape per source, validated by a
      per-source registry.
  - name: Traces
    description: >-
      Query and inspect ingested trace data: search trace summaries, aggregate
      metrics, and read individual traces and their spans.
  - name: Views
    description: Saved filters and columns for workspace observability pages.
  - description: List models available through the AI Router.
    name: Models
  - name: Alerts
    description: >-
      Alerts evaluate a telemetry metric on a fixed interval and fire
      notifications through notifiers when the value breaches a threshold. Each
      breach opens a trigger that tracks the incident until the value recovers.
  - name: Annotation Queues
    description: Annotation queues collect spans for human review.
  - name: Budgets
    description: >-
      Budgets govern spend, token usage, and request rate across six scopes:
      workspace, project, identity, API key, provider, and model. Every
      applicable budget is enforced, and the most restrictive limit applies per
      dimension.
  - name: Files
    description: File upload and retrieval operations.
  - name: Guardrail Rules
    description: >-
      Guardrail Rules conditionally enforce evaluators and plugins for AI
      Gateway traffic. Rules may be scoped to a project or the whole workspace.
  - name: Identities
    description: >-
      Identities represent end users from your system for usage and engagement
      tracking.
  - name: Management keys
    description: >-
      Management keys are workspace-scoped credentials that authenticate
      programmatic access to workspace administration surfaces (API keys,
      budgets). Unlike project-scoped API keys, a management key always operates
      at the workspace level.
  - name: MCP Gateway
    description: >-
      Register upstream MCP servers, discover and sync their tools, and assemble
      gateways that expose a curated tool surface to MCP clients.
  - name: Model Catalog
    description: >-
      Browse the Toqan Router model catalog: every model Toqan Router offers,
      across every provider, with pricing, capabilities and benchmark data. List
      endpoints only return models that are not deprecated. This API is public,
      requires no authentication, and is rate limited to 120 requests per minute
      per IP. Responses carry a 5-minute cache-control max-age.
  - name: Monitors
    description: >-
      Monitors are custom observability dashboards for traces, runtime metrics,
      and logs. Each monitor holds widgets that chart one telemetry query. List
      the metrics, operations, and dimensions available to your workspace with
      `GET /v3/telemetry/capabilities`, or start from a preset with `GET
      /v2/monitors/presets`.
  - name: Notifiers
    description: Notifier destinations used to send delivery and workflow notifications.
  - name: Routing Rules
    description: >-
      Routing Rules conditionally select models and enforce request plugins for
      AI Gateway traffic. Rules are evaluated by ascending priority and may be
      scoped to a project or the whole workspace.
  - name: Threads
    description: Threads group related trace invocations and their aggregate usage
  - name: Smart Routers
    description: >-
      Create and manage workspace Smart Routers. A Smart Router selects a model
      from an eligible pool for each request according to a quality, balanced,
      or cost profile.
