labels: optional map[string]

Arbitrary key-value pairs for categorization and filtering Examples: {"environment": "production", "team": "platform", "version": "v2"}

spec: APIKeySpec { token, description }

APIKeySpec contains the API Key-specific fields

token: optional string

APIKey = object { metadata, spec, info }

APIKey represents a workspace-scoped API key. Each API key belongs to exactly one workspace, ensuring workspace isolation. Authentication is handled via Cadenya-issued JWTs signed with the key's own signing secret.

metadata: ResourceMetadata { id, accountId, createdAt, 5 more }

Standard metadata for persistent, named resources (e.g., agents, tools, prompts)

id: string

Unique identifier for the resource (prefixed ULID, e.g., "agent_01HXK...")

accountId: string

Account this resource belongs to for multi-tenant isolation (prefixed ULID)

createdAt: string

Timestamp when this resource was created

formatdate-time

Human-readable name for the resource (e.g., "Customer Support Agent", "Email Tool") Required for resources that users interact with directly

profileId: string

ID of the actor (user or service account) that created this resource

workspaceId: string

Workspace this resource belongs to for organizational grouping (prefixed ULID)

externalId: optional string

External ID for the resource (e.g., a workflow ID from an external system)

labels: optional map[string]

Arbitrary key-value pairs for categorization and filtering Examples: {"environment": "production", "team": "platform", "version": "v2"}

spec: APIKeySpec { token, description }

APIKeySpec contains the API Key-specific fields

token: optional string

The actual token value (only returned on creation and rotation, read-only)

description: optional string

Description of what this API Key is used for

info: optional APIKeyInfo { createdBy }

createdBy: optional Profile { metadata, spec }

Profile represents a human user at the account level. Profiles are account-scoped resources that can be associated with multiple workspaces through the Actor model. Authentication for profiles is handled via SSO/OAuth (WorkOS).

metadata: AccountResourceMetadata { id, accountId, name, 3 more }

AccountResourceMetadata is used to represent a resource that is associated to an account but not to a workspace.

id: string

Unique identifier for the resource (prefixed ULID, e.g., "apikey_01HXK...")

accountId: string

Account this resource belongs to for multi-tenant isolation (prefixed ULID)

Human-readable name for the resource (e.g., "Customer Support Agent", "Email Tool") Required for resources that users interact with directly

profileId: string

externalId: optional string

External ID for the resource (e.g., a workflow ID from an external system)

labels: optional map[string]

Arbitrary key-value pairs for categorization and filtering Examples: {"environment": "production", "team": "platform", "version": "v2"}

spec: ProfileSpec { type, email, name }

ProfileSpec contains the profile-specific fields

type: "PROFILE_TYPE_USER" or "PROFILE_TYPE_API_KEY" or "PROFILE_TYPE_SYSTEM"

Type is the type of profile. User's are humans, API keys are computers. You know the deal.

formatenum

One of the following:

"PROFILE_TYPE_USER"

"PROFILE_TYPE_API_KEY"

"PROFILE_TYPE_SYSTEM"

email: optional string

Email address of the user (required, unique per account)
