      The Braintrust REST API provides programmatic access to projects,
      experiments, datasets, prompts, functions, logs, and organization
      resources. It supports both US (api.braintrust.dev) and EU
      (api-eu.braintrust.dev) data planes, and is used to log production
      traces, run evaluations, manage prompt versions, and orchestrate
      scoring functions.
