description: >-
  Cadasto has an environment model but not a sandbox in the self-service sense. There is no
  public test tenant, no test-mode key prefix, no hosted playground, no fixture or trigger
  tooling and no time-simulation facility. What exists is three separately-credentialed
  deployment environments and a human-provisioned free trial.

  Verbatim from the docs FAQ: "Per-environment isolation. Credentials for development,
  acceptation, and production are separate. Treat each set independently."

    description: >-
      Returns a fully populated example COMPOSITION generated from an uploaded template. The
      Quick Start recommends it as the starting point before committing real data. This is the
      closest thing Cadasto publishes to a fixture generator, and it works against a real tenant
      rather than a sandbox.

  note: >-
    An integrator can exercise the openEHR REST semantics without a Cadasto tenant: Cadasto's own
    Go SDK repository ships an EHRbase docker-compose and .env.ehrbase configuration, and its
    retired MCP server documented running against a local EHRbase. That is a third-party openEHR
    server (vitasystems EHRbase), not a Cadasto sandbox, and it will not exercise the
    Cadasto-specific Datamap, Episode or user endpoints.
  evidence:
  - https://github.com/Cadasto/openehr-sdk-go (docker-compose.yml, resources/ehrbase/*.openapi.yaml)
  - https://github.com/Cadasto/openehr-server-mcp (.env.ehrbase)
gaps:
  - No public sandbox tenant or demo credentials.
  - No test/live key distinction — one credential set per environment, all real.
  - No hosted API console; the Scalar docs render request builders but there is no key to run them with.
