name: Daytona Vocabulary
description: >-
  Controlled vocabulary for the Daytona AI sandbox platform. Captures the operational, capability, and resource
  dimensions that recur across the Daytona control-plane API and the in-sandbox Toolbox API, suitable for use as
  tag taxonomies, faceted search keys, and capability mapping in the API Evangelist Network.
