description: >-
  Authentication profile for the Dyno Phi Protein Design API. Derived from the
  provider's OpenAPI 3.1.0 document, its first-party CLI source
  (github.com/dynotx/phi-cli), and a live unauthenticated probe of the API.
  IMPORTANT: the spec declares NO components.securitySchemes and no top-level
  security[] block — the API key is modelled as an ordinary optional header
  PARAMETER on every operation. The real, enforced mechanism was confirmed by
  probing the live API.
summary:
  types: [apiKey, http-bearer, oidc-session]
  api_key_in: [header]
  oauth2_flows: []
  spec_declares_security_schemes: false
  enforced: true
schemes:
- name: x-api-key
  type: apiKey
  in: header
  parameter: x-api-key
  required: true
  key_prefix: ak_
  source: live probe + github.com/dynotx/phi-cli/src/phi/api.py
  evidence: >-
    GET https://api.dyno-agents.app/v1/phi/jobs/ with no credentials returns
    HTTP 401 {"detail":"Missing API key. Provide an x-api-key header."}. The
    first-party CLI sends the header as `x-api-key` on every request.
  note: >-
    Declared in the OpenAPI only as an optional header parameter
    (`required: false`) on all 80 operations, which understates the contract —
    the header is in fact mandatory.
- name: Authorization Bearer
  type: http
  scheme: bearer
  source: openapi info.description
  evidence: >-
    "All endpoints require an API key supplied as `Authorization: Bearer <key>`
    or a Clerk session token."
  note: >-
    Documented in the spec description but contradicted by the live 401, which
    names only x-api-key. Treat x-api-key as authoritative; Bearer may be an
    accepted alternate. Not independently confirmed.
- name: Clerk session token
  type: openIdConnect
  provider: Clerk
  source: https://design.dynotx.com/open-source
  evidence: >-
    The open-source notice lists Clerk (commercial licence) in the platform
    stack; the OpenAPI description states organisation ID is derived
    automatically from Clerk tokens. Used by the design.dynotx.com dashboard.
  discovery: none
  note: >-
    No /.well-known/openid-configuration is served on any Dyno host, so the
    issuer is not machine-discoverable. See well-known/dyno-well-known.yml.
tenancy_headers:
- name: X-Organization-ID
  required_when: static API key callers
  source: openapi info.description
  note: "\"Organisation ID is derived automatically from Clerk tokens; static-key callers must include X-Organization-ID.\""
- name: X-User-ID
  required: false

  rotation_policy: not published
  expiry_policy: not published
  scoping: not published (no scopes/permissions surface)
gaps_to_report_upstream:
- >-
  No components.securitySchemes in the OpenAPI — every generated client and
  every agent reading the spec will treat auth as optional. Adding an apiKey
  scheme named x-api-key plus a top-level security requirement is a one-line fix.
- >-
  The spec description documents an `Authorization: Bearer` scheme but the
  server answers with an x-api-key challenge; the two disagree.
- No 401 or 403 response is declared on any of the 80 operations.
