test_live_separation: false
note: >-
  Foxglove publishes NO sandbox in the payments sense: there is no test-vs-live key
  prefix (every key is `fox_sk_`), no test mode, no magic test identifiers, no test
  clock, and no fixture/trigger tooling. What it does publish is a free-forever tier
  and a public example-data gallery, which together are the trial surface a developer
  actually uses before paying. Recorded honestly rather than dressed up as a sandbox.
surfaces:
- name: Example gallery
  url: https://foxglove.dev/examples
  http_status: 200
  description: >-
    Public datasets spanning autonomous vehicles, drones and robot arms, with
    prebuilt layouts and 3D scenes, browsable without writing code. Also reachable
    in-app from the command palette via "Getting started" > "Explore examples".
  docs: https://docs.foxglove.dev/docs/getting-started/explore-examples
- name: Free plan
  url: https://foxglove.dev/pricing
  description: >-
    Free forever — 3 users, 10 GB storage, 5 devices, 1 project, 100 GB indexing and
    bandwidth. Full REST API, CLI and SDK access; the local MCP server is the one
    surface that requires a paid tier.
  see: plans/foxglove-technologies-plans-pricing.yml
- name: Web console
  url: https://app.foxglove.dev/
  description: >-
    Where an organization admin creates and manages API keys and their capabilities
    (Settings > API keys), and where devices, recordings, sessions and events are
    managed by hand.

test_values: []
test_clock: false
fixtures: false
gaps:
- No test/sandbox mode or separate test credentials, so any integration exercise
  writes to a real organization's data.
- No published mock server or hosted try-it console that executes requests.
