  OAuth 2.0 scopes for the Google Drive API v3. The captured OpenAPI does not
  declare securitySchemes, so the derive pass yields nothing; these scopes were
  read from Google's Drive API-specific authorization reference and grouped by
  Google's sensitivity tier (non-sensitive / sensitive / restricted). Restricted
  scopes require a Google security assessment before production use. Authorization
  server: accounts.google.com (see well-known/google-drive-openid-configuration.json).
