source: openapi/ has no spec — derived from the provider's own published documentation

notes: >-
  No OpenAPI document is publicly reachable, so this profile is read from Red Canary's
  public REST API documentation and from its own first-party Python client
  (https://github.com/redcanaryco/openapi), not from a securitySchemes block.

  description: >-
    Per-user API authentication token. Generated from the Red Canary portal under the
    user profile -> Security Settings -> "Generate API Authentication Token". The token
    inherits the roles/permissions of the user who created it, so API authorization is
    role-based rather than scope-based.

token_management:
  scope: per-user
  rotation: >-
    Generating a new token revokes any existing token for that user. Red Canary advises
    periodic rotation.
  docs: https://docs.redcanary.com/docs/rest-api-faq
  revocation: implicit on regeneration
tenancy:
  model: subdomain
  host_template: https://<subdomain>.my.redcanary.co/openapi/v3/
  note: >-
    Every API call is bound to the customer's own portal subdomain; there is no shared
    global API host. https://go.my.redcanary.co/ is the subdomain selector / login gate.
portal_authentication:
  note: >-
    Human access to the portal (where the Swagger reference lives) is separate from API
    token auth and supports SAML SSO and MFA.

oauth:
  present: false
  note: >-
    The REST API declares no OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect surface. No
    /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server or /.well-known/openid-configuration is
    served on any Red Canary host (all 404; see well-known/red-canary-well-known.yml).
    scopes/ is therefore intentionally absent.
