    description: >-
      The Tanzu Service Mesh REST API provides programmatic access to manage
      clusters, global namespaces, resource groups, and service mesh policies.
      Authentication uses a CSP API token exchanged for a short-lived Bearer
      token. The API version is embedded in the URL path (e.g. /v1alpha1/).
