Tool	Type	What it does
`unkey_liveness`	read	Check API health Check that the Unkey API is reachable and the root key works. The only GET in the v2 surface. Unkey: GET /v2/liveness.
`unkey_get_key`	read	Get one key by id Fetch a key's metadata by its key id — name, owner, permissions, credits, rate limits and whether it is enabled. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/keys.getKey.
`unkey_whoami_key`	read	Look up a key by its secret Given a plaintext API key, return which key it is and its metadata — without spending credits or recording a verification. This is the safe way to identify a key a customer sent you. Unkey: POST /v2/keys.whoami.
`unkey_get_api`	read	Get one API Fetch an API namespace by id. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/apis.getApi.
`unkey_list_api_keys`	read	List the keys of an API List every key issued under one API, optionally narrowed to a single customer by externalId. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/apis.listKeys.
`unkey_list_identities`	read	List identities List identities — the end users or organisations your keys belong to. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/identities.listIdentities.
`unkey_get_identity`	read	Get one identity Fetch a single identity with its metadata and shared rate limits. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/identities.getIdentity.
`unkey_list_permissions`	read	List permissions List the permissions defined in the workspace. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/permissions.listPermissions.
`unkey_list_roles`	read	List roles List the roles defined in the workspace. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/permissions.listRoles.
`unkey_list_ratelimit_overrides`	read	List rate-limit overrides List the per-identifier overrides in one rate-limit namespace. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/ratelimit.listOverrides.
`unkey_get_ratelimit_override`	read	Get one rate-limit override Fetch the override for one identifier in a namespace. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/ratelimit.getOverride.
`unkey_query_verification_analytics`	read	Query key-verification analytics Run a read-only SQL query over key-verification analytics. The query must use one of the public aliases: key_verifications_v1, key_verifications_per_minute_v1, key_verifications_per_hour_v1, key_verifications_per_day_v1 or key_verifications_per_month_v1. Physical default.* table names are rejected, and results are scoped to your workspace. Unkey: POST /v2/analytics.getVerifications.
`unkey_create_api`	write	Create an API Create a new API namespace to issue keys under. Unkey: POST /v2/apis.createApi.
`unkey_create_key`	write	Create an API key Issue a new API key under an API. The plaintext key is returned ONCE in the response and cannot be retrieved later unless recoverable is set. Unkey: POST /v2/keys.createKey.
`unkey_update_key`	write	Update a key Change a key's name, owner, metadata, expiry, roles, permissions or enabled state. Unkey: POST /v2/keys.updateKey.
`unkey_update_key_credits`	write	Update a key's credits Set, increment or decrement a key's remaining credits. Use set with no value for unlimited. Unkey: POST /v2/keys.updateCredits.
`unkey_delete_key`	write	Delete a key Revoke a key. By default this is a soft delete the key stops working but stays queryable; pass permanent to erase it. Unkey: POST /v2/keys.deleteKey.
`unkey_create_identity`	write	Create an identity Create an identity — an end user or organisation that keys and shared rate limits attach to. Unkey: POST /v2/identities.createIdentity.
`unkey_set_ratelimit_override`	write	Set a rate-limit override Set a custom rate limit for one identifier in a namespace — how you raise or lower a single customer's limit. Unkey: POST /v2/ratelimit.setOverride.
