HatiData provides a fine-grained API key system designed for AI agent environments. Each agent gets its own key with specific capabilities, scopes, and resource limits -- enabling per-agent billing, audit attribution, and policy enforcement.
API keys provide programmatic access to HatiData. Keys are scoped to environments, hashed with Argon2id before storage, and support automatic rotation with a grace period.
HatiData supports three authentication methods, each suited to different access patterns. All authentication is enforced at the control plane middleware layer before any request reaches business logic.
