use_key_link

Enter API keys in STOQ, not through the API

Code: use_key_link · HTTP status: usually 422

Through an assistant or MCP, a third-party API key would pass through a model, so STOQ refuses it and returns the dashboard link where the merchant enters it.

How to fix

Show key_url to the merchant. Don’t ask for the key.
