What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

• unkey_liveness

  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

  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

  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

  Fetch an API namespace by id. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/apis.getApi.

• unkey_list_api_keys

  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

  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

  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

  List the permissions defined in the workspace. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/permissions.listPermissions.

• unkey_list_roles

  List the roles defined in the workspace. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/permissions.listRoles.

• unkey_list_ratelimit_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

  Fetch the override for one identifier in a namespace. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/ratelimit.getOverride.

• unkey_query_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

• unkey_create_api

  Create a new API namespace to issue keys under. Unkey: POST /v2/apis.createApi.

• unkey_create_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

  Change a key's name, owner, metadata, expiry, roles, permissions or enabled state. Unkey: POST /v2/keys.updateKey.

• unkey_update_key_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

  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

  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

  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.
