The metadata is readable keyless and names one authorization server under auth.atlassian.com with a path segment, and 34 scopes of which 28 end in :agent-interface, mostly one read/write pair per product (Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, Loom, Rovo and others). That server advertises dynamic registration, public clients (auth method none), PKCE S256, pushed authorization requests, client-id metadata documents, and six grant types including client_credentials and token-exchange. A keyless GET on the platform REST API answers 401. Same shape as the 2026-09-15 measurement in the entry's notes; the scope count and the grant list are recorded here for the first time. Nothing here measures what either server does with a credential.",
