Start with your own account
Open the API-key section of your MandAPI dashboard. This recipe reviews keys you control. It does not assume that user groups provide an organization, shared wallet or team permission system.
Use one key per application or environment where practical. A recognizable label makes an incident easier to investigate than a list of unnamed keys.
Build a small inventory
Record the information available in the dashboard and your deployment inventory:
| Field | What to record |
|---|---|
| Label | Application and environment |
| Owner | Person responsible for replacing it |
| Location | Secret-store entry or deployment name |
| Purpose | Chat, testing or another verified use |
| Restrictions | Actual limits and expiry you configured |
| Last confirmed use | Your own deployment or request evidence |
| Action | Keep, investigate or revoke |
Never put the complete key in this inventory. You usually need its label and the secret-store reference, not the credential value. If the dashboard does not show a field, mark it unknown rather than guessing.
Review access and limits
Compare the inventory with running applications. A stopped demo, deleted deployment or former integration may no longer need its key. Investigate first so you do not interrupt an application that still uses it.
Where your key settings provide model restrictions, credit limits or expiry, configure the settings appropriate to that application's purpose. Confirm what is actually saved. Do not assume that a label or a limited application UI enforces a backend restriction.
A suspected exposure needs rotation, not merely a nicer label. Create a replacement key, update the application, verify its connection and revoke the old key.
Check the result
Every retained key should have a known purpose and replacement owner. Each unused key should have an explicit decision. Check the account after a change to confirm that the intended key was revoked or restricted.
Repeat the review after changing deployments, adding a new application or discovering a leak. This is an account-maintenance checklist, not a claim that MandAPI automatically audits keys or supplies an organization-wide audit API.
