<OPENROUTER_PROVISIONING_KEY> (OpenRouter Provisioning API key — create at https://openrouter.ai/settings/provisioning. Distinct from inference keys: it can manage your account but cannot make completion calls).
The author’s registry entry marks it as required.
Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above:
OPENROUTER_ADMIN_ALLOW_WRITE (Set to '1' to enable destructive write tools (or_key_create, or_key_update, or_key_delete). Disabled by default — read-only tools (or_overview, or_credits, or_keys_list, or_key_get, or_activity, or_current_key) are always available).
