OPENEMIS_TIMEOUT_MS (Request timeout in milliseconds (default 30000)), OPENEMIS_LOG_VERBOSE (Set to 1 to log every tool call and result as JSONL. OFF by default. Results contain tenant PII — enable only on instances you own), OPENEMIS_LOG_FILE (Path to write verbose JSONL log. If empty and OPENEMIS_LOG_VERBOSE=1, logs go to stderr).
