### BC-1114-1: Partner Connect application keys grant access to AI models only

> Old format supported until: not provided

**Before**

A partner application key issued through Partner Connect with the `vibe:ai` scope could both call models and manage external model keys through `/v1/ai/providers`, `/v1/ai/credentials` and `/v1/ai/credentials/*`.

**After**

These routes return `403 INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE` for such a key. This refusal has no `error.cause` or other scope refusal fields. Model calls with the same key continue to work as before.

**What integrators should do**

Remove calls to external model key management routes from Partner Connect applications. Changing scopes or asking the user to consent again does not lift this restriction. See [Partner Connect](/docs/partner-connect#using-the-api-key).
