Developer Platform administration

Control Center provides the platform-operator view of developer activity while the normal Developer Portal remains available to application developers without platform-admin access.

​

Operational dashboard

A Developer Platform dashboard can expose measures such as:

• active API keys
• requests today
• active developer accounts
• applications
• webhook endpoints
• webhook delivery failures
• research API runs
• FORGE/build API runs
• top endpoints
• top models
• rate-limit events
• error trends
• abuse signals

​

Credential administration

Authorized operators can investigate or take actions such as:

• revoke a compromised or abusive API credential
• disable developer access for an account when policy allows
• change approved quota overrides
• inspect credential ownership
• review application context

Credential secrets themselves should not become routine administrator-visible data.

​

Request investigation

Use request IDs to connect a developer-reported failure with server-side operational metadata. Useful metadata can include:

• endpoint family
• status
• latency
• application/credential identity
• model or workload
• credits
• related run/build ID
• error category

Avoid collecting sensitive request bodies unless a narrowly scoped diagnostic workflow actually requires them.

​

Webhook health

Operators can inspect delivery failure rate, retry state, endpoint health, and event volume without needing to modify the customer’s receiving application.

​

Quotas

Developer limits can be driven by plan defaults plus explicit administrative overrides. Quota changes should be narrow, time-aware where appropriate, and auditable.

​

Billing relationship

Developer API usage participates in Starfire’s broader metering system, allowing Control Center to compare web usage with API usage inside the same billing account or organization.

​

Abuse and platform protection

API rate limits, credential revocation, organization policy, and security monitoring provide several ways to contain problematic developer activity without shutting down unrelated user-facing access.
