# Developer Platform Administration

> Operate Starfire AI API keys, applications, webhooks, developer usage, quotas, logs, failures, and abuse signals from Control Center.

# 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.

<Warning>
  Do not solve an API abuse problem by sharing, inspecting, or copying credential secrets. Revoke or restrict the credential through the platform controls designed for that purpose.
</Warning>
