Connection Keys

Connection Keys are secret keys used to authenticate your AI Assistants with the Cheqpoint API. Every SDK call requires a valid key.

Managing Keys

Unlike traditional API keys that are global to a workspace, Cheqpoint Connection Keys are per AI Assistant. This allows you to set granular permissions, rate limits, and kill-switches for each AI Assistant.

Keys are managed directly in Dashboard → AI Assistants. When you create or edit an assistant, you can reveal and rotate its Connection Key.

Developer Page Reference

For quick reference, the Dashboard → Developer page shows a read-only view of all active Connection Keys in your workspace.

  • Keys are shown masked (e.g. cq_live_••••1234) for security.
  • You can copy the masked or full key to your clipboard from this view.
  • To rotate or revoke a key, use the "Manage AI Assistants" link to jump to the full configuration.

Security Tip: Never share your Connection Keys. If a key is compromised, rotate it immediately in the AI Assistants dashboard to revoke access.
