Hitting a limit returns `429` with `rate_limited` or `too_many_jobs`. Wait and retry; the message says
how long. Need more? Email [peter@hellofaro.io](mailto:peter@hellofaro.io).

## API keys

- Keys look like `ss_live_…`. Only a hash is stored, so a key can never be shown again, by us or anyone.
- Every key is approved by a person before it works. Until then it returns `403 key_pending_approval`.
- **Agent keys** do everything except approve posts. **Admin keys** can also approve. Put only agent keys
  in agent and MCP configuration.
- Treat keys like passwords: keep them out of code repositories, front-end code and screenshots.
- Lost or leaked a key? Email [peter@hellofaro.io](mailto:peter@hellofaro.io) to revoke it and get a new one.

## Your footage

- Files you upload, and everything Second Studio makes for you, stay in your account until you delete
  them with `DELETE /v1/assets/{id}`. Download links are long, unguessable URLs; anyone who has a link
  can open that file, so share them deliberately.
- Each job works in its own temporary directory on an isolated worker, deleted when the job ends.
- A **style** stores numbers and descriptions, never the reference's pictures or sound. Deleting the
  reference does not affect the style.
- With semantic analysis on, a reduced-resolution copy of a video is sent, for that request only, to a
  vision model provider through OpenRouter. Turn it off per request with `semantic: false`.
- Posts go through our social publishing provider to the platforms you connect.

## Responsible use

- Analyze and fetch only videos you have the right to use as a reference. Platform terms restrict
  downloading; uploading a reference you already have is always preferred.
- Record only sites you own or have permission to film.
- Edits use only your footage and music. Do not upload material you do not have the rights to publish.
