Mint a key bound to this organization’s sandbox partition. The plaintext is returned exactly once and is unrecoverable afterwards: only its SHA-256 hash is stored. That is the same contract as POST /v1/keys, which this route reuses rather than reimplementing. Scopes are fixed at read and write and are not caller-selectable: a test key must never be able to mint keys, provision subjects or erase real data. The sandbox partition is provisioned on first mint, and the key is minted as exo_sandbox_... so it is recognisable on sight. Deliberately not replayable: a retried Idempotency-Key mints a fresh key instead of replaying the first response. Persisting a live credential in the replay store to save one key is the wrong trade.

Authorization

This route requires the admin scope. A missing or invalid credential returns 401 authentication_error. A valid credential without the scope returns 403 permission_denied, and the problem body names the exact scope required.

Headers

These are request conventions the contract does not declare as parameters, so they do not appear in the schema tables below.

Header	Applies	What it does
`X-Exo-API-Key`	Required	Your Exo API key, `exo_<env>_<token>`. `Authorization: Bearer exo_...` is accepted as an alternate.
`X-Exo-Subject`	Not applicable	This route is not subject-scoped.
`Idempotency-Key`	Not honoured	This route does not replay: a retry mints a fresh key rather than replaying the first response, because persisting a live credential in the replay store would undo the hash-only-at-rest design of the key store.
`X-Request-Id`	Response	Returned on every response, including `204`s. Quote it in a support request.

Success responses

Status	Meaning
`201`	Key minted; apiKey is shown once

Errors

Status	Code	When
`400`	`invalid_request`	Malformed request, for example an invalid cursor.
`401`	`authentication_error`	Missing or invalid credentials.
`403`	`permission_denied`	Missing scope, or an unprovisioned subject selector.
`404`	`not_found`	The resource does not exist, or is not visible to this caller.
`409`	`conflict`	A conflict with the current state of the resource.
`422`	`validation_error`	The request was understood but failed field validation.
`429`	`rate_limit_exceeded`	Rate limit exceeded. Retry after the Retry-After interval.
`503`	`service_degraded`	A dependency is temporarily unavailable. Safe to retry.

Every error is an RFC 9457 application/problem+json body carrying a stable code, a requestId, and a suggestedAction where Exo has one. See Errors.

Notes

Sandbox keys are minted exo_sandbox_... so they are recognisable on sight, and their scopes are fixed at read and write.
A sandbox key cannot select out of its partition. Sending X-Exo-Subject with one is 403 permission_denied.
This route does not replay. A retried Idempotency-Key mints a fresh key rather than persisting a live credential in the replay store.
