This API is not enabled by default—it requires separate activation.
Request that your account team enable the Compliance API for your organization. Then, log in with administrator privileges and issue an Admin API Key. Only this key can be used to retrieve audit logs.

Admin / System Activity

  • User added / removed
  • API key created
  • Permission changes
  • Workspace settings changes
In other words: logs for “access / permissions / settings changes”.

(2) Resource Activity

  • File created / deleted
  • Downloaded
  • Skill changed
In other words: “data-related actions” logs.

Not included

  • Prompts
  • Model responses
  • Inference contents
In other words: you cannot audit the actual LLM usage content itself.
