Send a bearer token on every request: 
Authorization: Bearer <token>
Workspace-scoped key from settings, ideal for CI and services. The same key is exposed to sandboxes as DENCH_API_KEY.
curl -sS https://www.dench.com/api/v1/status \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DENCH_API_KEY"
Authentication is wired into the API Reference playground, enter your token once and every “Try it” request uses it.

​
Run attribution

When an API-key caller acts from inside a running agent turn, include the run id so Dench attributes the action to the right user: 
x-dench-run-id: <run_id>
Local session commands (dench sessions, dench use, dench logout, dench backend, dench fs) stay on the CLI, they change the caller’s machine and have no server endpoint.
