Team API key fails on cx olly ask: Permission denied despite correct scope

What this fixes

With cx CLI v0.1.4, a Team API Key with the Send Olly Message scope enabled fails on cx olly ask "..." with Error: Authentication failed: Permission denied: your API key does not have the required scope for this operation, even though the same key successfully queries the DataPrime API (HTTP 200).

The fix

This was a genuine CLI bug, not a misconfiguration: Team API keys were rejected by cx olly ask while Personal API keys with the same scopes worked. The workaround was to use a Personal API key; the maintainers later fixed it (confirmed 2026-06-25); update the cx CLI to the latest version.

Why it happens

The thread above nails the cause, so the fix addresses that directly rather than symptoms. Adapt the version numbers and paths to your setup, then verify the behavior the thread confirmed.
