[Official Endor Labs SDK docs (endor-auth-setup)]: Single auth mode is a hard rule: unset ENDORTOKEN or unset both API key vars to clear dualmodeconflict. Probe with endor-auth check --tenant [namespace] (exit 0 when ready). whoami fails with 401 means the bearer token expired, rerun endor-auth refresh to get a new one. 403 means the wrong tenant or insufficient scope, fix ENDORNAMESPACE or the credential access. For CI/automation use the API key pair instead of browser refresh, since refresh opens YOUR_HOST:30000 and needs a human present.

Context: Official docs (endor-auth-setup SKILL.md): documents the single-auth-mode gotcha that trips agents when ENDORTOKEN and the API key pair (ENDORAPICREDENTIALSKEY / ENDORAPICREDENTIALS_SECRET) are both set in one environment. SDK, endorctl, and MCP must pick one credential mode per env or per .env file, never both.
