PlatformOverview

Platform

One account behind everything. Platform (at id.tangle.tools) is the identity, keys, and billing that every Tangle product runs on. You sign in once, get one sk-tan- API key, and draw from one shared balance, whether you are running a sandbox, calling inference, or reading Intelligence.

What it gives you

  • One identity. Sign in with email, GitHub, Google, or a wallet. The same session works across every product.
  • One API key. An sk-tan- key authenticates Sandbox, Inference, Intelligence, and the rest. See Authentication for how to create and use it.
  • One balance. A single USD credit balance funds every product, so you are not topping up four separate accounts.
  • The integration hub. Your agents reach external services through one broker at /v1/hub/*: OAuth connections, capability-scoped execution, approvals, and an audit trail, without hand-rolling OAuth per product.

Why it works this way

An agent that runs code, calls models, and reads traces touches three or four products in one task. Splitting identity, keys, and billing across them would mean four logins and four bills for one workflow. Platform keeps that as one account so the products compose instead of fragmenting.

How products use it

Every product verifies your key against Platform, checks your balance, and reports usage back to deduct credits. The integration hub is a separate path. Products import a hub client, point it at id.tangle.tools, and let Platform handle the OAuth, tokens, and policy for connecting to outside services.
