  description: >
    The Tally Platform API is a versioned REST API for managing business
    identity

    state, counterparty access grants, and refresh workflows.


    All tenant-scoped endpoints require an `Authorization: Bearer <token>`
    header

    containing a valid Firebase Auth JWT. Tokens are issued by Google Identity

    Platform (GCIP) after sign-in at your environment's app domain.
