      x-permission-scopes: >-
        The scope list of a `security` requirement holds ClickHouse Cloud API
        key permission ids (for example `control-plane:organization:view`), not
        OAuth scopes. OpenAPI has no field for API key permissions, so this is
        the closest available place. A key must hold every permission listed on
        an operation to call it; an operation with no scopes needs none beyond a
        valid key. Every operation declares at most one requirement object,
        always for this scheme, so the list is only ever conjunctive —
        alternative sets of permissions are never expressed.
