You need a root key with the permissions listed on this page. Create one in the dashboard under Settings > Root Keys. See Permission reference for every permission.
keyauth, ratelimit, firewall, openapi, or logging, plus up to ten optional match expressions that restrict which requests it applies to.
Every call replaces the whole list. The environment’s policies become exactly the array you send, in that order, and each one gets a new ID. An empty array removes all policies. An environment can have up to 50 policies. If any policy is invalid, nothing is saved.

default:"~/.unkey/config.toml"
Path of the TOML file that
unkey auth login writes. Falls back to UNKEY_CONFIG.string
Output format. Falls back to
UNKEY_OUTPUT. Set json to print the full response envelope (meta and data) for piping; any other value prints the request ID followed by data.Required permissions

Examples
Require an API key from one keyspace. Akeyauth rule names one to five keyspaces, and each one must exist in your workspace. Otherwise the call fails with Keyspace "<id>" does not exist. and nothing is saved.
API endpoint
The command callsPOST /v2/gateway.setPolicies and prints its response. The request fields carry the same names as the flags in camelCase, which is the shape --body expects.
