Get API key info via the Cloud Agents API

The Cloud Agents API v1 is in public beta. Authenticate with Basic auth (API key as username, empty password) or Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY. Create a user key at Cursor Dashboard → API Keys, or use a service account key. Availability: Beta (all plans) per the API overview.
