 Llama Stack was created to provide developers with a comprehensive and coherent interface that simplifies AI application development and codifies best practices across the Llama ecosystem. Since our launch in September 2024, we have seen a huge uptick in interest in Llama Stack APIs by both AI developers and from partners building AI services with Llama models. Partners like Nvidia, Fireworks, and Ollama have collaborated with us to develop implementations across various APIs, including inference, memory, and safety.
 
-With Llama Stack, you can easily build a RAG agent which can also search the web, do complex math, and custom tool calling. You can use telemetry to inspect those traces, and convert telemetry into evals datasets. And with Llama Stack’s plugin architecture and prepackage distributions, you choose to run your agent anywhere - in the cloud with our partners, deploy your own environment using virtualenv, conda, or Docker, operate locally with Ollama, or even run on mobile devices with our SDKs. Llama Stack offers unprecedented flexibility while also simplifying the developer experience.

 ## Release
 After iterating on the APIs for the last 3 months, today we’re launching a stable release (V1) of the Llama Stack APIs and the corresponding llama-stack server and client packages(v0.1.0). We now have automated tests for providers. These tests make sure that all provider implementations are verified. Developers can now easily and reliably select distributions or providers based on their specific requirements.

+# External APIs
+
+Llama Stack supports external APIs that live outside of the main codebase. This allows you to:
+- Create and maintain your own APIs independently
+- Share APIs with others without contributing to the main codebase
+- Keep API-specific code separate from the core Llama Stack code
+
+## Configuration
+
+To enable external APIs, you need to configure the `external_apis_dir` in your Llama Stack configuration. This directory should contain your external API specifications:
+
+```yaml
+external_apis_dir: ~/.llama/apis.d/
+```
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+The external APIs directory should follow this structure:
+
+```
+apis.d/
+  custom_api1.yaml
+  custom_api2.yaml
+```
+
+Each YAML file in these directories defines an API specification.
+
+## API Specification
+
+Here's an example of an external API specification for a weather API:
+
+```yaml
+module: weather
+api_dependencies:
+  - inference
+protocol: WeatherAPI
+name: weather
+pip_packages:
+  - llama-stack-api-weather
+```
+
+### API Specification Fields
+
+- `module`: Python module containing the API implementation
+- `protocol`: Name of the protocol class for the API
+- `name`: Name of the API
+- `pip_packages`: List of pip packages to install the API, typically a single package
+
+## Required Implementation
+
+External APIs must expose a `available_providers()` function in their module that returns a list of provider names:
+
+```python
+# llama_stack_api_weather/api.py
+from llama_stack.providers.datatypes import Api, InlineProviderSpec, ProviderSpec
+
+
+def available_providers() -> list[ProviderSpec]:
+    return [
+        InlineProviderSpec(
+            api=Api.weather,
+            provider_type="inline::darksky",
+            pip_packages=[],
+            module="llama_stack_provider_darksky",
+            config_class="llama_stack_provider_darksky.DarkSkyWeatherImplConfig",
+        ),
+    ]
+```
+
+A Protocol class like so:
+
+```python
+# llama_stack_api_weather/api.py
+from typing import Protocol
+
+from llama_stack.schema_utils import webmethod
+
+
+class WeatherAPI(Protocol):
+    """
+    A protocol for the Weather API.
+    """
+
+    @webmethod(route="/locations", method="GET")
+    async def get_available_locations() -> dict[str, list[str]]:
+        """
+        Get the available locations.
+        """
+        ...
+```
+
+## Example: Custom API
+
+Here's a complete example of creating and using a custom API:
+
+1. First, create the API package:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p llama-stack-api-weather
+cd llama-stack-api-weather
+mkdir src/llama_stack_api_weather
+git init
+uv init
+```
+
+2. Edit `pyproject.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[project]
+name = "llama-stack-api-weather"
+version = "0.1.0"
+description = "Weather API for Llama Stack"
+readme = "README.md"
+requires-python = ">=3.10"
+dependencies = ["llama-stack", "pydantic"]
+
+[build-system]
+requires = ["setuptools"]
+build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"
+
+[tool.setuptools.packages.find]
+where = ["src"]
+include = ["llama_stack_api_weather", "llama_stack_api_weather.*"]
+```
+
+3. Create the initial files:
+
+```bash
+touch src/llama_stack_api_weather/__init__.py
+touch src/llama_stack_api_weather/api.py
+```
+
+```python
+# llama-stack-api-weather/src/llama_stack_api_weather/__init__.py
+"""Weather API for Llama Stack."""
+
+from .api import WeatherAPI, available_providers
+
+__all__ = ["WeatherAPI", "available_providers"]
+```
+
+4. Create the API implementation:
+
+```python
+# llama-stack-api-weather/src/llama_stack_api_weather/weather.py
+from typing import Protocol
+
+from llama_stack.providers.datatypes import (
+    AdapterSpec,
+    Api,
+    ProviderSpec,
+    RemoteProviderSpec,
+)
+from llama_stack.schema_utils import webmethod
+
+
+def available_providers() -> list[ProviderSpec]:
+    return [
+        RemoteProviderSpec(
+            api=Api.weather,
+            provider_type="remote::kaze",
+            config_class="llama_stack_provider_kaze.KazeProviderConfig",
+            adapter=AdapterSpec(
+                adapter_type="kaze",
+                module="llama_stack_provider_kaze",
+                pip_packages=["llama_stack_provider_kaze"],
+                config_class="llama_stack_provider_kaze.KazeProviderConfig",
+            ),
+        ),
+    ]
+
+
+class WeatherProvider(Protocol):
+    """
+    A protocol for the Weather API.
+    """
+
+    @webmethod(route="/weather/locations", method="GET")
+    async def get_available_locations() -> dict[str, list[str]]:
+        """
+        Get the available locations.
+        """
+        ...
+```
+
+5. Create the API specification:
+
+```yaml
+# ~/.llama/apis.d/weather.yaml
+module: llama_stack_api_weather
+name: weather
+pip_packages: ["llama-stack-api-weather"]
+protocol: WeatherProvider
+
+```
+
+6. Install the API package:
+
+```bash
+uv pip install -e .
+```
+
+7. Configure Llama Stack to use external APIs:
+
+```yaml
+version: "2"
+image_name: "llama-stack-api-weather"
+apis:
+  - weather
+providers: {}
+external_apis_dir: ~/.llama/apis.d
+```
+
+The API will now be available at `/v1/weather/locations`.
+
+## Example: custom provider for the weather API
+
+1. Create the provider package:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p llama-stack-provider-kaze
+cd llama-stack-provider-kaze
+uv init
+```
+
+2. Edit `pyproject.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[project]
+name = "llama-stack-provider-kaze"
+version = "0.1.0"
+description = "Kaze weather provider for Llama Stack"
+readme = "README.md"

+
+[build-system]
+requires = ["setuptools"]
+build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"
+
+[tool.setuptools.packages.find]
+where = ["src"]
+include = ["llama_stack_provider_kaze", "llama_stack_provider_kaze.*"]
+```
+
+3. Create the initial files:
+
+```bash
+touch src/llama_stack_provider_kaze/__init__.py
+touch src/llama_stack_provider_kaze/kaze.py
+```
+
+4. Create the provider implementation:
+
+
+Initialization function:
+
+```python
+# llama-stack-provider-kaze/src/llama_stack_provider_kaze/__init__.py
+"""Kaze weather provider for Llama Stack."""

+__all__ = ["KazeProviderConfig", "WeatherKazeAdapter"]
+
+
+async def get_adapter_impl(config: KazeProviderConfig, _deps):
+    from .kaze import WeatherKazeAdapter
+
+    impl = WeatherKazeAdapter(config)
+    await impl.initialize()
+    return impl
+```
+
+Configuration:
+
+```python
+# llama-stack-provider-kaze/src/llama_stack_provider_kaze/config.py
+from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
+
+
+class KazeProviderConfig(BaseModel):
+    """Configuration for the Kaze weather provider."""
+
+    base_url: str = Field(
+        "https://api.kaze.io/v1",
+        description="Base URL for the Kaze weather API",
+    )
+```
+
+Main implementation:
+
+```python
+# llama-stack-provider-kaze/src/llama_stack_provider_kaze/kaze.py
+from llama_stack_api_weather.api import WeatherProvider
+
+from .config import KazeProviderConfig
+
+
+class WeatherKazeAdapter(WeatherProvider):
+    """Kaze weather provider implementation."""
+
+    def __init__(
+        self,
+        config: KazeProviderConfig,
+    ) -> None:
+        self.config = config
+
+    async def initialize(self) -> None:
+        pass
+
+    async def get_available_locations(self) -> dict[str, list[str]]:
+        """Get available weather locations."""
+        return {"locations": ["Paris", "Tokyo"]}
+```
+
+5. Create the provider specification:
+
+```yaml
+# ~/.llama/providers.d/remote/weather/kaze.yaml
+adapter:
+  adapter_type: kaze
+  pip_packages: ["llama_stack_provider_kaze"]
+  config_class: llama_stack_provider_kaze.config.KazeProviderConfig
+  module: llama_stack_provider_kaze
+optional_api_dependencies: []
+```
+
+6. Install the provider package:
+
+```bash
+uv pip install -e .
+```
+
+7. Configure Llama Stack to use the provider:
+
+```yaml
+# ~/.llama/run-byoa.yaml
+version: "2"
+image_name: "llama-stack-api-weather"
+apis:
+  - weather
+providers:
+  weather:
+  - provider_id: kaze
+    provider_type: remote::kaze
+    config: {}
+external_apis_dir: ~/.llama/apis.d
+external_providers_dir: ~/.llama/providers.d
+server:
+  port: 8321
+```
+
+8. Run the server:
+
+```bash
+python -m llama_stack.core.server.server --yaml-config ~/.llama/run-byoa.yaml
+```
+
+9. Test the API:
+
+```bash
+curl -sSf http://127.0.0.1:8321/v1/weather/locations
+{"locations":["Paris","Tokyo"]}%
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Package Naming**: Use a clear and descriptive name for your API package.
+
+2. **Version Management**: Keep your API package versioned and compatible with the Llama Stack version you're using.
+
+3. **Dependencies**: Only include the minimum required dependencies in your API package.
+
+4. **Documentation**: Include clear documentation in your API package about:
+   - Installation requirements
+   - Configuration options
+   - API endpoints and usage
+   - Any limitations or known issues
+
+5. **Testing**: Include tests in your API package to ensure it works correctly with Llama Stack.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If your external API isn't being loaded:
+
+1. Check that the `external_apis_dir` path is correct and accessible.
+2. Verify that the YAML files are properly formatted.
+3. Ensure all required Python packages are installed.
+4. Check the Llama Stack server logs for any error messages - turn on debug logging to get more information using `LLAMA_STACK_LOGGING=all=debug`.
+5. Verify that the API package is installed in your Python environment.

+# Agents vs OpenAI Responses API
+
+Llama Stack (LLS) provides two different APIs for building AI applications with tool calling capabilities: the **Agents API** and the **OpenAI Responses API**. While both enable AI systems to use tools, and maintain full conversation history, they serve different use cases and have distinct characteristics.
+
+> **Note:** For simple and basic inferencing, you may want to use the [Chat Completions API](https://llama-stack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/providers/index.html#chat-completions) directly, before progressing to Agents or Responses API.
+
+## Overview
+
+### LLS Agents API
+The Agents API is a full-featured, stateful system designed for complex, multi-turn conversations. It maintains conversation state through persistent sessions identified by a unique session ID. The API supports comprehensive agent lifecycle management, detailed execution tracking, and rich metadata about each interaction through a structured session/turn/step hierarchy. The API can orchestrate multiple tool calls within a single turn.
+
+### OpenAI Responses API
+The OpenAI Responses API is a full-featured, stateful system designed for complex, multi-turn conversations, with direct compatibility with OpenAI's conversational patterns enhanced by LLama Stack's tool calling capabilities. It maintains conversation state by chaining responses through a `previous_response_id`, allowing interactions to branch or continue from any prior point. Each response can perform multiple tool calls within a single turn.
+
+### Key Differences
+The LLS Agents API uses the Chat Completions API on the backend for inference as it's the industry standard for building AI applications and most LLM providers are compatible with this API. For a detailed comparison between Responses and Chat Completions, see [OpenAI's documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/responses-vs-chat-completions).
+
+Additionally, Agents let you specify input/output shields whereas Responses do not (though support is planned). Agents use a linear conversation model referenced by a single session ID. Responses, on the other hand, support branching, where each response can serve as a fork point, and conversations are tracked by the latest response ID. Responses also lets you dynamically choose the model, vector store, files, MCP servers, and more on each inference call, enabling more complex workflows. Agents require a static configuration for these components at the start of the session.
+
+Today the Agents and Responses APIs can be used independently depending on the use case. But, it is also productive to treat the APIs as complementary. It is not currently supported, but it is planned for the LLS Agents API to alternatively use the Responses API as its backend instead of the default Chat Completions API, i.e., enabling a combination of the safety features of Agents with the dynamic configuration and branching capabilities of Responses.
+
+| Feature | LLS Agents API | OpenAI Responses API |
+|---------|------------|---------------------|
+| **Conversation Management** | Linear persistent sessions | Can branch from any previous response ID |
+| **Input/Output Safety Shields** | Supported | Not yet supported |
+| **Per-call Flexibility** | Static per-session configuration | Dynamic per-call configuration |
+
+## Use Case Example: Research with Multiple Search Methods
+
+Let's compare how both APIs handle a research task where we need to:
+1. Search for current information and examples
+2. Access different information sources dynamically
+3. Continue the conversation based on search results
+
+### Agents API: Session-based configuration with safety shields
+
+```python
+# Create agent with static session configuration
+agent = Agent(
+    client,
+    model="Llama3.2-3B-Instruct",
+    instructions="You are a helpful coding assistant",
+    tools=[
+        {
+            "name": "builtin::rag/knowledge_search",
+            "args": {"vector_db_ids": ["code_docs"]},
+        },
+        "builtin::code_interpreter",
+    ],
+    input_shields=["llama_guard"],
+    output_shields=["llama_guard"],
+)
+
+session_id = agent.create_session("code_session")
+
+# First turn: Search and execute
+response1 = agent.create_turn(
+    messages=[
+        {
+            "role": "user",
+            "content": "Find examples of sorting algorithms and run a bubble sort on [3,1,4,1,5]",
+        },
+    ],
+    session_id=session_id,
+)
+
+# Continue conversation in same session
+response2 = agent.create_turn(
+    messages=[
+        {
+            "role": "user",
+            "content": "Now optimize that code and test it with a larger dataset",
+        },
+    ],
+    session_id=session_id,  # Same session, maintains full context
+)
+
+# Agents API benefits:
+# ✅ Safety shields protect against malicious code execution
+# ✅ Session maintains context between code executions
+# ✅ Consistent tool configuration throughout conversation
+print(f"First result: {response1.output_message.content}")
+print(f"Optimization: {response2.output_message.content}")
+```
+
+### Responses API: Dynamic per-call configuration with branching
+
+```python
+# First response: Use web search for latest algorithms
+response1 = client.responses.create(
+    model="Llama3.2-3B-Instruct",
+    input="Search for the latest efficient sorting algorithms and their performance comparisons",
+    tools=[
+        {
+            "type": "web_search",
+        },
+    ],  # Web search for current information
+)
+
+# Continue conversation: Switch to file search for local docs
+response2 = client.responses.create(
+    model="Llama3.2-1B-Instruct",  # Switch to faster model
+    input="Now search my uploaded files for existing sorting implementations",
+    tools=[
+        {  # Using Responses API built-in tools
+            "type": "file_search",
+            "vector_store_ids": ["vs_abc123"],  # Vector store containing uploaded files
+        },
+    ],
+    previous_response_id=response1.id,
+)
+
+# Branch from first response: Try different search approach
+response3 = client.responses.create(
+    model="Llama3.2-3B-Instruct",
+    input="Instead, search the web for Python-specific sorting best practices",
+    tools=[{"type": "web_search"}],  # Different web search query
+    previous_response_id=response1.id,  # Branch from response1
+)
+
+# Responses API benefits:
+# ✅ Dynamic tool switching (web search ↔ file search per call)
+# ✅ OpenAI-compatible tool patterns (web_search, file_search)
+# ✅ Branch conversations to explore different information sources
+# ✅ Model flexibility per search type
+print(f"Web search results: {response1.output_message.content}")
+print(f"File search results: {response2.output_message.content}")
+print(f"Alternative web search: {response3.output_message.content}")
+```
+
+Both APIs demonstrate distinct strengths that make them valuable on their own for different scenarios. The Agents API excels in providing structured, safety-conscious workflows with persistent session management, while the Responses API offers flexibility through dynamic configuration and OpenAI compatible tool patterns.
+
+## Use Case Examples
+
+### 1. **Research and Analysis with Safety Controls**
+**Best Choice: Agents API**
+
+**Scenario:** You're building a research assistant for a financial institution that needs to analyze market data, execute code to process financial models, and search through internal compliance documents. The system must ensure all interactions are logged for regulatory compliance and protected by safety shields to prevent malicious code execution or data leaks.
+
+**Why Agents API?** The Agents API provides persistent session management for iterative research workflows, built-in safety shields to protect against malicious code in financial models, and structured execution logs (session/turn/step) required for regulatory compliance. The static tool configuration ensures consistent access to your knowledge base and code interpreter throughout the entire research session.
+
+### 2. **Dynamic Information Gathering with Branching Exploration**
+**Best Choice: Responses API**
+
+**Scenario:** You're building a competitive intelligence tool that helps businesses research market trends. Users need to dynamically switch between web search for current market data and file search through uploaded industry reports. They also want to branch conversations to explore different market segments simultaneously and experiment with different models for various analysis types.
+
+**Why Responses API?** The Responses API's branching capability lets users explore multiple market segments from any research point. Dynamic per-call configuration allows switching between web search and file search as needed, while experimenting with different models (faster models for quick searches, more powerful models for deep analysis). The OpenAI-compatible tool patterns make integration straightforward.
+
+### 3. **OpenAI Migration with Advanced Tool Capabilities**
+**Best Choice: Responses API**
+
+**Scenario:** You have an existing application built with OpenAI's Assistants API that uses file search and web search capabilities. You want to migrate to Llama Stack for better performance and cost control while maintaining the same tool calling patterns and adding new capabilities like dynamic vector store selection.
+
+**Why Responses API?** The Responses API provides full OpenAI tool compatibility (`web_search`, `file_search`) with identical syntax, making migration seamless. The dynamic per-call configuration enables advanced features like switching vector stores per query or changing models based on query complexity - capabilities that extend beyond basic OpenAI functionality while maintaining compatibility.
+
+### 4. **Educational Programming Tutor**
+**Best Choice: Agents API**
+
+**Scenario:** You're building a programming tutor that maintains student context across multiple sessions, safely executes code exercises, and tracks learning progress with audit trails for educators.
+
+**Why Agents API?** Persistent sessions remember student progress across multiple interactions, safety shields prevent malicious code execution while allowing legitimate programming exercises, and structured execution logs help educators track learning patterns.
+
+### 5. **Advanced Software Debugging Assistant**
+**Best Choice: Agents API with Responses Backend**
+
+**Scenario:** You're building a debugging assistant that helps developers troubleshoot complex issues. It needs to maintain context throughout a debugging session, safely execute diagnostic code, switch between different analysis tools dynamically, and branch conversations to explore multiple potential causes simultaneously.
+
+**Why Agents + Responses?** The Agent provides safety shields for code execution and session management for the overall debugging workflow. The underlying Responses API enables dynamic model selection and flexible tool configuration per query, while branching lets you explore different theories (memory leak vs. concurrency issue) from the same debugging point and compare results.
+
+> **Note:** The ability to use Responses API as the backend for Agents is not yet implemented but is planned for a future release. Currently, Agents use Chat Completions API as their backend by default.

+## Inference Provider Patterns
+
+When implementing Inference providers for OpenAI-compatible APIs, Llama Stack provides several mixin classes to simplify development and ensure consistent behavior across providers.
+
+### OpenAIMixin
+
+The `OpenAIMixin` class provides direct OpenAI API functionality for providers that work with OpenAI-compatible endpoints. It includes:
+
+#### Direct API Methods
+- **`openai_completion()`**: Legacy text completion API with full parameter support
+- **`openai_chat_completion()`**: Chat completion API supporting streaming, tools, and function calling
+- **`openai_embeddings()`**: Text embeddings generation with customizable encoding and dimensions
+
+#### Model Management
+- **`check_model_availability()`**: Queries the API endpoint to verify if a model exists and is accessible
+
+#### Client Management
+- **`client` property**: Automatically creates and configures AsyncOpenAI client instances using your provider's credentials
+
+#### Required Implementation
+
+To use `OpenAIMixin`, your provider must implement these abstract methods:
+
+```python
+@abstractmethod
+def get_api_key(self) -> str:
+    """Return the API key for authentication"""
+    pass
+
+
+@abstractmethod
+def get_base_url(self) -> str:
+    """Return the OpenAI-compatible API base URL"""
+    pass
+```
 
 ## Testing the Provider
 
-Before running tests, you must have required dependencies installed. This depends on the providers or distributions you are testing. For example, if you are testing the `together` distribution, you should install dependencies via `llama stack build --template together`.

 If no access attributes are returned, the token is used as a namespace.
 
+### Access control
+
+When authentication is enabled, access to resources is controlled
+through the `access_policy` attribute of the auth config section under
+server. The value for this is a list of access rules.
+
+Each access rule defines a list of actions either to permit or to
+forbid. It may specify a principal or a resource that must match for
+the rule to take effect.
+
+Valid actions are create, read, update, and delete. The resource to
+match should be specified in the form of a type qualified identifier,
+e.g.  model::my-model or vector_db::some-db, or a wildcard for all
+resources of a type, e.g. model::*. If the principal or resource are
+not specified, they will match all requests.
+
+The valid resource types are model, shield, vector_db, dataset,
+scoring_function, benchmark, tool, tool_group and session.
+
+A rule may also specify a condition, either a 'when' or an 'unless',
+with additional constraints as to where the rule applies. The
+constraints supported at present are:
+
+ - 'user with <attr-value> in <attr-name>'
+ - 'user with <attr-value> not in <attr-name>'
+ - 'user is owner'
+ - 'user is not owner'
+ - 'user in owners <attr-name>'
+ - 'user not in owners <attr-name>'
+
+The attributes defined for a user will depend on how the auth
+configuration is defined.
+
+When checking whether a particular action is allowed by the current
+user for a resource, all the defined rules are tested in order to find
+a match. If a match is found, the request is permitted or forbidden
+depending on the type of rule. If no match is found, the request is
+denied.
+
+If no explicit rules are specified, a default policy is defined with
+which all users can access all resources defined in config but
+resources created dynamically can only be accessed by the user that
+created them.
+
+Examples:
+
+The following restricts access to particular github users:
+
+```yaml
+server:
+  auth:
+    provider_config:
+      type: "github_token"
+      github_api_base_url: "https://api.github.com"
+  access_policy:
+  - permit:
+      principal: user-1
+      actions: [create, read, delete]
+    description: user-1 has full access to all resources
+  - permit:
+      principal: user-2
+      actions: [read]
+      resource: model::model-1
+    description: user-2 has read access to model-1 only
+```
+
+Similarly, the following restricts access to particular kubernetes
+service accounts:
+
+```yaml
+server:
+  auth:
+    provider_config:
+      type: "oauth2_token"
+      audience: https://kubernetes.default.svc.cluster.local
+      issuer: https://kubernetes.default.svc.cluster.local
+      tls_cafile: /home/gsim/.minikube/ca.crt
+      jwks:
+        uri: https://kubernetes.default.svc.cluster.local:8443/openid/v1/jwks
+        token: ${env.TOKEN}
+    access_policy:
+    - permit:
+        principal: system:serviceaccount:my-namespace:my-serviceaccount
+        actions: [create, read, delete]
+      description: specific serviceaccount has full access to all resources
+    - permit:
+        principal: system:serviceaccount:default:default
+        actions: [read]
+        resource: model::model-1
+      description: default account has read access to model-1 only
+```
+
+The following policy, which assumes that users are defined with roles
+and teams by whichever authentication system is in use, allows any
+user with a valid token to use models, create resources other than
+models, read and delete resources they created and read resources
+created by users sharing a team with them:
+
+```
+    access_policy:
+    - permit:
+        actions: [read]
+        resource: model::*
+      description: all users have read access to models
+    - forbid:
+        actions: [create, delete]
+        resource: model::*
+      unless: user with admin in roles
+      description: only user with admin role can create or delete models
+    - permit:
+        actions: [create, read, delete]
+      when: user is owner
+      description: users can create resources other than models and read and delete those they own
+    - permit:
+        actions: [read]
+      when: user in owner teams
+      description: any user has read access to any resource created by a user with the same team
+```
+
+#### API Endpoint Authorization with Scopes
+
+In addition to resource-based access control, Llama Stack supports endpoint-level authorization using OAuth 2.0 style scopes. When authentication is enabled, specific API endpoints require users to have particular scopes in their authentication token.
+
+**Scope-Gated APIs:**
+The following APIs are currently gated by scopes:
+
+- **Telemetry API** (scope: `telemetry.read`):
+  - `POST /telemetry/traces` - Query traces
+  - `GET /telemetry/traces/{trace_id}` - Get trace by ID
+  - `GET /telemetry/traces/{trace_id}/spans/{span_id}` - Get span by ID
+  - `POST /telemetry/spans/{span_id}/tree` - Get span tree
+  - `POST /telemetry/spans` - Query spans
+  - `POST /telemetry/metrics/{metric_name}` - Query metrics
+
+**Authentication Configuration:**
+
+For **JWT/OAuth2 providers**, scopes should be included in the JWT's claims:
+```json
+{
+  "sub": "user123",
+  "scope": "telemetry.read",
+  "aud": "llama-stack"
+}
+```
+
+For **custom authentication providers**, the endpoint must return user attributes including the `scopes` array:
+```json
+{
+  "principal": "user123",
+  "attributes": {
+    "scopes": ["telemetry.read"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Behavior:**
+- Users without the required scope receive a 403 Forbidden response
+- When authentication is disabled, scope checks are bypassed
+- Endpoints without `required_scope` work normally for all authenticated users
+
 ### Quota Configuration

+# Customizing run.yaml Files
+
+The `run.yaml` files generated by Llama Stack templates are **starting points** designed to be customized for your specific needs. They are not meant to be used as-is in production environments.
+
+## Key Points
+
+- **Templates are starting points**: Generated `run.yaml` files contain defaults for development/testing
+- **Customization expected**: Update URLs, credentials, models, and settings for your environment
+- **Version control separately**: Keep customized configs in your own repository
+- **Environment-specific**: Create different configurations for dev, staging, production
+
+## What You Can Customize
+
+You can customize:
+- **Provider endpoints**: Change `http://localhost:8000` to your actual servers
+- **Swap providers**: Replace default providers (e.g., swap Tavily with Brave for search)
+- **Storage paths**: Move from `/tmp/` to production directories
+- **Authentication**: Add API keys, SSL, timeouts
+- **Models**: Different model sizes for dev vs prod
+- **Database settings**: Switch from SQLite to PostgreSQL
+- **Tool configurations**: Add custom tools and integrations
+
+## Best Practices
+
+- Use environment variables for secrets and environment-specific values
+- Create separate `run.yaml` files for different environments (dev, staging, prod)
+- Document your changes with comments
+- Test configurations before deployment
+- Keep your customized configs in version control
+
+Example structure:
+```
+your-project/
+├── configs/
+│   ├── dev-run.yaml
+│   ├── prod-run.yaml
+└── README.md
+```
+
+The goal is to take the generated template and adapt it to your specific infrastructure and operational needs.

-#### Enable FAISS Vector Provider
 ```bash
-export ENABLE_FAISS=faiss
+# self-hosted
+export OLLAMA_URL=http://localhost:11434   # enables the Ollama inference provider

-#### Enable Ollama Models
+This distribution comes with a default "llama-guard" shield that can be enabled by setting the `SAFETY_MODEL` environment variable to point to an appropriate Llama Guard model id. Use `llama-stack-client models list` to see the list of available models.

-export ENABLE_SQLITE_VEC=__disabled__
-export ENABLE_CHROMADB=__disabled__
-export ENABLE_PGVECTOR=__disabled__

-### Provider ID Patterns
-
-The starter distribution uses several patterns for provider IDs:
-
-1. **Direct provider IDs**: `faiss`, `ollama`, `vllm`
-2. **Environment-based provider IDs**: `${env.ENABLE_SQLITE_VEC+sqlite-vec}`
-3. **Model-based provider IDs**: `${env.OLLAMA_INFERENCE_MODEL:__disabled__}`
-
-When using the `+` pattern (like `${env.ENABLE_SQLITE_VEC+sqlite-vec}`), the provider is enabled by default and can be disabled by setting the environment variable to `__disabled__`.
-
-When using the `:` pattern (like `${env.OLLAMA_INFERENCE_MODEL:__disabled__}`), the provider is disabled by default and can be enabled by setting the environment variable to a valid value.

 Another simple way to start interacting with Llama Stack is to just spin up a container (via Docker or Podman) which is pre-built with all the providers you need. We provide a number of pre-built images so you can start a Llama Stack server instantly. You can also build your own custom container. Which distribution to choose depends on the hardware you have. See [Selection of a Distribution](selection) for more details.

-## Conda:
-
-If you have a custom or an advanced setup or you are developing on Llama Stack you can also build a custom Llama Stack server. Using `llama stack build` and `llama stack run` you can build/run a custom Llama Stack server containing the exact combination of providers you wish. We have also provided various templates to make getting started easier. See [Building a Custom Distribution](building_distro) for more details.
