Scoped API keys

Telemetry documents read, write, and read-and-write scopes. Use separate keys for ingestion, querying, and automation when responsibilities differ.

Queryable event storage

Incoming JSON is checked for schema compatibility, buffered for fresh queries, and written as compact Parquet history used by the DataFusion query layer.

Retention and deletion controls

Table APIs expose configurable retention, row deletion, and table deletion. Treat deletion as irreversible and restrict write-capable credentials.

Payment-data boundary

Telemetry's privacy policy states that payment card details are provided directly to the payment processor and are not stored or collected by Telemetry.

Instrumentation boundary

Data to keep out by default

  • Passwords, API keys, auth headers, cookies, and session tokens
  • Private keys, wallet mnemonics, signatures, and credentials
  • Raw prompts, completions, webhook bodies, and job payloads unless specifically reviewed
  • Payment-card data and unnecessary personal or customer content

Safer event design

Prefer categories and identifiers

  • Record error_type and failed_step instead of a raw sensitive payload
  • Use route templates rather than URLs containing identifiers
  • Store accepted, saved, retried, or discarded outcomes without raw AI content
  • Keep environments, services, owners, and stable event names consistent
