    description: |
      AI integrations configure access to external LLM providers (e.g. OpenAI,
      Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Vertex AI). Integrations can be scoped to the
      entire account, a specific organization, or a specific space.
  - name: Annotation Configs
    description: >
      Annotation configs allow you to define consistent annotation schemas that

      can be reused across your workspace, ensuring evaluations are structured
      and

      comparable over time.
  - name: Annotation Queues
    description: >
      Annotation queues help you organize and manage human evaluation workflows.

      Use queues to assign spans or examples to annotators for review and
      labeling.
  - name: API Keys
    description: >
      API keys are used to authenticate requests to the Arize API. List your
      keys

      to view metadata; the raw secret is never returned after creation.
  - name: Datasets
    description: |
      Datasets are structured, version-controlled example collections you use to
      run, evaluate, and track LLM experiments.
  - name: Evaluators
    description: >
      Evaluators are reusable evaluation configurations used to assess the
      quality

      of LLM outputs. They can be template-based (using LLM judges) or
      code-based.
  - name: Experiments
    description: >
      Experiments let you systematically test prompt/model changes using
      datasets,

      tasks, and evaluators.
  - name: Integrations
    description: >
      Integrations configure access to external LLM providers (e.g. OpenAI,

      Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Vertex AI), notifications services (e.g.
      PagerDuty, Slack), and

      your own agents. Integrations can be scoped to the entire account, a
      specific

      organization, or a specific space.
  - name: Organizations
    description: >
      Organizations are top-level containers within an Arize AX account for
      grouping spaces.
  - name: Projects
    description: |
      Projects represent LLM applications being monitored in Arize where you can
      observe traces and spans.
  - name: Prompts
    description: >
      Prompts are reusable, versioned templates for LLM interactions. Use
      prompts

      to standardize and manage how you interact with LLMs across your
      application.
  - name: Resource Restrictions
    description: |
      Endpoints for restricting and unrestricting resources (projects, models).
  - name: Role Bindings
    description: |
      Role bindings assign a role to a user on a resource. REST currently
      supports space- and project-scoped bindings.
  - name: Roles
    description: >
      Roles define sets of permissions that can be assigned to users within an

      account. Create custom roles to tailor access control to your team's
      needs.
  - name: Spaces
    description: >
      Spaces are containers within an organization for grouping related
      projects,

      datasets, and experiments, enabling collaboration or isolated
      experimentation

      with role-based access control.
  - name: Spans
    description: |
      Spans represent individual operations within a trace. A span captures the
      timing, status, and attributes of a single operation in your application.
  - name: Tasks
    description: |
      Tasks are configurable units of work that tie one or more evaluators to a
      data source (project or dataset). Use tasks to automate evaluation of LLM
      outputs, with support for continuous evaluation and backfill runs.
  - name: Users
