Returns only the caller's own credential: its type, API key id (API keys only), workspace and environment, effective scopes and expiry. Needs no scope beyond being authenticated. Use it at startup to check the application holds the scopes it needs and none it should not. Holding a scope is not proof a call will run: policies, budgets, environment halt and quotas still apply at request time. Never cached.
