# EndpointAuthentication

Structured credential payload describing how GoodMem should authenticate with an upstream provider.

Prefer `builder()` to the canonical record constructor.
 Builder-based call sites remain source-compatible when optional fields are added in later SDK versions.

- `kind` (`CredentialKind`): Selected credential strategy
- `apiKey` (`ApiKeyAuth`): Configuration when kind is CREDENTIAL_KIND_API_KEY
- `gcpAdc` (`GcpAdcAuth`): Configuration when kind is CREDENTIAL_KIND_GCP_ADC
- `labels` (`java.util.Map<String, String>`): Optional annotations to aid operators (e.g., "owner=vertex")
