Auth notes

Use Autodesk Platform Services (APS) OAuth 2.0. Register app at aps.autodesk.com. Requires 3-legged OAuth for user data access. Store refresh tokens securely.

Rate limits

200 requests per minute. APS enforces rate limits per app not per user. Implement exponential backoff on 429 errors.

Edge cases

API docs sometimes lag behind actual endpoints. Test all endpoints in sandbox before production. File upload endpoints have 200MB limit. Some fields return null instead of empty array.

Sandbox testing

Run test calls against Autodesk Build from Pipeyard. Try prompts below to see a simulated response; real MCP integration is coming in a future release.
