Personal tokens

A personal access token (PAT) authenticates API calls and IDE integrations as you, without using your password. Settings › Personal Tokens is where you create, inspect, and revoke them.

The Personal Tokens table

Generate a token

Section titled “Generate a token”

  1. Open the form

    Select +.

  2. Name it and set an expiration

    Give it a descriptive name and choose Never, or a number of days, weeks, hours, or minutes.

  3. Generate and copy

    The full token is shown only once — copy it immediately. It cannot be retrieved again after you close the dialog.

Manage tokens

Section titled “Manage tokens”

The table shows each token’s last-4-characters value and an expiration status (a warning icon appears within 7 days of expiry). Select the preview icon to see ready-made VS Code (settings.json) or JetBrains (alita.xml) configuration snippets for that token, copy or download them, or delete a token you no longer need.

Troubleshooting

Section titled “Troubleshooting”
Lost the token value
It cannot be shown again — delete it and generate a new one.
IDE download icons are missing
They only appear once a model configuration is selected and you are outside the Public project.
An integration stopped working
Check whether its token expired; expired tokens stop authenticating immediately.
