## FAQ

### Is Esheria a substitute for legal advice?

No, Esheria provides regulatory intelligence, not legal advice.

### How do I configure the Esheria CLI?

You can configure your shell by exporting ESHERIA_API_BASE_URL and ESHERIA_API_KEY environment variables.

### What is the difference between normal tokens and operator tokens?

Normal tokens carry only regulatory:read permissions, while operator tokens allow state-changing workflows with scopes like monitoring:write, graph:write, or customer:write.
