“That address points to the test service, not the live one.”

Can you control it?

Set by the team

The people building or running the AI choose this setup. An everyday user generally needs their help to change how this part works.

Common questions

Does knowing the address grant access?
No. The service may require identity and permission checks.
Can an endpoint change between service versions?
Yes. A changed address or behavior can require connected software to be updated.
Does a working address guarantee the request is valid?
No. The supplied details and action still need to meet the service's requirements.
