LLM Request Flow
This is the normal engine user flow.
Quickstart flow
- start the server
- keep your API key where it already is
- point your IDE at
http://localhost:8080 - use your IDE normally
- check health with
cast doctoror the runtime endpoints
Request path
- your IDE sends the request to Cencurity Engine
- the engine forwards the request to the configured upstream provider
- the provider starts returning model output
- the engine inspects the response in the stream
- the engine returns the final result to your IDE
Runtime endpoints
- Health:
http://localhost:8080/healthz - Metrics:
http://localhost:8080/metrics
Auth behavior
In the normal setup:
- your IDE or coding client already has the provider API key
- Cencurity Engine forwards that auth header upstream
- you do not need to store the key in Cencurity Engine
