No auth required to browse the catalogue. |\n| `GET /api/retrieve/v1/processes` (no key) | **200** `application/json` | Full OGC-API-Processes `processes[]` list, e.g. \"CAMS European air quality forecasts\" with its full abstract — also open. |\n| `POST /api/retrieve/v1/processes/cams-global-greenhouse-gas-forecasts/execution` (no key, empty `{\"inputs\":{}}` body) | **401** `application/problem+json` | `{\"type\":\"permission denied\",\"title\":\"permission denied\",\"status\":401,\"detail\":\"authentication required\",\"instance\":\"https://ads.atmosphere.copernicus.eu/api/retrieve/v1/processes/cams-global-greenhouse-gas-forecasts/execution\",\"trace_id\":\"<uuid>\"}` |\n\nSo the gate is drawn at **data retrieval**, not at discovery: an agent can fully\nenumerate every CAMS dataset's metadata, fields, and licence text with zero\ncredentials, and only hits a wall when it tries to actually submit a job for\nthe gridded data.
