How do I get a Confluent Cloud API Key?

Log in to your Confluent Cloud dashboard. Go to **Cloud API Keys** under the administration menu. Click **Add key**, select the scope, and copy both the API Key and Secret.

What is an Environment in Confluent?

An Environment is a logical boundary containing clusters, schema registries, and connectors. You often need the Environment ID when querying specific resources.

Can the agent consume messages directly?

This integration focuses on control-plane tasks: managing topics, monitoring cluster status, and listing connectors. Direct message consumption from streams is not supported.
