Description
Sharing a link to a mini-dashboard webpage with other users would be great without leaking the primary API Key. The main reason why we need the primary API Key is because the dashboard requests the list of available indexes.
However, by sharing the index name in the URL with a query parameter alongside the Search API Key (or even a tenant token), the dashboard no longer needs to list the indexes by only showing the index name and avoiding displaying the number of documents.

Research direction
Review the mini-dashboard flow that lists available indexes and reads the dashboard URL. Trace how the index name and API key are obtained, then define the shared-link path around those inputs. Done means a link using only a Search API Key or tenant token opens the specified index without listing indexes, showing the document count, or requiring the primary API Key.
