Suggested Improvement
When creating llm providers by default we are using X-API-key as the api key header for the api-key-auth policy. But this wont work with the existing sdks and etc. We have to either change the api-key header to the relevant one or add the custom header in the sdk.
The standard should be we using the same api key header the provider is using. For example if it is openai, it should be Authorization.
