This section explains how callers integrate with Veil through the local gateway.
Veil currently exposes a narrow client-facing surface:
GET /healthGET /v1/modelsPOST /v1/chat/completions
Clients should treat Veil as a local OpenAI-compatible gateway, not as a direct Relay or Provider API. This local gateway is the access surface of a Relay/Provider market network, not a standalone proxy product.
- The local gateway is an access entrypoint, while market behavior is defined by Relay admission, Provider execution, and witness flows.
- Quote budgets used by clients are routing-time controls and do not replace settlement interfaces.
- For role boundaries and request ownership, see System Model.
- For economic and settlement boundaries, see Governance and Economics.
