General notes about NerdGraph functionality:

• All mutations can accept multiple keys as arguments, and will return details about successful changes and errors. See examples below for details.
• All mutations (create, update and delete) will result in an NrAuditEvent that can be queried for auditing purposes. For details, see Audit events.

• This feature allows you to create up to 1,000 keys of each license key type, which allows for key rotation.

• No one with your license key can see or make changes to your data
