Why it matters

Protected resource metadata (RFC 9728) is how an agent learns, from the API itself, which authorization server issues tokens for it and with which scopes.

How to fix it

If your API needs credentials, publish /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource with resource, authorization_servers and scopes_supported.
