# Hivel settings (hivel: )
The hivel: block is required in every config.yml. It holds the credential hivel-agent uses to authenticate to Hivel's platform, plus a few agent-wide behavior toggles that control what, if anything, gets sent back to Hivel beyond your metadata.
| **Key** | **Required** | **Default** | **Description** |
| -------------------- | --------------- | ----------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| api\_token | Yes (sync/send) | - | From Hivel dashboard → Settings → API Tokens |
| send\_agent\_config | No | false | Upload a sanitized copy of this config on every run (credentials redacted). See Sending config to Hivel. |
| stream\_logs | No | false | Stream agent logs to Hivel in real time for live debugging. |
| no\_override\_config | No | false | Skip GET /api/agent/scm-config on startup. When true, only values in config.yml are used - no server-side overrides applied. Applies to GitHub sync only. |
