Airtable's tokens have no row-level control: a valid token can read and write the entire base, so leaking one is a full breach. This guide explains why that key must never touch the browser and exactly what to do if it already has (rotate it, scope it down, restrict it). Essential if you treat Airtable as your database behind a public front end.

- Never embed an Airtable token in front-end code
- If a key leaks, rotate and re-scope it immediately
