+# Access control
+
+The admin API uses two different tokens for acces control, that are specified in the config file's `[admin]` section:
+
+- `metrics_token`: the token for accessing the Metrics endpoint (if this token is not set in the config file, the Metrics endpoint can be accessed without access control);
+- `admin_token`: the token for accessing all of the other administration endpoints (if this token is not set in the config file, these endpoints can be accessed without access control).
+
+# Administration API endpoints
+
+## Metrics `GET /metrics`
+
+Returns internal Garage metrics in Prometheus format.
+
+## GetClusterStatus `GET /status`
+
+Returns the cluster's current status in JSON, including:
+
+- Live nodes
+- Currently configured cluster layout
+- Staged changes to the cluster layout
+
+Example response body:
