 Uses boto3's Converse API which provides a consistent interface across all
 Bedrock-supported models (Anthropic, Meta, Mistral, Amazon, Cohere, etc.).
-Authenticates via the standard AWS credential chain (env vars, IAM role, etc.).
+
+Supports two authentication methods:
+- **Bearer token**: Set ``AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK`` env var (API key auth).
+- **IAM credentials**: Standard AWS credential chain (env vars, IAM role, etc.).
