### Overview

Use AI to draft a Cloud Cost Management tag key description based on associated cost data. The generated description is returned in the response and is not persisted by this endpoint; follow up with `UpsertCostTagDescriptionByKey` to save it. This endpoint requires the `cloud_cost_management_read` permission.

OAuth apps require the `cloud_cost_management_read` authorization [scope](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/scopes.md#cloud-cost-management) to access this endpoint.
