[**Authenticate**Auth lives in your client. The plugin does not send credentials itself. It tells your client which schemes each operation needs, and your client decides what to do.](https://kubb.dev/extensions/kubb-labs/plugin-client/guides/authentication) [**Call operations**Each generated function takes one grouped options object and returns your client's promise.](https://kubb.dev/extensions/kubb-labs/plugin-client/guides/calling-operations) [**Validate requests and responses**@kubb/plugin-client does not validate on its own. With validator set, it passes the schemas to your client, which runs them.](https://kubb.dev/extensions/kubb-labs/plugin-client/guides/validate-requests-and-responses) [**Write your client**The generated functions import your module through importPath. That module is the only runtime code the generated functions call, and you own it.](https://kubb.dev/extensions/kubb-labs/plugin-client/guides/write-your-client)
