How can I verify the authenticity and edition of a Windows Product Key?

I know that toolsexist to check that a Windows Product Key works, but these programs are typically freeware and I am not convinced that they will not collect my keys. I am looking for an official way to verify that a product key that I have will activate a particular Windows 11 edition. I want to either run a command or send a request to a Microsoft API that will tell me if a key will work without actually using it to activate Windows on the host machine.

I know that slmgr /ipk [key] will attempt activation with the provided key, but I do not want to consume the product key.
