Maybe this helps someone.
I figured out how to have internal routes used by the plugin, and routes that can be called externally.

This is the setup for …/routes/index.js

module.exports = {
  admin: {
    type: 'admin',
    routes: [
      {
        // this route can be called externally (e.g. postman) through http://localhost:1337/api/{pluginID}/getCurrent with appropriate api token
        method: 'GET',
        path: '/getAll',
        handler: 'myController.getAll',
        config: {
          policies: []
        }
      }
    ]
  },
  'content-api': {
    type: 'content-api',
    routes: [
      {
        // this route can be called by the plugin using request from '@strapi/helper-plugin' through /{pluginID}/getCurrent
        method: 'GET',
        path: '/getAll',
        handler: 'myController.getAll',
        config: {
          policies: []
          // auth: false
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

The routes under “content-api’” will show up in the api token creation menu so you can create the token for them.
