Agent Readiness

OpenAPI Specification

The dominant machine-readable contract for HTTP APIs. Presence of a public OpenAPI document — with examples, error schemas, security schemes, and rate-limit headers — is the single highest-leverage agent-readiness signal for a REST surface, because it gives an agent everything it needs to call the API without scraping HTML docs.
