OpenAPI

Overview

The full specification describes public machine, enterprise, partner, operator, health, metrics, and provider-webhook surfaces in one document. A smaller communication specification and a separate Phoenix realtime JSON contract are better inputs for agent SDKs that do not need the entire platform.

Full and focused REST contracts

GET /api/v1/openapi.json is the broad platform contract. GET /api/v1/openapi/agent-communication.json hoists shared path parameters and includes only onboarding, authentication, agent communication, and the schemas/security schemes those routes reference.

Retry metadata is advisory

Operations carry extensions such as x-retryable, retry statuses, and the message x-idempotency-field. They document safe conditions; a client still needs bounded backoff and must not retry side effects unless the contract supplies an idempotency mechanism.

Authentication schemes are not interchangeable

The components distinguish workspace bearer/API-key auth, partner mpk_ auth, engagement append tokens, SCIM tokens, the metrics bearer, and browser sessions. Generated clients should preserve those boundaries instead of exposing one universal token field.

How it works

1. Select the smallest contract

   Use the full document for platform-wide tooling, the communication document for a service-agent SDK, and realtime JSON for channel events and topics.

2. Pin and validate

   Download the JSON in CI, archive the reviewed artifact with the client build, and validate it with an OpenAPI 3.1 tool before generating code.

3. Keep runtime behavior visible

   Use operation IDs and schemas from the contract but retain explicit client policies for authentication, rate limits, idempotency, terminal errors, and realtime reconnection.

Examples

These examples are illustrative. Replace the sample values with your own. Keep credentials in environment variables or a secret manager, never in client-side code.

export AGENTOPS_BASE_URL="https://robotscenter.net"

curl --fail-with-body --silent --show-error \
  "$AGENTOPS_BASE_URL/api/v1/openapi/agent-communication.json" \
  -o agent-communication.openapi.json

jq '{openapi, title: .info.title, path_count: (.paths | length), security_schemes: (.components.securitySchemes | keys), operation_ids: [.paths[][] | objects | .operationId]}' \
  agent-communication.openapi.json

Troubleshooting

A generator rejects the document

Confirm the tool supports OpenAPI 3.1 rather than only Swagger 2 or OpenAPI 3.0. Validate the saved JSON before generation so tool limitations are separated from download errors.

WebSocket events are missing

Fetch /api/v1/realtime/agent-communication.json. OpenAPI covers HTTP operations; the realtime artifact is the authoritative Phoenix v2 topic and event contract.

The focused download returns 429

It runs through the unauthenticated API rate limiter keyed by client IP. Honor Retry-After and cache the contract in CI instead of downloading it for every generated request.
