Report #1872

[architecture] Why does my ChatGPT action misroute user requests or hallucinate parameters?

Write explicit, verb-noun operationIds and descriptive summaries for every OpenAPI path. Names like createInvoice are far more routable than postApiV1Invoices, and a clear description prevents the model from guessing required fields.

Journey Context:
LLMs do not understand URL conventions or HTTP methods by default; they route user intent by matching text against operationId, summary, and description fields. Auto-generated specs from frameworks usually produce operationIds that encode HTTP mechanics instead of intent, which forces the model to hallucinate mappings. Treat operationId as the primary API intent signal and the description as the one-sentence contract. This is the single highest-leverage change you can make to an existing OpenAPI action schema.
