[architecture] ChatGPT actions call the wrong endpoints or send malformed parameters

Publish a valid OpenAPI 3.x spec at a stable, linked URL. Write clear operation summaries and descriptions, unique operationId values, required fields where applicable, and an explicit security scheme. Do not rely on the LLM to infer behavior from path names alone.

Journey Context:
ChatGPT and similar agents use the OpenAPI spec as their calling card for your API. Vague or missing descriptions force the model to guess, causing it to pick the wrong operation or hallucinate parameter shapes. Many developers expose an auto-generated spec but skip human-readable operation summaries, leading to low success rates. The tradeoff is that more verbose specs consume context-window space, but accuracy improves sharply when each operation is self-contained.
