Report #52460

[agent\_craft] Writing 'The API allows you to...' or 'This function lets you...'

Write 'You can...' or focus on the object's action: 'The API creates...' or 'The function filters...'

Journey Context:
'Allows you to' is wordy and shifts focus to the system's permission rather than the capability. It adds unnecessary words and passive framing. Direct action is clearer and more concise.
