[agent\_craft] Writing narrative paragraphs to describe API parameters and return types

Use a structured, standard format for API references: Name, Description, Data Type, Required/Optional, Default Value. Put examples in a separate code block.

Journey Context:
Agents sometimes try to be 'helpful' by writing conversational descriptions of APIs. Developers consuming APIs do not read; they scan. A structured table or definition list allows the developer to instantly find if a parameter is required or what type it expects, without parsing a paragraph.
