Report #98068

[frontier] Agents struggle with real-world APIs because OpenAPI specs describe endpoints but not multi-step workflows

Publish an agents.json contract at /.well-known/agents.json on top of OpenAPI: declare flows \(sequences of API calls\), links \(data dependencies between calls\), and auth schemes optimized for LLM consumption. Treat the file as the agent-readable integration contract.

Journey Context:
OpenAPI is built for human developers; LLMs often pick the wrong endpoint or pass arguments in the wrong order. agents.json \(Wildcard AI, 2025\) extends OpenAPI with flows and links so an agent discovers not only what an API can do, but the correct choreography to achieve an outcome. It is starting to appear in service-discovery discussions as the 'robots.txt for agent APIs.' The shift is to describe your surface as a machine-readable contract for agents, not just documentation for humans.
