description: Returns the union of built-in template types, distinct types registered in the catalog (including ad-hoc types with no compile-time template), and CSD-described types — deduped and sorted (e.g. 3d-printing, cnc, hplc, laser-cutting, wood-fired-pizza). PUBLIC — no auth required. Per-template detail lives at /api/capabilities/templates.

/api/capabilities:
get:
operationId: get_api_capabilities
summary: List capability instances (paginated, optionally filtered by type)
tags:
- Discovery
description: Returns a paginated set of CapabilityDTO records spanning all registered kernels. Each record includes type, materials, tolerances, pricing, location, plus enrichment fields (reputation, queueDepth, available, kernelStatus). PUBLIC. Optional ?type= narrows the set. The match is BOTH exact (`type=pizza.order` returns only `pizza.order` caps) and prefix-based (`type=courier` returns `courier.dispatch`, `courier.quote`, `courier.track`, etc.). This lets agents query by a coarse scope (`courier`, `pizza`, `compute`, `manufacturing`, `lab`, `food`, `software-service`, `sensor`, `robot`, `custom`) without hard-coding the vendor-specific suffixes. The list endpoint is the discovery surface — driver/operator agents poll it to find jobs they can claim, so filtering must be honoured.
