OpenAPI Specification

openapi: 3.2.0
info:
  title: Pieces OS Local Applications API
  description: The Pieces OS local REST API. Pieces OS is an on-device process that runs on the developer's machine and serves this API over the loopback interface at http://localhost:1000. It backs the Pieces Copilot, saved snippets (assets), local and cloud model management, and workspace context, and is the source of the official OpenAPI-generated SDKs. This document captures the core documented resources (assets, formats, copilot/QGPT, conversations, models, applications, user, and well-known). For the complete machine-generated specification see the upstream pieces-os-client-openapi-spec repository.
