Captures API Evangelist's enrichment of the served contract. The original document is never
mutated. Every action below is either an observed fact (recorded with its probe) or a pointer
into an artifact in this repository — no operation semantics are invented.

Add the servers block the node's own document leaves out entirely. Both hosts were probed on
2026-09-09 and returned the identical spec; the two testnet hosts the provider documents are
recorded but were not reachable anonymously.

Testnet AELF main chain as documented in the integration guide. Probed 2026-09-09 and
returned 403 to anonymous callers.

Testnet tDVW side chain as documented in the integration guide. Probed 2026-09-09 and

description: >-
Record the two contract-quality gaps found by reading the document: no operationId on any
operation, and no securitySchemes despite two documented Basic-auth operations.
update:
x-contract-gaps:
- id: no-operation-ids
detail: >-
None of the 24 operations declares an operationId, so no stable machine name exists for
any of them. Generated clients fall back to path-derived names and the MCP crosswalk has
to address operations as "METHOD /path".
- id: no-security-schemes
detail: >-
components.securitySchemes is absent. POST /api/net/peer and DELETE /api/net/peer are
documented as HTTP Basic at https://docs.aelf.com/tools/web-api/net-api/ but appear
anonymous in the contract.
- id: uniform-error-responses
detail: >-
Every operation declares the same 400/401/403/404/500/501 set with no per-operation
meaning and no examples. Observed behaviour differs from the shape a reader would expect:
an invalid block hash returns 403, not 400.
- id: no-examples
detail: No request or response examples are present in the served document.

note: >-
Once broadcast and included in a block this cannot be cancelled, refunded or reversed. See
the reversibility block in conventions/aelf-inc-conventions.yml.
