info:
  title: API Evangelist enhancements for the AltoIRA.com API
  version: 1.0.0
extends: openapi/altoira-partner-api-openapi.yml
x-generated: '2026-08-06'
x-method: generated
x-source: >-
  Derived from the harvested OpenAPI 3.0.1 plus Alto's ReadMe developer hub. This
  overlay records API Evangelist annotations only — the harvested spec at
  openapi/_original/altoira-partner-api-openapi-original.json is never mutated.
actions:
- target: $.info
  update:
    x-apievangelist-provider: altoira
    x-apievangelist-harvested: '2026-08-06'
    x-apievangelist-source: https://readme.altoira.com/reference
    x-apievangelist-harvest-method: >-
      Extracted verbatim from the ssr-props payload of the ReadMe developer hub.
      Alto serves no /openapi.json, /swagger.json or spec download link on any
      host.
    description: >-
      Alto's partner REST API for investment platforms and issuers. Connects an
      investor's self-directed Alto IRA to a partner platform via an OAuth
      handoff, then manages offerings, offering documents, investor enablement,
      and the post-commitment money movement — refunds, cancellations,
      distributions and capital calls.
    x-agent-readiness-notes:
      idempotency: >-
        Not supported. investmentDistribution, investmentRefund and
        issueNewCapitalCall move money with no idempotency key, and
        investmentDistribution documents a retryable 503.
      error_semantics: >-
        No machine-readable error codes. 10 of 17 operations declare no error
        response at all.
      pagination: Not supported on getOfferings.
      rate_limits: Not documented.

    description: Production API
- target: $.components.securitySchemes.UserOauth
  update:
    x-apievangelist-warning: >-
      All three flow URLs (authorizationUrl, tokenUrl, refreshUrl) hardcode the
      SANDBOX host altoira.sandbox.altoira.com. A client generated from this spec
      will authenticate against sandbox even when targeting the production
      server. Reported as a contract defect, not corrected here.
    x-apievangelist-scopes-declared: 0
- target: $.paths['/api/platform/investment/{external_id}/{alto_user_id}/distribution'].post
  update:
    x-apievangelist-consequence: physical
    x-apievangelist-note: >-
      Moves cash into an investor's IRA. Retryable 503 with no idempotency key —
      reconcile with getInvestment before any retry.
- target: $.paths['/api/platform/investment/{external_id}/{alto_user_id}/refund'].post
  update:
    x-apievangelist-consequence: physical
    x-apievangelist-note: Returns capital to the investor's IRA. No idempotency key.
- target: $.paths['/api/platform/investment/{external_id}/{alto_user_id}/issue_new_capital_call'].post
  update:
    x-apievangelist-consequence: physical
    x-apievangelist-note: >-
      Draws capital from the investor's IRA. Declares only a 200 response — no
      failure modes are documented.
- target: $.paths['/api/platform/investment/{external_id}/{alto_user_id}/cancel'].post
  update:
    x-apievangelist-consequence: write
    x-apievangelist-note: >-
      Returns 422 "Cannot cancel, please issue a capital_refund." once funds have
      already been sent. Branch to investmentRefund on that message.
- target: $.paths['/api/user'].get
  update:
    x-apievangelist-note: >-
      The ONLY source of current destination banking information for returning
      cash to an IRA. Alto maintains distinct bank accounts per IRA and offers no
      omnibus account, so this must be re-read before every refund or
      distribution.
- target: $.tags
  update:
  - name: handoffs
    x-apievangelist-note: >-
      Browser redirect targets for the investor, not callable API endpoints.
