title: API Evangelist enhancements to the Cisco Crosswork Workflow Manager contract
version: 1.0.0
x-generated: '2026-08-19'
x-method: generated
x-source: openapi/_original/cisco-crosswork-cwm-workflow-manager-openapi.json
x-note: >-
This overlay records, as an auditable diff, every change API Evangelist made when turning Cisco's published
Crosswork Workflow Manager 2.1 reference into the refined openapi/cisco-crosswork-cwm-*-api-openapi.yml
documents. It exists so the enhancements can be reviewed, replayed or rejected independently of the harvest.
The harvested document itself is never mutated.

Stamp provenance. Records that Cisco authored the contract, that API Evangelist harvested it, when, and how —
reconstructed from the per-operation Swagger 2.0 fragments Cisco serves behind the DevNet reference renderer
rather than from a downloadable spec file, because Cisco publishes none for CWM.

Add termsOfService as a resolvable URL. Cisco's own document sets info.termsOfService to the bare string
"www.cisco.com", which is not a URI and will not resolve for a consumer.

termsOfService: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/about/legal/terms-conditions.html

Convert Swagger 2.0 to OpenAPI 3.2.0 — definitions to components.schemas, body parameters to requestBody,
formData parameters to a multipart requestBody, response schema to content-keyed media types, and
securityDefinitions to components.securitySchemes. No semantics are added or removed.

Express Cisco's basePath as a servers[] entry, annotated to say what it is relative to. Crosswork is
customer-deployed, so the host is genuinely unknown to the publisher; the annotation says so rather than
inventing one.

Synthesise an operationId where Cisco's source omits one. 8 of the 90 operations ship without an operationId,
which makes them unaddressable by every downstream tool; the synthesised value is derived deterministically
from method plus path so it is stable across re-harvests.

Apply the declared Bearer security scheme to every operation. Cisco declares the scheme globally but attaches
it to no operation, so a generated client would emit unauthenticated calls against an API where every call
requires a JWT.
update:
security:
- Bearer: []

Split the single 90-operation document into one document per tag (16 files), carrying only the schemas each tag
transitively references. Matches the one-API-per-resource shape the rest of this repo uses.

x-split-by: tag
