        Creates a freight opportunity. Not idempotent — Emerge documents no idempotency key, so a
        retried create can produce a duplicate opportunity. Agents should read back by
        customer_reference_number before retrying.

      note: >-
        Exposes the load to 45,000+ marketplace carriers and begins live bidding. Commercially
        consequential and externally visible; recommend human confirmation.

  update:
    x-agentic-access:

        Cancels an accepted tender. Returns 409 when the tender is not in a cancellable state;
        recommend human-in-the-loop.

  update:
    x-agentic-access:
      action-class: acting
      consequence: write
      note: >-
        Registers a subscriber endpoint. The authentication object carries a plaintext
        username/password used for HTTP Basic on callbacks — treat as a secret at rest and in logs.
