x-method: generated
x-source: openapi/faa-safety-assurance-system-api-openapi.yml
x-note: >-
  Non-destructive enhancements only. The harvested FAA spec is never mutated. The
  most important thing this overlay adds is a real server URL — the spec ships
  servers[0].url of "/", which makes it unusable as published.

  update:
    title: FAA Safety Assurance System (SAS) API
    description: >-
      Submits passenger discrepancy reports — including hazardous materials found in
      passenger baggage — into the FAA Safety Assurance System. The harvested spec
      carries only the title "sas-api" and no description.

      The Discrepancy schema carries passenger full name, postal address, city, state,
      zip, country, phone, email and PNR locator. This is the most PII-dense schema in
      the FAA public estate.

    description: >-
      External production entrypoint published in the FAA Gravitee portal catalog.
      REPLACES the spec's servers[0].url of "/", which resolves to nothing.

    description: Internal entrypoint published in the portal catalog. Not externally reachable.
- target: $.paths['/axhsubmitdiscrepancies'].post
  update:
    operationId: submitDiscrepancies
    summary: Submit passenger discrepancy reports
    description: >-
      RECOMMENDED. The harvested operation declares no operationId and no summary, so
      no generated client, tool or agent skill can name it. operationId
      submitDiscrepancies is proposed here; it is NOT present in the FAA spec and must
      not be treated as one.
    x-proposed: true
    x-agentic-access:
      action-class: acting
      consequence: write
      audit: required
      human-in-the-loop: required
    x-idempotency: >-
      NONE. No idempotency key. A retry after a timeout may import duplicate
      discrepancy records; the response reports totalDiscrepanciesImported but offers
      no way to reconcile a partial submission.
    x-error-contract: >-
      Only 200 is declared. Failure is signalled INSIDE the 200 body via errorMessage
      and discrepanciesImportedWithErrors, so a client must inspect the payload rather
      than the status code.
- target: $.security
  update:
  - apiKey: []
    appId: []
  x-note: >-
    RECOMMENDED. Two apiKey securitySchemes (X-API-KEY, X-APP-ID) are DEFINED in
    components but never APPLIED — the spec declares no root or operation-level
    security, so tooling reads the API as unauthenticated.
