x-note: >-
  Non-destructive enhancements over the provider's published OpenAPI. Applying this overlay adds the
  discovery/provenance extensions, the rate-limit and error contract the spec describes in prose but
  does not model, and per-operation agent-access hints. It never alters the provider's own
  descriptions, schemas or paths.

  update:
    x-agentic-access: {action-class: connected, consequence: read}
    x-cacheable: >-
      Stable catalogue — cache client-side rather than re-fetching, since quota is counted per
      account.

  update:
    x-agentic-access: {action-class: connected, consequence: read}

  update:
    x-agentic-access: {action-class: acting, consequence: write}
    x-side-effects: none
    x-idempotent: >-
      Safe to retry — the operation persists nothing, though each attempt is billed against the
      account quota.

  update:
    x-agentic-access: {action-class: acting, consequence: write}

    x-idempotent: Safe to retry; persists nothing.

  update:
    x-note: >-
      Eight source datasets are enumerated in the contract — two more (Cnf, the Canadian Nutrient
      File, and Fineli, Finland) than the six named on the marketing surface.
