  version: 1.0.0

x-generated: '2026-09-12'
x-method: generated
x-source: >-
  Derived from the API Evangelist enrichment pass of 2026-09-12 over
  openapi/_original/harness-apis-openapi.yaml (Harness's own bundle, fetched from
  https://apidocs.harness.io/_bundle/index.yaml). This overlay records OUR annotations; it
  never mutates the provider's document.
actions:
  - target: $.info
    description: >-
      Record provenance and the cross-cutting artifacts derived from this contract, so a
      consumer applying the overlay gets the runtime semantics alongside the operations.

    description: >-
      Surface the published platform rate limits, which are documented on the developer hub
      but not represented anywhere in the contract itself.
    update:
      x-rate-limits:
        source: https://developer.harness.io/harness-platform/use-harness-platform/rate-limits
        per_ip: 5000 requests / 10 seconds

        retry_after_header: >-
          Documented, but Harness states it is not supported by the Google Cloud Armor
          layer enforcing the IP limit. Back off on the status code.
  - target: $.components.securitySchemes['x-api-key']
    description: >-
      Add the token format and the RBAC permission model, which the scheme description
      omits. Knowing the token shape lets a client validate a key before spending a call.
    update:
      x-token-format: <prefix>.<accountId>.<tokenId>.<secret>
      x-token-kinds: [PAT, SAT]
      x-authorization-model: rbac-permissions

      x-permission-count: 194
  - target: $.paths['/pipeline/api/pipeline/execute/{identifier}'].post
    description: >-
      Annotate the pipeline-run operation with its reversal path and consequence class.
      This is the single highest-consequence write in the contract and nothing in the spec
      says how to take it back.
    update:
      x-agentic-access:
        action-class: acting
        consequence: write
        escalation:
          human-in-the-loop: required

        rollback: triggerRollbackV3
        precondition: checkIfInstanceCanBeRolledBack
      x-idempotency: >-
        None. A repeated call starts a second execution. No Idempotency-Key is accepted on
        this operation.
  - target: $.paths['/ng/api/organizations/{identifier}'].delete
    description: Mark the irreversible configuration deletes so an agent gates them on a human.
    update:
      x-agentic-access:
        action-class: acting
        consequence: delete
        escalation:
          human-in-the-loop: required
      x-reversibility:
        reversal: none
        note: No restore operation exists for an organization. Hard delete.
  - target: $.paths['/cf/admin/features/{identifier}/restore'].post
    description: Record that the feature-flag delete is reversible, which is the exception rather than the rule here.
    update:
      x-reverses: DeleteFeatureFlag
      x-reversibility:
        kind: restore
        window: not stated by the provider
