  title: API Evangelist enhancements for the liars.town OpenAPI
  version: 1.0.0
extends: openapi/liars-town-openapi.yml

x-source: openapi/_original/liars-town-openapi.json
x-rationale: >-
  The provider's spec (https://liars.town/openapi.json, OpenAPI 3.1.0, 12 operations) is accurate but
  minimal: no operationIds, no tags, no error responses beyond a single 400 on /api/act, and no
  security on the two public plain-text operations. This overlay adds (1) stable operationIds so
  mcp/liars-town-tool-crosswalk.yml, skills/ and data-model/ can name operations, (2) tags grouping
  the four doors, (3) the error responses OBSERVED on live unauthenticated probes on 2026-09-19
  (401 {"error":"missing bearer token"} on every bearer operation, 404 {"error":"not found"} on
  GET /api/games/{id}, 400 {"error":"name required"} on POST /api/bots), and (4) a note on the
  robots.txt disallow for /join and /play. Nothing in the provider's document is altered; apply with
  any Overlay 1.0.0 processor.
