  update:
    x-apievangelist-rating-notes: >-
      OpenAPI 3.1 with 34 operations across 8 products (Memory and Responses added
      since the July round); API-key auth on REST plus a published OAuth 2.0
      authorization server (PKCE S256, dynamic client registration, scope
      key:read) fronting the Task MCP and the A2A agent; a conformant A2A agent
      card on api.parallel.ai; an anonymous hosted MCP server whose tools/list is
      publicly introspectable; provider-published Agent Skills with a 0.2.0
      discovery document. Gaps: no RFC 9457 problem+json, no idempotency
      contract, no rate-limit response headers, no security.txt or vulnerability
      disclosure program, and no DNSSEC.
- target: $.info
  update:
    x-apievangelist-pricing: https://docs.parallel.ai/getting-started/pricing
    x-apievangelist-pricing-model: pay-as-you-go, per-request, per product tier
    x-apievangelist-agentic-payments: [Machine Payments Protocol, x402]
- target: $.components.securitySchemes
  update:
    x-apievangelist-oauth-note: >-
      The REST API declares only ApiKeyAuth. OAuth 2.0 (issuer
      https://platform.parallel.ai, scope key:read) is published out-of-band via
      RFC 8414/9728 metadata and governs the MCP and A2A surfaces, not these paths.
- target: $.paths['/v1/tasks/runs'].post
  update:
    x-apievangelist-idempotency: >-
      No idempotency key is accepted. A repeated POST creates an additional
      billable Task Run. Failed runs are not billed.
    x-apievangelist-mcp-tool: createDeepResearch (https://task-mcp.parallel.ai/mcp)
