  Derived from openapi/partstech-api-openapi.yml (harvested verbatim from

  update:
    x-apievangelist-idempotency: >-
      Not supported. No Idempotency-Key header and no replay protection on POST /punchout/cart/submit,
      /punchout/cart/custom/order or /punchout/quote/create. A retried submit after a network timeout
      may place a duplicate wholesale order.
    x-apievangelist-reversibility: >-
      No cancel, void, return or refund operation exists anywhere in this contract. Cart composition is
      reversible via /punchout/cart/remove-parts; order placement is not reversible through the API.
- target: $.info
  update:
    x-apievangelist-domain-standards:
    - Auto Care Association VCdb (vehicle configuration) — /taxonomy/vehicles/*
    - Auto Care Association PCdb (product classification) — /taxonomy/categories, /taxonomy/part-types
    - AAIA brand identifiers — LocalInventoryItem.brandAAIAId
    - ISO 3779 VIN — /catalog/vin/{vin}
    - RFC 8288 Web Linking — pagination Link rels and MOTOR rel="compliance"
- target: $.paths['/punchout/cart/submit'].post
  update:
    x-apievangelist-consequence: high
    x-apievangelist-note: >-
      Places real orders with real wholesale suppliers against the shop's supplier accounts. There is no
      reversal operation. Call POST /punchout/cart/availability first — it is the only rehearsal this
      API offers.
- target: $.paths['/punchout/cart/custom/order'].post
  update:
    x-apievangelist-consequence: high
    x-apievangelist-note: >-
      Same irreversibility as submitCart. Pair with POST /punchout/cart/custom/availability.
- target: $.paths['/local-inventory'].post
  update:
    x-apievangelist-consequence: high
    x-apievangelist-note: >-
      Full REPLACE of a supplier's local inventory. No snapshot, no restore, no undo. Use PUT
      /local-inventory for an incremental update instead when the intent is not a wholesale replacement.
- target: $.paths['/catalog/search'].post
  update:
    x-apievangelist-note: >-
      Marked deprecated:true in the contract with no named successor. This is the primary parts-search
      operation; integrators should confirm the replacement with PartsTech-Partner-API@oeconnection.com
      before building on it.
- target: $.paths['/oauth/refresh'].post
  update:
    x-apievangelist-note: >-
      Deprecated. Generate a new token via POST /oauth/access after expiry instead of refreshing.
- target: $.paths['/our-auto-connect-callback'].post
  update:
    x-apievangelist-consequence: high
    x-apievangelist-note: >-
      This callback delivers a shop's PartsTech Username and API Key to the partner endpoint. Treat the
      receiving URL as a secret sink: TLS only, no logging of the body, no third-party proxies.
