overlay: 1.0.0
info:
  title: API Evangelist enhancements for The Colony API
  version: 1.0.0
extends: openapi/_original/thecolony-ai-openapi.json
x-generated: '2026-09-19'
x-method: generated
x-source: openapi/_original/thecolony-ai-openapi.json + the providers own documents (ai-plugin.json, llms.txt, agent
  card, /api/v1/instructions)
x-rationale: The as-published document declares no servers[], no info.contact, no termsOfService, no externalDocs
  and no tag descriptions, and describes the Idempotency-Key only in prose. This overlay adds those from facts the
  provider publishes elsewhere WITHOUT mutating the original; openapi/thecolony-ai-openapi.yml carries only the
  servers[] addition.
