    Hey HN, we’re building an open specification that lets agents discover and invoke APIs with natural language, built on the OpenAPI standard. agents.json clearly defines the contract between LLMs and API as a standard that's open, observable, and replicable. Here’s a walkthrough of how it works: https://youtu.be/kby2Wdt2Dtk?si=59xGCDy48Zzwr7ND. There’s 2 parts to this: 1. An agents.json file describes how to link API calls together into outcome-based tools for LLMs. This file sits alongside an OpenAPI file. 2. The agents.json SDK loads agents.json files as tools for an LLM that…

    Hey, I'm Martyn and I recently joined Zuplo. OpenAPI is a huge part of what we do, but getting a document up to scratch out of the gate, especially if you're not super well versed in the actual specification and what you should use and when. So we built a suite of tools to help with this called Rate My OpenAPI. It will score your OpenAPI document out of 100, as well as giving you individual scores in 4 key areas; completeness, SDK generation, security and documentation. Along with the score, you also get details of what the issues, or errors are, as well as guidance on what they actually…

    Hi Hacker News! My name is Sagar, I’m working on a startup called Speakeasy - we’re making all APIs self-service. The platform is currently in beta, but we’re independently launching this tool which you can use to generate language-idiomatic, statically-typed TS SDKs from any public OpenAPI schemas. We hope to continue iterating on this to give devs a way to easily generate high fidelity client SDKs for all the major languages. Inspiration for this product is from past experiences struggling with OpenAPI. I was originally optimistic about using the OpenAPI tools to build out our offering,…
