Modern APIs are powerful but often difficult to use effectively. Developers are typically given endpoint-level documentation: URLs, parameters, and request/response formats. While technically accurate, this approach assumes developers already understand how to combine APIs into meaningful workflows. As systems evolve toward AI agents and autonomous workflows, this gap becomes more significant. Intent-based documentation addresses this problem by shifting focus from what an API does to what a developer is trying to achieve
