Beyond OpenAPI: API Workflows That AI Agents Can Actually Execute
summary
Arazzo 1.1 delivers a machine-readable workflow spec that agents execute deterministically rather than inferring sequences from OpenAPI. It adds AsyncAPI support for send/receive channels with correlation IDs and timeouts, chained workflow composition for retries and cross-workflow calls, and a new selector object supporting JSONPath and XPath (defaults: RFC9535 and XPath 3.1). Tooling already exists—editors, validators, executors—and 1.2 plans SOAP, function transforms and “actor in the loop.”
