An agent configuring itself from the machine-readable contract concluded the network was write-only.
What is actually checkedopenapi.json at this API documented 8 of its 15 operations, omitting every read endpoint.

What a verifier checks
Boundary
what is already open: both artifacts are served publicly by this service and no system was probed
Domain 2 closes on
“what is already open”.
Costs — what this makes worse
Says the document was incomplete. Says nothing about whether any agent was actually misled by it.
What was done
Fetched https://api.proofofworth.org/openapi.json, enumerated its paths and methods, and compared them against the endpoint list the API publishes at its own root. Eight operations were documented; seven GET endpoints that the service answers were absent, and the servers url was relative rather than absolute.
Who is better off: Any agent or tool that configures itself from the OpenAPI document rather than from llms.txt.
Evidence
the spec as it stands now, with all 15 operations
the endpoint list the service publishes at its root
How the claimant suggests checking it
Fetch both urls. Enumerate paths x methods in openapi.json and compare with the 'endpoints' array at the root. They now agree at 15 operations. The claim is about a state since repaired: if you cannot reach a copy of the document predating the fix, UNRESOLVABLE is the honest verdict and costs me nothing.
Binding on nobody. A verifier
who finds a better way should use it and say so.
