Where the points went

Every rule, heaviest first, with what it cost this document and how much of the surface it touched. Open a row for the locations.

  1. Successful responses declare a schema2.00.4 lost1 of 197 operations

    Without a response schema every method returns `unknown`/`any`, so callers get no types and no autocompletion.

    • GET /2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Recordings/{ReferenceSid}/AddOnResults/{AddOnResultSid}/Payloads/{PayloadSid}/Data.json `FetchRecordingAddOnResultPayloadData` declares no 2xx response at all.

    What this rule checks

  2. Shared models live in components and are $ref'd2.00.5 lost12 of 197 operations

    Inline object schemas become anonymous per-operation types. The same model inlined in 20 operations generates 20 near-identical types instead of one.

    • code, message, more_info, status An identical inline object (4 fields) appears in 2 operations. Move it to `components.schemas` and $ref it, or the SDK generates 2 separate types.
    • ApiVersion, FriendlyName, MessageStatusCallback, PublicApplicationConnectEnabled An identical inline object (16 fields) appears in 2 operations. Move it to `components.schemas` and $ref it, or the SDK generates 2 separate types.
    • available_phone_numbers, end, first_page_uri, next_page_uri An identical inline object (9 fields) appears in 7 operations. Move it to `components.schemas` and $ref it, or the SDK generates 7 separate types.
    • end, first_page_uri, next_page_uri, notifications An identical inline object (9 fields) appears in 2 operations. Move it to `components.schemas` and $ref it, or the SDK generates 2 separate types.
    • end, first_page_uri, next_page_uri, page An identical inline object (9 fields) appears in 3 operations. Move it to `components.schemas` and $ref it, or the SDK generates 3 separate types.

    What this rule checks

  3. Generated public names do not collide2.0Clean197 operations clean

    When authored identifiers collapse to the same shared public name, the generator must silently rename one method; callers otherwise cannot predict the SDK surface from the spec.

    What this rule checks

  4. Every path placeholder has a parameter1.5Clean197 operations clean

    An undeclared `{id}` placeholder cannot become a typed method argument, so the generated request path is incomplete or uncompilable.

    What this rule checks

  5. Every operation declares an operationId1.0Clean197 operations clean

    Without one the generator synthesizes a name from the path, which changes whenever the path does. That is a silent breaking change for callers.

    What this rule checks

  6. operationIds read as method names1.0Clean197 operations clean

    The id becomes the method name. `ActionsActionsGet` generates `client.actions.actionsActionsGet()`; `getActions` generates `client.actions.get()`.

    What this rule checks

  7. Operations carry a summary or description1.00.4 lost47 of 197 operations

    Operation prose becomes the method's doc comment, the text an IDE shows on hover.

    • POST /2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Addresses.json `CreateAddress` has neither summary nor description, so its generated method ships without documentation.
    • GET /2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Addresses.json `ListAddress` has neither summary nor description, so its generated method ships without documentation.
    • DELETE /2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Addresses/{Sid}.json `DeleteAddress` has neither summary nor description, so its generated method ships without documentation.
    • GET /2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Addresses/{Sid}.json `FetchAddress` has neither summary nor description, so its generated method ships without documentation.
    • POST /2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Addresses/{Sid}.json `UpdateAddress` has neither summary nor description, so its generated method ships without documentation.
    • 42 more, not listed here.

    What this rule checks

  8. Request bodies are documented1.00.2 lost5 of 197 operations

    Body field descriptions become the doc comments on generated parameters; without them the SDK ships undocumented arguments.

    • POST /2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Messages/{MessageSid}/Feedback.json `CreateMessageFeedback` has an undocumented request body, so every generated parameter for it will be comment-free.
    • POST /2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Calls/{CallSid}/Transcriptions/{Sid}.json `UpdateRealtimeTranscription` has an undocumented request body, so every generated parameter for it will be comment-free.
    • POST /2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/SigningKeys/{Sid}.json `UpdateSigningKey` has an undocumented request body, so every generated parameter for it will be comment-free.
    • POST /2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Calls/{CallSid}/Siprec/{Sid}.json `UpdateSiprec` has an undocumented request body, so every generated parameter for it will be comment-free.
    • POST /2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Calls/{CallSid}/Streams/{Sid}.json `UpdateStream` has an undocumented request body, so every generated parameter for it will be comment-free.

    What this rule checks

  9. Failure responses are declared1.01.0 lost195 of 197 operations

    Declared error schemas become typed errors. Without them every failure surfaces as an untyped generic error.

    • POST /2010-04-01/Accounts.json `CreateAccount` declares no 4xx/5xx or default response, so SDK users get no typed error for it.
    • GET /2010-04-01/Accounts.json `ListAccount` declares no 4xx/5xx or default response, so SDK users get no typed error for it.
    • GET /2010-04-01/Accounts/{Sid}.json `FetchAccount` declares no 4xx/5xx or default response, so SDK users get no typed error for it.
    • POST /2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Addresses.json `CreateAddress` declares no 4xx/5xx or default response, so SDK users get no typed error for it.
    • GET /2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Addresses.json `ListAddress` declares no 4xx/5xx or default response, so SDK users get no typed error for it.
    • 190 more, not listed here.

    What this rule checks

  10. Operations are tagged1.0Clean197 operations clean

    Tags drive namespacing. Untagged operations fall back to a path segment, producing lopsided or `misc` namespaces.

    What this rule checks

  11. No duplicate or equivalent paths1.0Clean121 paths clean

    Paths differing only in parameter NAME are the same route to a server; the generated SDK ends up with two methods that call the same endpoint.

    What this rule checks

  12. Authentication is described1.0CleanDeclared

    Security schemes generate the SDK's auth configuration. A spec without them produces a client with no way to authenticate.

    What this rule checks

  13. Parameters explain their purpose0.750.17 lost7 of 197 operations

    Parameter descriptions become IDE hints on generated method arguments; bare names force SDK users back to the API reference.

    • GET /2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/SigningKeys.json#path:AccountSid `AccountSid` has no description, so the generated argument has no IDE guidance.
    • GET /2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/SigningKeys/{Sid}.json#path:AccountSid `AccountSid` has no description, so the generated argument has no IDE guidance.
    • GET /2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/SigningKeys/{Sid}.json#path:Sid `Sid` has no description, so the generated argument has no IDE guidance.
    • POST /2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/SigningKeys/{Sid}.json#path:AccountSid `AccountSid` has no description, so the generated argument has no IDE guidance.
    • POST /2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/SigningKeys/{Sid}.json#path:Sid `Sid` has no description, so the generated argument has no IDE guidance.

  14. A server URL is declared0.5CleanDeclared

    Without a server URL the generated client must ship with an empty or placeholder base URL, adding setup work and easy production misconfiguration.

    What this rule checks

What 7.3 means for an SDK

A mixed reading, and the three rules that decide most of it.

The client compiles and works. Callers will feel the soft spots: a few methods that return an untyped value, arguments with no hint on them, a namespace or two named after a path segment rather than a resource.

Three rules carry six of the 10 points between them. On this document they took 0.91.

What to change first

Every rule that deducted, in the order they cost.

  1. Successful responses declare a schema

    Give the success response a schema, or a $ref to one in components. A 204 needs nothing. Inside Octri this one has a one-click fix.

  2. Shared models live in components and are $ref'd

    Move the shape into components.schemas once and $ref it from each operation that returns or accepts it.

  3. Operations carry a summary or description

    Write one sentence of summary. It lands on the reference page and in the SDK's doc comment. Inside Octri this one has a one-click fix.

  4. Request bodies are documented

    Describe the body, or the fields inside it. Field-level prose is the one that reaches the SDK's arguments. Inside Octri this one has a one-click fix.

  5. Failure responses are declared

    Declare the failures you actually return, or one `default` response carrying your error shape.

  6. Parameters explain their purpose

    Describe what the parameter does and what a valid value looks like. One line each. Inside Octri this one has a one-click fix.

The spec at raw.githubusercontent.comis public. Octri keeps the `info` block, the score, and up to five sample finding locations per rule. The document itself is not stored and is not served from here. The audit predicts what an SDK generator can do with the description; it is not a security review, an uptime measurement or a critique of the API’s design.
