**Short answer.** An OpenAPI 3.1 document needs `openapi`, `info`, and `paths`. Each path lists operations with parameters, a request body, and responses; schemas use full JSON Schema 2020-12.

## Example

```yaml
openapi: 3.1.0
info: { title: Wiki API, version: 1.0.0 }
servers: [{ url: https://example.com }]
paths:
  /api/v1/pages/{slug}:
    get:
      operationId: getPage
      parameters: [{ name: slug, in: path, required: true, schema: { type: string } }]
      responses:
        '200': { description: Page, content: { application/json: { schema: { $ref: '#/components/schemas/Page' } } } }
        '404': { description: Not found }
components:
  schemas:
    Page: { type: object, required: [slug, content], properties: { slug: { type: string }, content: { type: string } } }
```

## Details

- 3.1 differences from 3.0: `nullable` is gone (use `type: [string, 'null']`), `examples` replaces `example`, webhooks are supported.
- Agents use `operationId` as the tool name; make them verbs.
- Serve it at `/openapi.json` and advertise it with an `.well-known/api-catalog` linkset or a `Link: rel="service-desc"` header.
