### Documentation Context Assessment
|
||||
|
||||
Initialize API documentation by understanding API structure and needs.
|
||||
|
||||
Documentation context query:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"requesting_agent": "api-documenter",
|
||||
"request_type": "get_api_context",
|
||||
"payload": {
|
||||
"query": "API context needed: endpoints, authentication methods, use cases, target audience, existing documentation, and pain points."
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
