  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    The public Reload API — exactly the tool set agents call over MCP, exposed
    as REST and as generated TypeScript + Python SDKs. Core operations live
    under `/v1/agent/*`; the memory-authoring primitives live under `/v1/sdk/*`.
    Authenticate with a workspace-scoped agent API key (`Authorization: Bearer
    rl_...`).
