Path descriptions explain the chained query parameters and actions like mark_sent but rarely say when to use one route over another. The error docs are a generic status-code table, although Laravel's 422 responses name the field, so the useful detail goes undocumented. The info block says 5.12.55 while the app is at 5.13.43, which makes a reader wonder how stale the paths are. Each path does carry curl and PHP examples. Three, because the spec is large and has examples, but its constraints live in prose.",
