  "category": "protocols",
  "summary": "IETF Proposed Standard (June 2025) defining the /.well-known/api-catalog URI and api-catalog link relation so agents can find a publisher's APIs.",
  "description": "The catalog MUST be served as a Linkset (application/linkset+json, RFC 9264), ideally with the profile https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc9727. Entries typically link each API to its service-desc (e.g. an OpenAPI file), service-doc and service-meta. Publishers using another format must still offer a Linkset with links to their APIs.
