# Personal AI Infrastructure — API Module

**Version**: v1.1.9 | **Status**: Active | **Last Updated**: March 2026

## Overview

The API module provides REST API framework, endpoint routing, request/response handling, and API documentation generation for exposing codomyrmex capabilities as web services.

## PAI Capabilities

- REST API endpoint definition and routing
- Request validation and response serialization
- API documentation auto-generation (OpenAPI/Swagger)
- Rate limiting and request throttling
- Authentication middleware integration

## Key Exports

| Export | Type | Purpose |
|--------|------|---------|
| API framework | Various | Endpoint routing and middleware |
| Documentation generators | Various | OpenAPI spec generation |

## PAI Algorithm Phase Mapping

| Phase | API Contribution |
|-------|-------------------|
| **BUILD** | Generate API endpoints from specifications |
| **EXECUTE** | Serve API requests for agent-consumed services |
| **VERIFY** | Validate API contract compliance |

## Architecture Role

**Service Layer** — Consumes `auth/` (authentication), `serialization/` (request/response), `validation/` (input validation). Exposed by `model_context_protocol/` HTTP transport.

## MCP Tools

This module does not expose MCP tools directly. Access its capabilities via:
- Direct Python import: `from codomyrmex.api import ...`
- CLI: `codomyrmex api <command>`
