*"If a human can call your API, an AI agent should be able to call it too - with the same security and no additional infrastructure."*
:::

## OpenAPI Compatibility

UTCP extends OpenAPI for AI agents while maintaining full backward compatibility. Where OpenAPI describes APIs for human developers, UTCP adds agent-focused enhancements: `tags` for categorization, `average_response_size` for resource planning, multi-protocol support (CLI, gRPC, WebSocket), and direct execution instructions. Existing OpenAPI specs can be automatically converted to UTCP manuals without requiring API changes or additional infrastructure.

## Quick Start (5 Minutes)

### 2. Expose Your First Tool

Add a discovery endpoint to your existing API:
**Option A: Discovery via existing OpenAPI spec**

**Generate OpenAPI endpoint**: `GET http://api.github.com/openapi.json`


**Option B: Add a discovery endpoint to your existing API**

**Add endpoint**: `GET /utcp`
**Return your UTCP manual**:

### 3. Call Your Tool

**Configure UTCP client**:
**Option A: Configure UTCP client**:
```json
{
"manual_call_templates": [{
"name": "weather_api",
"call_template_type": "http",
"url": "http://localhost:8000/utcp",
"url": "http://localhost:8000/utcp", // Or http://api.github.com/openapi.json, the openapi spec gets converted automatically
"http_method": "GET"
}]
}
```

**Option B: Convert OpenAPI spec to UTCP manual manually**

```python
async def convert_api():
async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
async with session.get("https://api.github.com/openapi.json") as response:
openapi_spec = await response.json()

converter = OpenApiConverter(openapi_spec)
manual = converter.convert()

print(f"Generated {len(manual.tools)} tools from GitHub API!")
return manual
```

Then save that to a text file and load it with the text configuration:
```json
{
"manual_call_templates": [{
"name": "github_manual",
"call_template_type": "text",
"file_path": "./github_manual.json",
}]
}
```


**Call the tool**:
1. Initialize UTCP client with configuration
2. Discover tools from weather API
