Contract-First APIs in the Age of AI Agents

Session details and resources for API Conference New York 2026: Contract-First APIs in the Age of AI Agents.

📅 September 28, 2026
🕐 TBA EDT

AI agents are becoming first-class API consumers and far less forgiving than humans. Today, contract-first design isn’t just a best practice; it’s the only way to keep your APIs discoverable, predictable, and safe for autonomous orchestration.

This session focuses on how OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, and domain‑level contracts support agent‑ready systems by enabling unambiguous interfaces and encoded intents. We will detail how to build governance pipelines for scalable teams and provide a blueprint for making APIs legible to humans and machines.
