Standardize REST API error responses by enforcing RFC 9457 Problem Details for all API errors, which provides a consistent schema to prevent divergent API contracts and reduce integration friction across services.

Cursor-based pagination is enforced as the default for public REST API endpoints to ensure consistent data retrieval. It prevents performance issues associated with offset pagination and maintains a standardized API design across multi-tenant services.

Implement tenant isolation by extracting tenant context exclusively from verified JWT claims rather than URL paths. This approach standardizes multi-tenant REST API security and prevents context leakage across different services.

API versioning via URL path is required for breaking changes, while additive changes require no version bump. This standardizes REST API evolution and prevents integration friction across multi-tenant services.

Generate and validate OpenAPI specifications directly from codebases to ensure a single source of truth for REST API design. This prevents divergent API contracts during implementation and API design reviews.

Apply consistent REST API design standards across multiple services by enforcing uniform error handling, pagination, versioning, and tenant isolation. This prevents divergent API contracts and reduces integration friction in multi-tenant environments.
