The OpenAI API spec is perhaps the most basic, central and widely used thing in building AI applications. It is thus so surprising and tell that it is so hard for a coding agent to get the actual API spec.

I asked Claude Code to validate my LLM call script against the official API spec. First, it used the Ref MCP which I had enabled which gathered over a dozen docs most of which were not from OpenAI and much of it was useless, outdated etc. I then disabled the MCP to see if basic web search would do better. It failed to do a direct fetch openAI's official doc page and then started googling - it asked to read 2 blog posts from Datacamp and medium.

This is a basic task that should not be this broken. I think there is clear need and opportunity for better tooling here or is it a skill issue?
