Description

We have a rich integrations API which is used by the widgets, but we don't document any of it. Ideally this would land as a swagger-style schema driven thing to keep the overall cost of maintenance low.

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the integrations API used by the widgets and reviewing its existing surface, then determine the schema format and scope. Done means the widget-facing API is documented in a maintainable, schema-driven format.
