- Actions in Overlay, such as updating enum values and adding properties like StructuredDebtorReference, can be applied to enhance API descriptions.
- Overlay streamlines the process of editing API descriptions in line with regulations like PSD2 to improve developer experience and compliance.
- The ability of Overlay to automate changes based on defined policies enhances the efficiency of managing and updating API descriptions.
- Overlay's application extends beyond open banking to other industry standards like healthcare, enabling a systematic approach to API description refinement.
- Future enhancements to Overlay could involve automated operations for tasks like removing orphaned objects in API descriptions.
