Obtain the operation-specific body and output schema from the schema endpoint first. Mutation side effects and replay/idempotency behavior are defined by that primitive; Idempotency-Key is made available to implementations that support it. ## OpenAPI ````yaml post /primitives/{name}/invoke openapi: 3.0.0 info: title: Gratona API description: >- REST API for the Gratona fundraising platform, including donor, donation, sponsorship, program, event, and integration workflows.
