When
parameter_examples is set to true, the enrichment process inspects
existing path and query parameters, including parameters defined at both the path
level and the operation level, resolving any local $ref references.
For each parameter that does not already have an example, the system applies the
following rules:- Derive example values using heuristics
- For
integerparameters, the example value is1. - For
stringparameters with aformat:date, the example value is2024-01-01. - Other types follow similar simple heuristics.

Skip sensitive parameter names
Parameters that contain authentication-related substrings such as
auth,token,secret, orpasswordare excluded from example generation. -
Do not overwrite existing examples
The system does not replace any
examplefields that already exist at the parameter level or schema level.
