ci: gate undocumented POST routes in the proxy OpenAPI document

[devin-ai-integration]

TLDR

Problem this solves:

• A POST route whose handler reads request.body() shows up in Swagger UI with no request schema, no description and an empty 200
• Nothing in CI noticed, which is how /v1/decisions and /v1/systemone shipped that way (fixed in docs(proxy): describe /v1/decisions and /v1/systemone in Swagger UI #45838)

How it solves it:

• scripts/check_openapi_docs.py walks app.openapi() and reports every POST operation missing one of the three (OA001 body, OA002 description, OA003 200 schema)
• scripts/openapi_docs_gate.py counts those per rule at HEAD and at the merge-base, same ratchet as the other four gates, so a new undocumented route fails and existing ones may only shrink
• Wired into make lint (so make check), the test-linting.yml python job and the base-counts publisher

Targets main; #45838 (the documented decision routes the gate was written against) is merged

Also drops the unused TypeIs import in litellm/proxy/_types.py that was failing ruff on main and blocking this PR's lint job

User Flow

Before: an engineer adds a raw-body POST route and nobody finds out it is undocumented until a user opens Swagger

1. They add @router.post("/v1/new_thing") with async def new_thing(request: Request) and open a PR
2. make check and the lint CI job pass
3. A user opens https://litellm-domain/ and sees POST /v1/new_thing with no description, no request body and 200 Successful Response with no schema

After: the same PR fails lint and names the route and what it is missing

1. They add the same route and open a PR
2. make check and the lint CI job fail with OA001 ... POST /v1/new_thing, OA002 ..., OA003 ... and a one-paragraph hint on how to document it
3. They add a request model, a docstring and response_model (or responses={200: ...}), the gate passes, and Swagger shows the full operation

Pre-Submission checklist

• I have added meaningful tests
• The handful of test files covering my change pass locally, e.g. uv run pytest tests/unit/<your_test_file>.py -v. Leave the suites (make test-unit-*, make test-unit) to CI: it finishes in ~15 minutes where a laptop takes an hour or more
• My PR passes all required CI/CD checks (e.g., lint, schema.d.ts sync check, etc.)
• My PR's scope is as isolated as possible; it only solves 1 specific problem
• I have received a Greptile Confidence Score of at least 4/5 before requesting a maintainer review (Greptile reviews automatically once the PR is opened; only comment @greptileai to re-request a review after pushing changes)

Screenshots / Proof of Fix

Probe route appended to litellm/proxy/proxy_server.py for both runs, then reverted:

@app.post("/v1/gate_probe", dependencies=[Depends(user_api_key_auth)])
async def gate_probe(request: Request):
    return await request.body()

Before (cbd81cc)

Undocumented route added

1. ls scripts/openapi_docs_gate.py
2. ls: cannot access 'scripts/openapi_docs_gate.py': No such file or directory, nothing in make lint looks at the OpenAPI document, so the probe route passes lint

After (d27236e)

Clean tree

1. uv run --no-sync python scripts/openapi_docs_gate.py --base litellm_decisions_swagger_docs
2. OK: no OA rule grew past its merge-base count (base litellm_decisions_swagger_docs) (35 s wall clock for the HEAD and merge-base measurements together)

Undocumented route added

1. uv run --no-sync python scripts/openapi_docs_gate.py --base litellm_decisions_swagger_docs
2. Output, exit 1:

FAIL: OA-rule totals grew past their merge-base count (base litellm_decisions_swagger_docs):
  OA001: total 183 over ceiling 182 (this change added 1)
    POST /v1/gate_probe
  OA002: total 46 over ceiling 45 (this change added 1)
    POST /v1/gate_probe
  OA003: total 235 over ceiling 234 (this change added 1)
    POST /v1/gate_probe
Give every new POST route a request body schema (a typed body parameter, or `openapi_extra={'requestBody': inline_request_body(Model, example)}` when the handler reads `request.body()`), a docstring, and a 200 schema (`response_model=` or `responses={200: {'model': ...}}`), or document an equal number of existing routes; the ceiling is the merge-base count. Run `python scripts/check_openapi_docs.py` to see every finding.

Full finding list

1. uv run --no-sync python scripts/check_openapi_docs.py | cut -d' ' -f3 | sort | uniq -c
2. 182 OA001, 45 OA002, 234 OA003 across 352 POST operations, the baseline the ratchet starts from

Type

🚄 Infrastructure

Caveats (if any)

Medium

• 267 of 352 POST operations are already undocumented, the gate only stops that number growing

Low

• The gate imports the proxy app, about 15 s per measurement, cached per merge-base like the other gates
• The lint job installs the proxy extra for this step only, the other gates keep the smaller install
• Only POST is gated, GET and DELETE operations have no request body to miss
• The failure message names a route only when its path literal appears in lines the diff added

Final Attestation

• The tests check the right things, including the edge cases, and regressions in the respective real-world customer use-cases are not possible after this PR

Confidence Score: 2/5

[High impact] Adds a new lint gate that runs during CI and blocks merges.

Fix the missing proxy install and the checks that reject valid documented routes before merging.

Findings

1.  Clean runners cannot run gate ▶
2.  Documented uploads fail lint ▶
3.  Documented creation routes fail lint ▶

Summary

Adds a count-based gate for POST request schemas, descriptions, and response schemas.

• Lint now catches growing gaps in POST route docs.

devin-ai-integration[bot] explicitly notes that route names are only reported when their path literals appear on added lines. That limitation was not reported again.

[greptile-apps]

Clean runners cannot run gate

The new gate imports the proxy, but this install does not select --extra proxy. proxy_server requires apscheduler, which uv.lock includes only through that extra. On a clean runner, the checker fails during import before comparing any counts.

Add the proxy extra to this install and the Python job's install in test-linting.yml. Ensure the local gate target installs it too.

[greptile-apps]

Documented uploads fail lint

_json_schema only accepts application/json, so OA001 rejects a fully documented multipart or form request. The proxy already uses this pattern in create_file, with UploadFile = File(...) and Form(...) parameters. Adding another documented upload route increases the count and fails lint even though Swagger shows its request schema.

Check schemas under the supported content types rather than requiring JSON.

[greptile-apps]

Documented creation routes fail lint

OA003 requires a 200 schema even when a POST documents a different success status. For example, create_user has a typed request, a description, and response_model=SCIMUser with status_code=201. A new route following that pattern still increases OA003 and fails lint.

Accept the route's documented success response instead of requiring a response it never returns.
