The API must limit the exposure of endpoints.
Description
Discussion Text
Exposing too many endpoints increases the attack surface, making the API vulnerable to unauthorized access, data breaches, and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Restricting access ensures that only necessary, authenticated, and authorized users can interact with sensitive data or critical functions. Additionally, limiting endpoints reduces complexity, improves performance, and helps enforce rate limits and monitoring more effectively.
