+REST APIs for CLAMP Automation Compositions
+###########################################
+
+
+Commissioning API
+=================
+
+This API is a CRUD API that allows Automation Composition Type definitions created in a design
+environment to be commissioned on the CLAMP runtime. It has endpoints that allow Automation
+Composition Types to be created, read, updated, and deleted.
+
+The body of the create and update end points is a TOSCA Service/Topology template that
+defines the new or changed Automation Composition Type. The update and delete endpoints take a
+reference to the Automation Composition Type. The incoming TOSCA is verified and checked for
+referential integrity. On delete requests, a check is made to ensure that no Automation
+Composition Instances exist for the Automation Composition Type to be deleted.
+
+.. swaggerv2doc:: swagger/acm-comissioning.json
+
+
+Instantiation API
+=================
+
+The instantiation API has two functions:
+
+#. Creation, Reading, Update, and Deletion of Automation Composition Instances.
+#. Instantiation and lifecycle management of Automation Composition Instances on participants.
+
+The Instantiation API is used by the CLAMP GUI.
+
+Instantiation Automation Composition Instance CRUD
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+This sub API allows for the creation, read, update, and deletion of Automation Composition
+Instances. The endpoints for create and update take a JSON body that describes the Automation
+Composition Instance. The endpoints for read and delete take a Automation Composition Instance
+ID to determine which Automation Composition Instance to act on. For the delete endpoint, a check
+is made to ensure that the Automation Composition Instance is not instantiated on participants.
+
+A call to the update endpoint for a Automation Composition Instance follows the semantics described
+here: :ref:`4.1 Management of Automation Composition Instance Configurations
+<management-acm-instance-configs>`.
+
+.. swaggerv2doc:: swagger/acm-instantiation.json
+
+
+Instantiation Automation Composition Instance Lifecycle Management
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This sub API is used to manage the lifecycle of Automation Composition Instances. An Automation
+Composition Instance can be in the states described here: :ref:`2.1 Automation Composition Instance
+States <acm-instance-states>`. Managing the lifecycle of an Automation Composition Instance amounts
+to steering the Automation Composition through its states.
+
+The sub API allows upgrades and downgrades of Automation Composition Instances to be pushed to
+participants following the semantics described here: :ref:`4.1 Management of Automation Composition
+Instance Configurations <management-acm-instance-configs>`. When the API is used to update the
+participants on a Automation Composition Instance, the new/upgraded/downgraded definition of the
+Automation Composition is pushed to the participants. Note that the API asks the participants in an
+Automation Composition Instance to perform the update, it is the responsibility of the participants
+to execute the update and report the result using the protocols described here: :ref:`CLAMP
+Participants <clamp-acm-participants>`. The progress and result of an update can be monitored
+using the :ref:`Monitoring API <monitoring-api>`.
+
+The sub API also allows a state change of an Automation Composition Instance to be ordered. The
+required state of the Automation Composition Instance is pushed to participants in an Automation
+Composition Instance using the API. Note that the API asks the participants in an Automation
+Composition Instance to perform the state change, it is the responsibility of the participants to
+execute the state change and report the result using the protocols described here: :ref:`CLAMP
+Participants <clamp-acm-participants>`. The progress and result of a state change can be monitored
+using the `Monitoring API <monitoring-api>`.
+
+.. warning::
+   The Swagger for the Instantiation Lifecycle Management API will appear here.
+
+.. _monitoring-api:
+
+Monitoring API
+==============
+
+The Monitoring API allows the state and statistics of Participants, Automation Composition
+Instances and their Automation Composition Elements to be monitored. This API is used by the CLAMP
+GUI. The API provides filtering so that specific Participants and Automation Composition Instances
+can be retrieved. In addition, the quantity of statistical information to be returned can be
+scoped.
+
+.. swaggerv2doc:: swagger/acm-monitoring.json
+
+Pass Through API
+================
+
+This API allows information to be passed to Automation Composition Elements in an Automation
+Composition.
+
+.. warning::
+   The requirements on this API are still under discussion.
+
+.. warning::
+   The Swagger for the Pass Through API will appear here.
+
+
+Participant Standalone API
+==========================
+
+This API allows a Participant to run in standalone mode and to run standalone Automation
+Composition Elements.
+
+Kubernetes participant can also be deployed as a standalone application and provides REST endpoints
+for onboarding helm charts to its local chart storage, installing and uninstalling of helm charts
+to a Kubernetes cluster. It also allows to configure a remote repository in Kubernetes participant
+for installing helm charts. User can onboard a helm chart along with the overrides YAML file, the
+chart gets stored in the local chart directory of Kubernetes participants. The onboarded charts can
+be installed and uninstalled. The GET API fetches all the available helm charts from the chart
+storage.

+
+
+Participant Simulator API
+=========================
+
+This API allows a Participant Simulator to be started and run for test purposes.
