REST APIs are deceptively simple on the surface but notoriously inconsistent in practice — different teams implement auth, pagination, and error handling completely differently. AI tools struggle because there's no single 'correct' REST — every API is its own dialect. GraphQL and gRPC have stricter contracts which makes them easier for AI to reason about. The irony is that this inconsistency is also why REST APIs have so many security vulnerabilities — no standard means no standard security either.
What model are you using? I don't think I've encountered it before. But then again, as long as you explicitly instruct an AI to follow REST, it usually will.

I have been using VScode with GitHub AI assistant and I asked the AI many times to set up the REST API it did work
