Attribute descriptions added to the Available Coverages endpoint
3 days ago by Root Insurance
We've added human-readable descriptions to coverage attributes in the Available Coverages endpoint. This makes it easier to display helpful context to users when rendering a coverage selection UI.
Affected Endpoints
š What's New
Before: Coverage attributes only included kind, name, and selections -- no description text.
Now: Coverage attributes include a description field with human-readable text explaining the attribute type.
Sample Response
{
"availableCoverages": {
"policy": [
{
"symbol": "bi",
"attributes": [
{
"kind": "limits",
"name": "Limits",
"description": "This coverage has limits on the amounts that might be paid out in case of a claim",
"selections": [...]
}
]
}
]
}
}
Migration Notes
- No action required; this is a backward-compatible addition
- The
descriptionfield is nullable and may benullfor attributes without a configured description - These are the exact same descriptions weāre currently returning in the quote endpoints
