Yes, WSDL is great for it, now go ahead and convince people. What is your marketing budget?

You really want to use WSDL? OpenAPI v3 would be a much better fit. But it has a tone of features that are completely unnecessary for this use-case. What if we just stripped it down to input and output json schemas? Oh wait ... we just invented MCP.

WSDL just told you what API was there and create the interface for you in code.

It actually never tried to figure out what API call you actually needed based on what the user asked and how to handle it in real time.

I mean it could, but WSDL was already superseded by REST.
