+## Service Introspection
+
+It is recommended for services to provide a special getMethods runtime introspection of the service’s available RPC calls.
+A client may invoke it at any time to discover supported methods, required parameters, possible results, and error conditions.
+
+### Request
+
+A getMethods request is a standard Request Event (kind: 22068) with:
+
+```
+["p", "<callee_pubkey>"]
+["method", "getMethods"]
+```
+
+No additional ["param", ...] tags are required.
+
+### Response
+
+The callee returns a Response Event (kind: 22069) with status 200.
+Supported methods are described in repeated result tags using the following schema:
+
+```
+["result", "method", "<method_name>"]
+
+["result", "param", "<param_name>", "<param_type>", "<required_flag>"]
+["result", "return", "<field_name>", "<field_type>"]
+["result", "error", "<status_code>", "<description>"]
+```

 ## TODO
 
 Work out a protocol, for encrypted requests and responses, it will be similar to NIP-17 using NIP-59 Giftwraps, but an implementation is still WIP.
