I would prefer API over resource because it is more universal. For example, the protocol could also be used to create resources.

Point taken, but this isn’t meant to be an exhaustive list of what it can do, merely the list of things we’re positive we want it to do. I also prefer “API” over “resource”, but concede that “resource” can be a writeable thing too. Even then I’m happy to tweak the language here.
