/// tip

Some editors check for unused function parameters, and show them as errors.

Using these `dependencies` in the *path operation decorator* you can make sure they are executed while avoiding editor/tooling errors.

It might also help avoid confusion for new developers that see an unused parameter in your code and could think it's unnecessary.
