Indeed, it sounds like there was a bit of a problem "between keyboard and chair" when it came to the Postman / Paw user with whom you interacted.
I had good success, just recently, using Paw to knock out the broad strokes an OpenAPI description, including indications of integer, string, boolean, date, etc. After I got the hang of thinking in terms of OpenAPI, I converted the JSON to YAML and started fine-tuning and DRY'ing the description in Emacs.
I would still use Paw as an exploratory tool — it's not perfect, but I find it more convenient than maintaining a collection of scripts and snippets to experiment with API input/output. Next time I need to write an OpenAPI description, though, if I can't auto-generate it from the server code (that was the case recently), I'll just author it by hand. It's not too big of a chore when done in YAML format, with the help of "feedback loops" per ReDoc[1] and Swagger Editor[2].
