skip_cache returns endpoint description instead of data

Hello, thank you for the amazing work on this plugin, I’m just having a small problem where I’m trying to call my API without the cached response for a staging site.

However, I’m running into a strange error where using this parameter causes the request to fail.

I have a custom endpoint, declared (for example) like so:

add_action( 'rest_api_init', function () {
  register_rest_route( 'my_custom_example/v1', '/test_endpoint', array(
    'methods' => 'GET',
    'callback' => 'my_custom_test',
  ) );
});

If i call the endpoint, domain.com/wp-json/my_custom_example/v1/test_endpoint, it works, but if I call domain.com/wp-json/my_custom_example/v1/test_endpoint?skip_cache=1, I get the following response:

{“namespace”:”my_custom_example\/v1″,”methods”:[“GET”],”endpoints”:[{“methods”:[“GET”],”args”:[]}],”_links”:{“self”:”https:\/\/domain.com\/wp-json\/my_custom_example\/v1\/test_endpoint”}}

Adding a / after between the URL and the param causes the regular cached data to return.

It seems like some sort of routing issue, but I’m not sure how to proceed.
