# Your MCVE code here
import json
from typing import TypeAlias, Literal

from litestar import Controller, Litestar, get

AliasArg: TypeAlias = Literal[456]
type TypeArg = Literal[123]


class Test(Controller):
    @get(path="/test")
    async def test(self, alias_arg: AliasArg, type_arg: TypeArg) -> None:
        ...


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = Litestar(
        route_handlers=[Test],
    )
    print(json.dumps(app.openapi_schema.to_schema(), indent=4))

Output looks like:
