josant's answer works great. I did find it was a bit-over zealous however. I found it was reporting simple things like strings as models and reporting them to be a Char array with a length field!

We only needed this for models, so I added this code to the end of the GetModelDocumentation method:

if (parameterDescriptor.ParameterName == "value" || parameterDescriptor.ParameterName == "model")
{
    retDictionary.Add(parameterDescriptor.ParameterName, typeDocs);
}

Now it only returns parameter details for non-simple types.
