Hi Ryan
Just posting the official response from TM Forum Legal:
Yes, you can publish a Rust library created to interact with a TM Forum API under the IPR Policy. The IPR Policy explicitly states that it "will not inhibit the traditional open and free access to the TM Forum Deliverables" and that members "agree that they will not assert any claims, demands, causes of action, suits, or proceedings" against the TM Forum. Additionally, the IPR Policy allows for the creation of derivative works as long as the copyright notice and references to the TM Forum are not removed. Finally, the IPR Policy provides instructions for applying the Apache 2.0 License to a TM Forum API Deliverable, which would allow for the publication of a Rust library.
The TM Forum IPR policy can be found here. The Apache license can be found here.

If you are concerned about TM Forum intellectual property rights in the API signatures, it would be best to take it up with TMF management.
In general, TMF published assets (such as API swaggers, user guides, etc.) are freely available to member organizations and their employees. But I don't know if the terms allow wider circulation.

Team TMF,
I have been writing a Rust library to interact with TMF APIs for my own purposes to make creating micro-services based on TMF APIs easier.
I would like to publish this on crates.io (Rusts library repository) but I'm concerned about any license or property rights.
Does anyone know if this is ok to do?
