Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned terminalskills/skills at 4c3aaa7c21.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The api-tester skill allows AI agents to send requests to APIs and analyze the responses. It can execute API calls with various methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) and validate response status codes and body contents against expected values. This enables automated testing and verification of API functionality directly within an agent's workflow.

When to use it

  • Automated Regression Testing: Regularly test APIs after code changes to ensure existing functionality remains intact.
  • Integration Verification: Confirm that different systems or services communicate correctly via their APIs.
  • Data Validation: Check if API responses contain the expected data and adhere to defined schemas.
  • Workflow Automation: Integrate API testing into a larger automated workflow, such as deployment pipelines.

Key capabilities

  • Supports various HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
  • Response status code validation
  • Body content validation against expected values

Example prompts

  • "Test the /users endpoint with a GET request and verify that the response status is 200."
  • "Send a POST request to /orders with the following JSON payload: { "item": "widget", "quantity": 10 } and check if the response contains an 'order_id'."
  • “Use a PUT request to update user ID 123, ensuring that the status code is 204.”

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires knowledge of API endpoints, HTTP methods, expected data formats, and validation criteria. Ensure the AI agent has access to the necessary API keys or credentials for authentication if required.
