Live repository

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 laurigates/claude-plugins at 45d1d7dcf6.

    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

This API testing skill enables AI agents to execute automated tests against RESTful services, validating endpoints and verifying responses. It allows agents to interact with backend systems directly to ensure functionality and data integrity without manual intervention.

When to use it

  • Validating that new API endpoints return the correct status codes and JSON payloads after deployment.
  • Running regression tests on existing services before pushing code changes to production environments.
  • Verifying authentication flows and permission checks by simulating user requests against protected resources.
  • Debugging integration failures by programmatically inspecting request headers and response bodies.

Key capabilities

  • Automated execution of test cases against defined API specifications.
  • Validation of HTTP status codes, headers, and response body content.
  • Support for various authentication methods to access secured endpoints.
  • Structured reporting of test results to identify failures quickly.

Example prompts

  • "Run the full test suite against our user registration endpoint and report any 401 or 500 errors."
  • "Verify that the /api/v2/inventory endpoint returns the correct product count when queried with a specific region filter."
  • "Execute a smoke test on the payment gateway API to ensure transaction processing is functioning after the latest update."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has valid credentials and proper network access before attempting to connect to production APIs. Always define clear success criteria for response validation to avoid false positives during automated runs.
