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 failed 2 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 2 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: api.apollographql.com, rover.apollo.dev.

    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.

About this skill

What it does

The rover skill enables AI agents to interact with and manage GraphQL APIs, including schema validation, query execution, and API testing. It provides tools for developers to ensure their GraphQL APIs are functioning correctly and efficiently.

When to use it

  • Testing a GraphQL API's response to various queries before deployment.
  • Validating that a new schema adheres to expected standards and conventions.
  • Debugging issues with query execution or schema mismatches in a development environment.

Key capabilities

  • Schema validation for GraphQL APIs
  • Query execution against a GraphQL endpoint
  • API testing and debugging tools

Example prompts

  • "Run a test query on the GraphQL API at https://api.example.com/graphql."
  • "Validate the schema of my new GraphQL service."
  • "Debug why this query is failing: { user(id: 1) { name } }"

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure your GraphQL endpoint is accessible and properly configured before using this skill.
  • Some advanced features may require additional setup or dependencies, such as a local GraphQL server.
