🎯 Usage

1. Parse OpenAPI Specification

Parse this OpenAPI spec: https://api.example.com/openapi.json

Or paste the spec directly:

Parse this OpenAPI spec:
{
  "openapi": "3.0.0",
  "info": { "title": "My API", "version": "1.0.0" },
  ...
}

2. List API Endpoints

List all endpoints from the parsed spec

3. Test an Endpoint

Test the GET /users endpoint with authentication header

Claude will use the test_api_endpoint tool:

GET https://api.example.com/users
Headers: { "Authorization": "Bearer token" }

4. Generate SDK

Generate a TypeScript SDK from the parsed spec

Claude will create a fully-typed client library:

export class MyAPIClient {
  async getUsers(config?: RequestConfig): Promise<User[]> {
    // Auto-generated implementation
  }
}

5. Generate Documentation

Generate markdown documentation for this API

6. Create Mock Data

Generate 5 mock user objects based on this schema:
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "name": { "type": "string" },
    "email": { "type": "string" },
    "age": { "type": "number" }
  }
}

headersNoOptional: Common headers for all requests
filterByTagNoOptional: Only test endpoints with this tag

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden and largely fails: it does not say whether mutating endpoints (POST/PUT/DELETE) are actually executed, how auth is supplied, whether failures abort the batch or are collected, or whether requests are rate-limited. For a tool that fires many live HTTP calls, that is a material gap.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two short sentences, front-loaded with the action and resource, with the batch scope before the use case. No filler or redundancy.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

No output schema and no annotations, yet the description never explains what a batch run returns (per-endpoint results? aggregate pass/fail?) or how a partially failing batch behaves. For a multi-request network tool, the definition is under-specified despite complete parameter docs.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so every parameter (spec, baseUrl, headers, filterByTag) is already documented in the schema. The description adds nothing about parameter behavior (e.g. how filterByTag selection interacts with the spec, or precedence of baseUrl), so the baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('Test multiple API endpoints from an OpenAPI spec') plus the scope modifier 'in batch', which implicitly separates it from the sibling test_api_endpoint. It never names that sibling, so differentiation is inferable rather than explicit.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

'Useful for smoke testing or API health checks' gives a use context, but offers no when-not guidance, no prerequisites, and no routing against test_api_endpoint, the obvious singular alternative. Usage is implied rather than prescribed.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

generate_api_docsB

Generate markdown documentation from an OpenAPI specification. Creates human-readable API documentation with examples.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
specYesOpenAPI specification as JSON string
includeExamplesNoInclude request/response examples (default: true)

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden, and it does disclose the output artifact: markdown, human-readable, with examples. However it says nothing about invalid-spec handling, whether output is returned or written to disk, or size limitsβ€”gaps that matter for a generator with no annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two short sentences, front-loaded with the core action. The second sentence partially restates the first ('documentation' vs 'human-readable API documentation') rather than adding new information, which is minor waste.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple two-parameter tool with no output schema and full schema coverage, the description covers input source and output format adequately. It stops short of describing error behavior or the markdown structure, but nothing essential to invoking it correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so both parameters are already documented in the schema, making 3 the baseline. The description's mention of examples loosely reinforces includeExamples but adds no syntax, format, or defaulting detail beyond the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb ('Generate') and resource ('markdown documentation') plus the input source ('OpenAPI specification'). It is clear in isolation, but it never distinguishes itself from sibling tools like parse_openapi or generate_sdk, which operate on the same spec artifact.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no guidance on when to choose this over generate_sdk, parse_openapi, or generate_mock_data, all of which consume an OpenAPI spec. No prerequisites (e.g., spec must be valid, use validate first) are given.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

generate_mock_dataC

Generate mock data based on a JSON schema or OpenAPI schema definition. Useful for testing and development.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
countNoNumber of mock objects to generate (default: 1)
schemaYesJSON Schema or OpenAPI schema object

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden, yet it discloses nothing about determinism (are repeated runs identical?), whether output is written anywhere or purely returned, or how nested/complex schema features are handled. For a tool taking a nested-object schema parameter, that is a meaningful gap.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two short sentences with the core capability front-loaded. The second sentence is mild filler but does not obscure the purpose, so size is appropriate.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

A two-parameter tool with no output schema, so the description should convey at least the shape of what comes back (e.g., an array of count objects). It is minimally viable but leaves return format and nested-schema handling unstated.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so both `count` (with default) and `schema` are already documented in the schema. The description only restates that the input may be a JSON Schema or OpenAPI schema, adding no format, version, or constraint detail beyond the schema itself.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb (generate) and resource (mock data) plus the input domain (JSON Schema or OpenAPI schema definition). It is clearly distinguishable from siblings like generate_sdk or parse_openapi, but it never explicitly names or contrasts with them.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

"Useful for testing and development" is a generic audience statement, not guidance. It does not say when to prefer this over batch_test_endpoints or generate_sdk, nor does it state any prerequisite (e.g., that a schema must already be parsed or valid).

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

generate_sdkC

Generate a client SDK in TypeScript, Python, JavaScript, or Go from an OpenAPI specification. Creates ready-to-use client libraries with type safety.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
specYesOpenAPI specification as JSON string
languageYesTarget language for SDK generation
clientNameNoOptional: Custom client class name

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are supplied, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It hints that the result is a 'ready-to-use' typed client, but never says whether files are written to disk, a code string is returned, or what the generation cost/side effects are.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two tight sentences, front-loaded with the core action and input source. The second sentence is mildly redundant but does add the type-safety value proposition, so little waste overall.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The schema is small and fully documented, and no output schema exists, so return-value details are not strictly required. Still, for a generation tool with no annotations, the absence of any statement about output form or side effects leaves a meaningful gap.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% and every parameter is documented in the schema, so the schema does the heavy lifting. The description's language enumeration merely restates the enum and adds no syntax or format guidance beyond it.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses a specific verb (Generate) plus resource (client SDK) and names the exact input (OpenAPI specification) and supported languages. It is easy to distinguish from siblings like generate_api_docs or parse_openapi, though it does not explicitly say how it differs from them.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no statement of when to use this tool versus alternatives such as parse_openapi or generate_api_docs, and no prerequisites are mentioned. The agent must infer the use case entirely from the purpose sentence.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

list_endpointsA

Extract and list all API endpoints from a previously parsed OpenAPI specification. Returns all paths, methods, summaries, and operation IDs.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
specYesOpenAPI specification as JSON string
filterByTagNoOptional: Filter endpoints by tag
filterByMethodNoOptional: Filter endpoints by HTTP method (GET, POST, etc.)

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It does disclose the return content (paths, methods, summaries, operation IDs) and its read-only nature is clearly implied by 'list', but it says nothing about pagination, ordering, or behavior when the spec contains no endpoints.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two tight sentences with no filler; the purpose and the source-of-input constraint are front-loaded. It is appropriately sized for a simple list tool, though the second sentence could arguably fold into the first.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema, the description sensibly enumerates what is returned, and all three parameters are covered by schema descriptions. For a simple read-only listing tool, this is nearly complete, missing only edge-case behavior such as empty or malformed specs.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all three parameters including the two optional filters. The description adds no parameter-level detail (e.g., tag matching semantics or method case-sensitivity) beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description gives a specific verb ('Extract and list') and resource ('API endpoints'), and it names the input source ('a previously parsed OpenAPI specification'), which implicitly distinguishes it from the sibling parse_openapi. It stops short of explicitly contrasting itself with other siblings like generate_api_docs or test_api_endpoint.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The phrase 'from a previously parsed OpenAPI specification' implies the prerequisite that parse_openapi must run first, which is useful sequencing context. However, there is no explicit when-to-use vs. when-not guidance, and it does not name any alternative sibling tool for related needs.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

parse_openapiB

Parse and validate an OpenAPI/Swagger specification from JSON/YAML string or URL. Returns detailed information about the API including endpoints, methods, and schemas.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
inputYesOpenAPI spec as JSON/YAML string, or a URL to fetch the spec from
isUrlNoWhether the input is a URL (default: false)

TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It discloses that the tool validates and returns detailed information including endpoints, methods, and schemas, but it does not describe error handling for invalid specs, whether URL fetching has network or timeout implications, or any other side effects. The behavioral disclosure is adequate but incomplete.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences that are front-loaded with the core purpose and input forms, followed by a clear statement of return content. Every sentence earns its place with no wasted words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given a simple two-parameter tool with no output schema or annotations, the description sufficiently explains what the tool does and what it returns. It does not clarify validation error behavior or how it relates to sibling tools, but the essential information for correct invocation is present.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so both parameters (input and isUrl) are fully documented in the schema. The description's mention of 'JSON/YAML string or URL' aligns with the schema but adds no new syntactic or semantic detail, making the baseline of 3 appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses specific verbs (parse, validate) and names the resource (OpenAPI/Swagger specification) and input forms (JSON/YAML string or URL). It clearly distinguishes the tool from generators like generate_sdk or testers like test_api_endpoint, but does not explicitly name or differentiate from any sibling tool, keeping it at a 4.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description states what the tool does but provides no guidance on when to use it versus alternatives such as list_endpoints or generate_sdk. There are no exclusions or conditions that would help an agent choose this tool over its siblings.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

test_api_endpointB

Execute an API request and test an endpoint with optional validation. Returns response status, data, timing, and validation results.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYesFull URL to test
bodyNoOptional request body (for POST, PUT, PATCH)
methodYesHTTP method
paramsNoOptional query parameters
headersNoOptional HTTP headers
timeoutNoRequest timeout in milliseconds (default: 30000)
expectedStatusNoExpected HTTP status code for validation

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It usefully discloses the return shape (status, data, timing, validation results), which compensates for the missing output schema, but it never warns that non-idempotent methods (POST/PUT/DELETE) execute real requests with side effects, nor mentions auth or rate limits.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two tight sentences, front-loaded with the action and followed by the return summary. No filler, though the return-value sentence could be trimmed since it is generic to any HTTP client.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a 7-parameter tool with nested objects, no annotations, and no output schema, the description covers the return values adequately but omits security/permission context and side-effect warnings that an agent invoking DELETE or POST against a live endpoint would need.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so every parameter is already documented, setting the baseline at 3. The description only adds the loose 'optional validation' hint tied to expectedStatus and does not clarify body/method interactions beyond what the schema states.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('Execute an API request and test an endpoint'), which is clear and actionable. However, it does not differentiate itself from close siblings like batch_test_endpoints or validate_api_response, leaving the agent to infer the single-call scope.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The phrase 'optional validation' hints that expectedStatus drives validation, but there is no explicit when-to-use guidance, no prerequisite information (auth, credentials), and no routing toward the sibling tools for batch or response-only validation scenarios.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

validate_api_responseC

Validate an API response against an OpenAPI schema definition. Checks if the response matches the expected schema.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
schemaYesExpected OpenAPI schema
responseYesAPI response data to validate

TDQS

C2.8/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It says the tool 'checks' a match but never states what the result looks like (boolean, error list, path-level failures), how strict or partial schema matching is, or what happens when validation fails β€” all material for a validator.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

It is short and front-loaded, which is good, but the second sentence ('Checks if the response matches the expected schema') is a near-tautological restatement of the first. One sentence would have carried the same information without bloat.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema and no annotations, the description is the only place to learn what the tool returns, yet it says nothing about the validation result format. For a nested-object, two-required-parameter validator, a caller needs to know whether failures are reported as paths, messages, or a boolean.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so both required parameters ('schema' and 'response') are already documented in the schema itself. The description adds nothing about the shape or depth of the nested OpenAPI schema accepted, so it does not go beyond structured data.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description names a specific verb and resource combination: validate an API response against an OpenAPI schema. An agent can tell what the tool does at a glance. However, it offers no differentiation from siblings like test_api_endpoint or batch_test_endpoints, whose purposes overlap with response checking.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no statement of when to use this tool versus test_api_endpoint or batch_test_endpoints, both of which plausibly involve validating responses. No prerequisites, no exclusions, no context about when schema validation is the right choice over live endpoint testing.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have distinct purposes: SDK generation, doc generation, validation, batch testing, parsing, listing, single endpoint testing, and mock data. However, test_api_endpoint and batch_test_endpoints overlap in testing functionality, and validate_api_response and test_api_endpoint both involve validation, which could cause slight confusion.

Naming Consistency4/5

Tool names are mostly in snake_case with a verb_noun pattern (generate_sdk, generate_api_docs, validate_api_response, etc.). One deviation is parse_openapi (verb_noun but noun is OpenAPI rather than a typical object) and list_endpoints, but overall consistency is high.

Tool Count5/5

With 8 tools, the count is well-scoped for an API toolkit. Each tool corresponds to a distinct, useful operation in the API development lifecycle, and there is no apparent redundancy.

Completeness4/5

The toolkit covers parsing, listing, testing (single and batch), validation, SDK generation, documentation, and mock data. It misses operations like comparing specs, transforming specs, or generating server stubs, but these are minor gaps for a client-side API toolkit.
