Generates REST API tests using RestAssured or MockMvc with loop prevention and incremental validation. Triggers on: "test API endpoints", "generate API tests", "test REST API", "create integration tests".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# REST API Test Generator
## Instructions
### Step 1: API Discovery
Ask the user:
1. Which endpoint? (e.g., `POST /api/users`)
2. Framework? (RestAssured, MockMvc)
3. Authentication? (Bearer token, Basic auth, none)
4. Test environment? (Mock server, local, staging)
5. Request body example and expected response codes
Provide an upfront estimate: **15-20 credits per test scenario**.
### Step 2: Generate 3 Scenarios Per Batch
Generate exactly 3 test scenarios:
1. **Success case** (e.g., 201 Created)
2. **Validation error** (e.g., 400 Bad Request)
3. **Business logic error** (e.g., 409 Conflict, 404 Not Found)
Use RestAssured template:
```java
@Test
void shouldCreateUser_whenValidRequest() {
given()
.contentType(ContentType.JSON)
.body(validUserRequest)
.when()
.post("/api/users")
.then()
.statusCode(201)
.body("id", notNullValue())
.body("email", equalTo("test@example.com"));
}
```
**STOP after 3 tests.** Ask the user to run and confirm responses match.
### Step 3: Validation Gate
Validation command:
```bash
python scripts/validate_api_tests.py <TestClassName> --base-url http://localhost:8080
```

How to install
mdr add timwukp/agent-skills-best-practice/rest-api-test-generator@sha256:82d5c60ed999abdfThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
