Postman

ai-readiness

Scores a Postman collection or an OpenAPI spec for how well an AI agent can discover, understand, call, and recover from errors with it — missing examples, undocumented errors, and ambiguous parameters all cost points. Use when the user asks "is my API agent-ready," "can AI agent

api-discovery

Discover and use APIs from the web or Postman. Find and integrate public third-party APIs with Orbit, locate Postman entities with search, and use the Context Graph to investigate dependencies, ownership, runtime behavior, and change impact across an API ecosystem.

api-documentation

Generate filesystem-first agent friendly api documentation that you can share with your teammates without hassle. Use when the user asks to "publish API docs," "generate documentation for this API," "put this on the API Network," "share a docs link for this collection or spec," o

api-engineer

Makes coding agents faster and more accurate with fewer tokens when designing, implementing, mocking, testing, monitoring, documenting, or deploying an API.

api-mocking

Stands up a fake backend that behaves like a real API — from a collection or an OpenAPI spec, running locally or pushed to a workspace and deployed at a durable URL — plus request-time scenario and status-code overrides for testing failure paths. Use when the user asks to "mock t

api-monitoring

Creates, schedules, and manages Postman Monitors — recurring checks against a live API — triggers ad hoc runs, inspects job/run history to diagnose failures, and hosts self-hosted execution runners for monitors on a private network. Use when the user asks to "set up a monitor," "

api-simulation

The local development loop for a service that calls other APIs — find its dependencies in the code and the Context Graph, give each one a mock (the owning team's, or one generated from its contract), serve them together from one `.sim.yaml` on one port, run the real service again

api-testing

Runs tests against an API from the command line — a single ad-hoc request, a full collection of pm.test assertions, or matching real captured app traffic against a collection contract. Use when the user asks to "test this endpoint," "run this collection," "check the API still wor

bootstrap

Resolves the Postman CLI, authenticates when the task needs it, and manages the filesystem/workspace binding for a repository. Use when the user asks to set up Postman, enable filesystem workflows, authenticate, initialize, import, connect, pull, push, sync, or share a workspace

ci-integration

Common CI integrations that can added as independent pass/fail gates. Use when the user asks to "add Postman to CI," "run this collection on every PR," "fail the build on a governance violation," or "push to the postman cloud workspace after merge to main", "add some api related

collection-schema-v3

The reference for the git-native v3 collection file format — one YAML file per request/folder/example under postman/collections/, plus postman/environments/. Read before writing, editing, or generating any file in either directory by hand, or before debugging a `collection lint`

datasets

Query CSV and JSON files, spreadsheet exports, and live databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, or anything with a JDBC driver JAR) as one SQL surface; join across them; save a query as a named view so it can be rerun without re-pasting the SQL; then drive a collection run one
