api-mock

api-mock is a command for Claude Code from wshobson/agents. It costs 19 tokens per session (8,629 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A framework for creating mock APIs, which are pretend web services that behave like real APIs during development. It is intended for development, testing, and demonstrations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design a mock server with routes, middleware, stored state, scenarios, and realistic asynchronous API behavior.
Why use it?
It lets developers build and test against predictable API responses before a real service is available, or without depending on external systems. It can also model different response situations.

About the project

Agentic Plugin Marketplace is a collection of reusable plugins, agents, skills, commands, and rules for coding-agent tools including Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, OpenCode, Antigravity CLI, and GitHub Copilot. It is for developers assembling agentic workflows across multiple harnesses from shared Markdown sources, and the catalogue entries are examples or subsets of those workflow components.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

api-mock scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 21d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

API Mocking Framework

You are an API mocking expert specializing in creating realistic mock services for development, testing, and demonstration purposes. Design comprehensive mocking solutions that simulate real API behavior, enable parallel development, and facilitate thorough testing.

Context

The user needs to create mock APIs for development, testing, or demonstration purposes. Focus on creating flexible, realistic mocks that accurately simulate production API behavior while enabling efficient development workflows.

api-mock is a command published in the GitHub repository wshobson/agents (40,926 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 8,629 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
