testing

A set of rules for writing and changing automated tests in a codebase that uses Vitest and MSW. Vitest runs tests, while MSW simulates network responses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or modifying tests, changing tool inputs or outputs, and checking validation, request construction, responses, errors, and security cases.
Why use it?
It helps tests follow the project’s expected structure and check application behaviour rather than testing the external service itself.

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

testing scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 2d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 66 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Testing

Framework: Vitest + MSW (Mock Service Worker). Tests mirror source structure under test/tools/<category>/.

Core principle: Test our application logic (request construction, response processing, input validation, error handling), not the API itself.

Test File Template

import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';
import { myNewToolTool } from '../../../src/tools/category/myNewTool.js';
import { snapshotTest } from '../../helpers/snapshotTest.js';
import { setupTestEnvironment } from '../../helpers/testEnvironment.js';
import { server } from '../../setup.js';
import { http, HttpResponse } from 'msw';

describe('myNewTool', () => {
  const getSpy = setupTestEnvironment(); // Sets AIC_BASE_URL, spies on makeAuthenticatedRequest

  // 1. Snapshot test (required for every tool)
  it('should match tool schema snapshot', async () => {
    await snapshotTest('myNewTool', myNewToolTool);
  });

  // 2. Request construction — verify URL, scopes, method, body via spy
  describe('Request Construction', () => {
    it('constructs correct URL', async () => {
      await myNewToolTool.toolFunction({ param1: 'value' });
      const [url, scopes, options] = getSpy().mock.calls.at(-1)!;
      expect(url).toBe('https://test.forgeblocks.com/your/api/endpoint');
      expect(scopes).toEqual(['fr:idm:*']);
    });
  });

  // 3. Response handling — use server.use() to provide MSW responses
  // 4. Input validation — test Zod schemas directly
  // 5. Error handling — override handlers with error responses
});

Section Ordering

  1. Snapshot Test
  2. Request Construction
  3. Response Handling
  4. Input Validation
  5. Error Handling

Complex orchestration tools add "Application Logic" after snapshot tests.

Security Tests

Always include for tools that accept user input:

  • Path traversal prevention for ID parameters (schema.parse('../etc/passwd') should throw)
  • Query injection prevention for user-provided filter strings

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

testing is a skill published in the GitHub repository pingidentity/aic-mcp-server (2 stars, last pushed 28d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 558 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
