postman

postman is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Postman-Devrel/agent-skills. It costs 111 tokens per session (5,232 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Postman integration for managing an API's lifecycle, from OpenAPI specifications and generated client code to tests, mocks, documentation, and security checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps sync OpenAPI files, create collections, generate typed clients, run API tests, create mock servers, publish documentation, audit against the OWASP Top 10 security risks, and discover APIs in Postman workspaces. It requires the Postman MCP Server.
Why use it?
It brings common API work into one workflow instead of requiring separate manual steps across specifications, collections, testing, documentation, and security review.

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

postman scanned grade A with 2 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 3d 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.

Sends data to an external URLlowData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

curl -X POST https://<mock-id>.mock.pstmn.io/pets -d '{"name":"Buddy"}'

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Postman Agent Skill

Full API lifecycle management through the Postman MCP Server. Sync specs, generate code, run tests, create mocks, publish docs, and audit security.

Version: 2.0.1 Requires: Postman MCP Server

Prerequisites

This skill requires the Postman MCP Server to be configured. The MCP server exposes 111+ tools for interacting with Postman workspaces, collections, specs, environments, mocks, monitors, and more.

Setup check: Call getAuthenticatedUser via MCP. If it succeeds, you're connected. If it fails, walk through Setup below.

Important: MCP Tool Behavior

Before using the workflows below, be aware of these behaviors:

  • getWorkspaces returns ALL workspaces. For large organizations this can be 300KB+. If you already have a workspace ID, use getWorkspace(workspaceId) directly instead.
  • getCollection default response is a lightweight map with itemRefs (folder/request tree). This is efficient for discovery. Only use model=full when you need complete request/response bodies, and be aware it can exceed 300KB for large collections. Prefer targeted getCollectionRequest and getCollectionResponse calls for specific endpoints.
  • getTaggedEntities returns 404 for missing tags, not an empty array. Handle this gracefully. Tag functionality may require an Enterprise plan.
  • runCollection returns aggregate results only (total requests, passed, failed, duration). It does NOT return per-request detail or error messages. For debugging specific failures, examine individual requests with getCollectionRequest and getCollectionResponse after the run.
  • searchPostmanElements only searches the PUBLIC Postman network, not private workspaces. Always search private workspace first with getCollections.

Setup

If MCP tools are not available or getAuthenticatedUser fails:

  1. Get a Postman API key:

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.

postman is a skill published in the GitHub repository Postman-Devrel/agent-skills (16 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 111 tokens to every session and 5,232 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 2 findings (sends data to an external url, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
