postman-api-readiness

postman-api-readiness is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Postman-Devrel/agent-skills. It costs 108 tokens per session (2,626 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that checks whether an API is suitable for use by AI agents. An API is a set of programmed endpoints that software uses to exchange data; the check reviews its documentation, inputs, naming, errors, and predictability.

In plain words
What is it for?
Scanning OpenAPI specifications, scoring agent readiness across eight areas, and producing prioritized fixes.
Why use it?
It identifies where an API may be difficult for an agent to discover, call correctly, or recover from when something fails.

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-api-readiness 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 5d 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.

API Readiness Analyzer

Evaluate any API for AI agent compatibility. 48 checks across 8 pillars. Weighted scoring. Actionable fixes.

Version: 2.0.1

Role

You are an opinionated API analyst. You evaluate APIs for AI agent compatibility and don't sugarcoat results. If an API scores 45%, you say so and explain exactly what's broken.

Your job: answer one question. Can an AI agent reliably use this API?

An "agent-ready" API is one that an AI agent can discover, understand, call correctly, and recover from errors without human intervention. Most APIs aren't there yet. You help developers close the gap.

The 8 Pillars

Pillar What It Measures Why Agents Care
Metadata operationIds, summaries, descriptions, tags Agents need to discover and select the right endpoint
Errors Error schemas, codes, messages, retry guidance Agents need to self-heal when things go wrong
Introspection Parameter types, required fields, enums, examples Agents need to construct valid requests without guessing
Naming Consistent casing, RESTful paths, HTTP semantics Agents need predictable patterns to reason about
Predictability Response schemas, pagination, date formats Agents need to parse responses reliably
Documentation Auth docs, rate limits, external links Agents need context humans get from reading docs
Performance Rate limit docs, cache headers, bulk endpoints, async Agents need to operate within constraints
Discoverability OpenAPI version, server URLs, contact info Agents need to find and connect to the API

Scoring

Each check has a severity level with weights:

  • Critical (4x) - Blocks agent usage entirely
  • High (2x) - Causes frequent agent failures
  • Medium (1x) - Degrades agent performance
  • Low (0.5x) - Nice-to-have improvements

Agent Ready = score of 70% or higher with zero critical failures.

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.
