api-discovery

api-discovery is a skill for Claude Code from Postman-Devrel/postman-claude-code-plugin. It costs 124 tokens per session (1,134 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An API and service lookup tool that searches saved Postman items and answers questions about services and their dependencies. Postman is a tool for describing, testing, and sharing web APIs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find requests, collections, specifications, mocks, or workspaces, and to ask what a service does or what depends on it.
Why use it?
It helps you avoid rebuilding an API that already exists and separates simple name searches from architecture questions about service connections.

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-discovery 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 1mo 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 — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

API Discovery

Overview

Two unconnected datasets, so pick by data source, not question shape:

  • search / context → Postman-authored artifacts someone saved in Postman (collections, requests, specs, mocks, workspaces). Matches text; doesn't reason. "Does something named/shaped like X exist?"
  • context-graph ask → a separately-populated engineering service graph (built from repo/traffic scanning, not Postman content) — natural-language Q&A over discovered services and the dependency edges between them. "What depends on billing-api?" — architecture questions search structurally can't answer, since there's no keyword for a dependency edge.

A miss in one says nothing about the other (see Critical Rule 1) — never fall back to the Context Graph just because a search came back empty, or vice versa.

search <type> <query> where type is requests, collections, workspaces, flows, specs, mocks, environments, or documents. Default --ownership organization only searches inside your org — pass external or all before concluding "no API for this exists," since a partner or public API published outside the org is invisible at the default scope. --filter "method=POST AND workspaceId=ws-123" narrows further; see reference/search_filters.md for the full filter field and operator syntax per element type.

context-graph

context-graph ask "<question>" --wait is the one to reach for interactively — it blocks and prints the answer. Without --wait, ask returns an id immediately and status <askId> checks on it later (exit code 3 while still running) — useful for a question expected to take a while, or from a script polling on its own cadence. The query runs against the team derived from the API key; there's no workspace/team selection. --max-steps caps how much reasoning the service does per question.

The answer is generated, not retrieved verbatim — verify with a re-ask or narrower query before acting on it for anything consequential (Critical Rule 3), the same way any AI-generated claim gets checked before it drives a decision.

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.
