modbender API Health Checker
A skill that enables Claw to test API endpoints, verify their responses, measure performance, and generate a health report.
What This Skill Does
This skill provides a systematic API testing and monitoring workflow:
- Endpoint Testing — Send HTTP requests (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to specified API endpoints
- Response Validation — Check status codes, response times, and response body structure against expected values
- Authentication Support — Handle API keys, Bearer tokens, and basic auth headers
- Performance Measurement — Record response times and flag slow endpoints
- Health Report — Generate a comprehensive report summarizing the status of all tested endpoints
How to Use
Provide API endpoints and Claw will test them:
- "Check if https://api.example.com/v1/status is responding correctly"
- "Test all endpoints in this API and report which ones are failing"
- "Monitor these 5 endpoints and tell me their average response times"
- "Verify that the /users endpoint returns a JSON array with the expected fields"
Configuration
You can specify:
- Endpoints — A list of URLs to test
- Expected status codes — What HTTP status each endpoint should return (default: 200)
- Timeout — Maximum wait time per request (default: 10 seconds)
- Headers — Custom headers including authentication tokens
- Request body — For POST/PUT requests
Output
The health report includes:
- Status Summary — Total endpoints tested, passed, failed, and timed out
- Per-Endpoint Details — URL, method, status code, response time, and pass/fail result
- Performance Metrics — Average, min, max, and p95 response times
- Recommendations — Suggestions for endpoints that are slow or returning errors
