Api Discovery
by postmanlabs67cff8f385d8No licenseListed Oct 8, 2026Updated Oct 8, 2026
Finds what APIs, collections, specs, or requests already exist before building something new, and answers questions about how they relate. Use when the user asks "does an API for X already exist," "what depends on this service," "what does this API do," or before scaffolding anything that might already have a Postman equivalent. Covers `postman search`, `postman context-graph`, and `postman context instructions discovery`. Reach for `search` when you know roughly what you're looking for by name; reach for the Context Graph when the question is about relationships, not names.

Performance Testing
postmanlabs
Runs Postman collection load tests with virtual users, load profiles, and pass/fail thresholds.
Flows
postmanlabs
Operate Postman Flows from the CLI: list, run, trigger, deploy, update, and debug flows and their runs.
Ci Integration
postmanlabs
Adds Postman CLI checks as separate pass/fail gates in a CI pipeline.
Api Testing
postmanlabs
Runs tests against an API from the command line — a single ad-hoc request, a full collection of pm.test assertions, or matching real captured app traffic against a collection contract. Use when the user asks to "test this endpoint," "run this collection," "check the API still works," or "verify my app's requests match the contract." Covers `postman request`, `postman collection run`, and `postman application test`. Depends on bootstrap when the target is a cloud collection or workspace-bound environment; a bare URL or local collection needs nothing from bootstrap.
Api Monitoring
postmanlabs
Creates, schedules, and manages Postman Monitors — recurring checks against a live API — triggers ad hoc runs, inspects job/run history to diagnose failures, and hosts self-hosted execution runners for monitors on a private network. Use when the user asks to "set up a monitor," "run this monitor now," "check monitor results," "pause/resume a monitor," or "set up a runner for our internal APIs." Covers `postman monitor` (create, update, delete, list, get, pause, resume, run, jobs, runs) and `postman runner` (start, list, regions).
Api Mocking
postmanlabs
Creates and runs fake API backends locally or in the cloud, with scenario and status-code overrides for testing.
