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).
