I built an open-source API verification tool for AI-written integrations — looking for technical feedback

Reddit r/AI_Agents Tools

Summary

An open-source developer tool called Kaktoos is introduced to verify AI-written API integrations against OpenAPI contracts, with features like workflow execution and MCP exposure, seeking feedback on its practicality.

I've been building an open-source developer tool called Kaktoos. I'm exploring a specific problem with AI coding agents: they can write API integrations very quickly, but when the agent also writes the tests, passing tests don't necessarily prove that the integration matches the actual API. Kaktoos takes a different approach: AI agent → integration code → Kaktoos → OpenAPI contract + real API → structured failure → agent fixes it It can: execute multi-step API workflows verify responses against OpenAPI detect things like missing required fields, wrong types, unexpected status/content type expose the verification through MCP so coding agents can use it run the same verification in GitHub Actions The interesting part for me isn't the API client itself. I'm experimenting with whether independent verification is useful when the code was produced by an AI coding agent. I'd particularly like feedback from people who regularly work with API integrations: Would you actually use this workflow? Is defining the scenario too much additional work? Does this catch problems that your existing tests don't? Would you run something like this in CI? What would make this technically more useful? It's early, so negative feedback is completely fine. I'm mainly trying to determine whether this is solving a real engineering problem. GitHub: KaktoosLabs/kaktoos
