Auditing API contracts involves scanning method signatures to detect internal entity leakage and missing Data Transfer Objects (DTOs). It identifies design flaws where implementation details bleed into the API layer, yielding penalty-based diagnostic scores for actionable feedback.

Inconsistent API error contracts occur when error responses lack uniformity and predictability. You can check for them by running an automated audit that flags inconsistent error handling patterns and provides diagnostic sub-scores for targeted fixes.

You detect redundant method overloads by auditing the API surface to flag unnecessary method overloads that complicate the design. The audit highlights these redundancies and calculates penalty-based scores to help streamline the API.

Yes, you can use this auditor for a new microservice codebase to ensure the API is clean, maintainable, and follows best practices. It performs automated checks for layer leakage and inconsistent error contracts before widespread adoption.

The best way to validate missing Data Transfer Objects (DTOs) is to run an API contract audit that checks for expected DTOs. It catches missing DTOs in the API layer and provides diagnostic sub-scores to guide your corrections.

Entity leakage happens when internal database or domain entities are directly exposed in API method signatures instead of using Data Transfer Objects (DTOs). An audit detects this layer leakage and provides penalty-based findings to refactor the design.
