SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps diagnose REST and GraphQL API failures by isolating layers from connectivity to data semantics.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Isolate failure points across connectivity, TLS/SSL, authentication, request formatting, and response parsing to identify root causes.
  • Use Hermes tools — terminal for curl, execute_code for Python requests, and web_extract for vendor docs — to gather evidence and reproduce issues.
  • Apply to common debugging scenarios such as 401/403 auth failures, 404 route issues, schema validation errors, and rate-limit or pagination problems.

Quick Start

Target a REST or GraphQL endpoint with a curl request and review the status, headers, and body to identify the failing layer.

Frequently Asked Questions about rest-graphql-debug

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I debug REST API 401 and 403 authentication failures?

Debug REST API 401 and 403 authentication failures by isolating failure points across connectivity, TLS/SSL, authentication, and request formatting layers. Use terminal curl requests to review status, headers, and body to identify the failing layer.

What is the best way to isolate GraphQL schema validation errors?

Isolate GraphQL schema validation errors by targeting the endpoint with requests and reviewing the response body for data semantics issues. Use Python requests to reproduce the issue and extract vendor documentation to guide the debugging process.

Can I use curl to test connectivity and TLS/SSL issues in API requests?

Yes, you can use curl to test connectivity and TLS/SSL issues in API requests. Execute curl commands via terminal to review the response status, headers, and body, which helps isolate the failing layer from connectivity to data semantics.

How do I diagnose REST API rate-limit and pagination problems?

Diagnose REST API rate-limit and pagination problems by reproducing the issue with Python requests or curl. Isolate the failure point across connectivity, request formatting, and response parsing to identify the root cause of the integration error.

Why does my GraphQL endpoint return data semantics errors?

GraphQL endpoints return data semantics errors due to schema validation or request formatting issues. Debug by isolating the failure layer from connectivity to data semantics, using execute_code for Python requests to gather evidence and review the response body.

What should I check first when debugging REST and GraphQL API failures?

When debugging REST and GraphQL API failures, first check the connectivity and TLS/SSL layers. Target the endpoint with a curl request and review the status, headers, and body to identify if the failure is in authentication, request formatting, or response parsing.
