Use Cases
### 1. Endpoint Testing `` You: "Test the checkout API" Probe: [4 tests with inputs, responses, pass/warn/fail, suggestions] ``
### 2. Health Check `` You: "Health check all endpoints" Probe: [Table of endpoints with status, response time, result] ``
### 3. Test Generation `` You: "Generate tests for this OpenAPI spec" Probe: [Happy path, validation, edge case, and security tests] ``
### 4. Performance Monitoring `` You: "Which endpoints are slow?" Probe: [Endpoints exceeding threshold with trend data] ``
