WHAT IT DOES

What swagger_standardize_api does on SmartBear MCP

AI agents use swagger_standardize_api to create or update resources in SmartBear MCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your SmartBear MCP environment.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`api`	string	Yes	API name (case-sensitive)
`owner`	string	Yes	API owner (organization or user, case-sensitive)
`version`	string	Yes	Version identifier
`newVersion`	string	—	The version to save the fixed definition as (e.g. '1.0.1'). Omitting this will overwrite the current version — prefer providing a patch bump (e.g. '1.0.0' → '1.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why swagger_standardize_api is rated Medium

This tool modifies API definitions by applying standardization fixes. While it could theoretically create a new version (reversible), the default behavior is to overwrite the current version, and even version creation represents persistent modification of governance artifacts.

From the tool's definition "automatically fixes them" and "will overwrite the current version" and "save the fixed definition as a new version" indicate the tool modifies API definitions.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs swagger_standardize_api safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and SmartBear MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For swagger_standardize_api, this is the rule to start with:

swagger_standardize_api Rate-limited

swagger_standardize_api stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

FAQ

Questions about swagger_standardize_api

What does the swagger_standardize_api tool do? +

Standardize and fix an API definition using AI to ensure compliance with governance policies. Scans the API definition for standardization errors and automatically fixes them using SmartBear AI. Optionally provide 'newVersion' (e.g. patch bump '1.0.0' → '1.0.1') to save the fixed definition as a new version — omitting it will overwrite the current version.
