Short answer

How can I automate test data cleanup with my AI?

Your AI uses GoRest tools to spin up users and posts for a test run, then deletes them as soon as the test finishes. This keeps your database from getting cluttered with junk data. You get a clean environment every time you run a test.

The results of automated cleanup.

Where your test data lands.

This is what happens when your AI manages the GoRest lifecycle.

CLEAN STATE

No leftover junk

The AI removes every user and post it created. You won't find old test records sitting in your database.

READY DATA

Instant test entities

Your agent builds the exact users and posts you need for a specific test case. The data is ready before your test logic even starts.

HUMAN CONTROL

You decide when to wipe

The AI won't touch existing production data. It only acts on the specific entities it creates during the session.

LOGGING

Traceable actions

Every creation and deletion is handled through the MCP. You can see exactly what your agent did in your client's chat history.

The workflow

What your AI does when a test starts.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of setup and teardown.

  1. Setup users

    Your agent builds the necessary user profiles to satisfy your test requirements.

    create_user

  2. Add content

    The AI attaches specific posts to those users to simulate real activity.

    create_user_post

  3. Remove posts

    Once the test passes or fails, the agent wipes the posts first.

    delete_post

  4. Wipe users

    The final step is removing the user accounts to leave the system exactly how it was found.

    delete_user
