Key Capabilities
Cline runs automated schema checks
Cline doesn't just write code; it now validates your API contracts first. By calling `validate_openapi`, the agent checks your spec against the standard before it touches your repository. It returns a clean error report with specific paths. You get to fix the contract before the agent builds the implementation.
Catch errors early with Cline
Stop wasting time on broken generated code. Use `validate_openapi` to ensure your OpenAPI or Swagger file is perfect before Cline starts working. This creates a hard stop for bad specs. If the tool reports an error, Cline pauses until you provide a fix.
Full version coverage for Cline
The validator supports everything from Swagger 2.0 to OpenAPI 3.2. Cline detects the spec version and applies the correct rules automatically. You avoid the frustration of version mismatches. The tool ensures your spec adheres to the spec version it claims to be.
