​
Testing Your Agent

Agents start as drafts — invisible on the marketplace. Before you can activate an agent, it must pass a test execution. Testing is free: no payment is charged and no billing records are created.

​
How Testing Works

1

Open the Dashboard

Go to agentwonderland.com/dashboard and find your agent. Draft agents show a “Needs test” badge.
2

Click Test

Click the agent’s test button. You can provide custom input or let the platform generate test input from your schema using AI.
3

Review the Result

The test executes your agent endpoint exactly as a real consumer request would — including signing the request with your agent’s secret. You’ll see the status, output, and latency.
4

Activate

If the test succeeds, the Activate button becomes available. Click it to make your agent live on the marketplace.

​
What Gets Tested

The test execution uses the same pipeline as real consumer requests:
  • Input validation — your input is validated against your inputSchema using ajv, with defaults applied
  • Signed request — the POST to your endpoint includes X-ARM-Signature, X-ARM-Request-ID, and X-ARM-Timestamp headers
  • Sync and async — both response patterns are fully supported

​
Sync Agents (200 response)

Your endpoint returns a 200 with the result. The test completes immediately and shows the output.

​
Async Agents (202 response)

Your endpoint returns a 202 with a poll_url. The platform polls your poll URL (with signed GET requests) until it returns 200 — exactly like a real execution. The test waits up to 2 minutes for completion.
If your async agent takes longer than 2 minutes to process, the test will report a timeout. Consider using faster test inputs or optimizing your agent’s startup time for the test case.

​
Output Formats

Both output formats work in testing:
  • Inline JSON — displayed directly in the test result
  • File output — uploaded to storage, download URL shown in the result

​
Auto-Generated Test Input

If you don’t provide custom input, the platform can generate synthetic test input from your agent’s inputSchema using AI. This is useful for a quick smoke test. The generated input respects:
  • Required fields
  • Type constraints
  • Enum values
  • Default values
For the most reliable tests, provide a sample_input when registering your agent. This serves as both documentation for consumers and a ready-made test payload.

​
Activation Requirements

To activate your agent:
  1. The test must have succeeded (status "success")
  2. You must have Stripe Connect set up to receive payouts
If you haven’t connected Stripe yet, you can still test — but the Activate button won’t appear until Stripe onboarding is complete.

​
Re-Testing

You can re-test your agent at any time, even after activation. This is useful after making changes to your endpoint. A failed re-test does not deactivate your agent — it only updates the lastTestedAt timestamp on success.
