Redocly CLI

MIT

The most production-ready way to EXECUTE an Arazzo document today, and the one most teams already have installed. `redocly respect` sends real requests to a real server, evaluates each step's successCriteria against the actual responses, and returns a pass/fail plus a HAR file. The same CLI lints OpenAPI against configurable rulesets, bundles and splits descriptions, and builds reference documentation.

Where it applies

Jobs this tool actually does, and the surface each one is exercised on.

Prove in CI that a published Arazzo workflow still describes how the API behaves.

The framing is contract testing — the value is the verdict, not the side effects. It still makes real calls, so point it at an environment where that is safe.

Lint an OpenAPI description against a team ruleset before it merges.

ci-pipeline

Bundle a multi-file OpenAPI description into one document an agent can read whole.
