Creates and dispatches a new analysis/crawling suite for your project, or reruns an existing one. Use this to start a fresh analysis session or to re-trigger a previous analysis.
wopee_create_blank_suite
Creates a blank analysis suite for your project. Use this when you want to manually configure and populate a suite rather than having it automatically analyzed.
wopee_generate_artifact
Generates a specific file(artifact) for the selected suite.
wopee_fetch_artifact
Fetches the enquired file(artifact) from the selected suite.
wopee_update_artifact
Updates/replaces existing file(artifact) for a specific suite
wopee_dispatch_agent
Dispatches an autonomous testing agent to execute test cases for a selected suite. Tests run **asynchronously** (typically 1-3 minutes). This tool confirms dispatch and returns tracking info — not final results.
wopee_fetch_recent_executions
Fetches the most recent test case executions for the current project (up to 20, newest first). Use this to quickly check the status of recently dispatched tests without needing to remember specific suite UUIDs.
wopee_fetch_executed_test_cases
Fetches executed test cases and their results for a given analysis suite. Use this to check the status and reports of dispatched agent runs.
