What Dino does
Scan & analyze
Run 6 agents against your API. Get a health score, coverage report, and actionable findings — in one command.
Diff & changelog
Track every schema change between deploys. Catch breaking changes before they reach consumers.
Document
Generate API reference docs from your live schema. Fill in what your team forgot to write.
Watch & govern
Run scheduled scans with Shadow Mode. Start observing, graduate to enforcing.
Capabilities

|---|---|---|
dino scan | Full pipeline — 6 agents, health scores, intelligence report | Yes |
dino diff | Schema diff against last snapshot, breaking change detection | Yes (--fail-on-breaking) |
dino docs | Generate API reference from live schema | Yes (--output) |
dino lint | Check SDL descriptions, catch documentation regressions | Yes (--fail-on-undocumented) |
dino changelog | Keep a Changelog-formatted API changelog from snapshot diffs | Yes (--fail-on-breaking) |
dino watch | Scheduled scans with Shadow Mode (observe/enforce) | Yes (--once) |
dino init | Interactive onboarding — creates .dino.yml config | No (interactive) |
dino validate | Validate .dino.yml against schema | Yes |
What makes Dino different
Deterministic engine
Deterministic engine
Every scan produces the same results for the same input. No flaky results, no AI hallucinations in the core pipeline — the engine is deterministic, with optional AI reasoning layered on top.
6 autonomous agents (6 more planned)
6 autonomous agents (6 more planned)
Input fuzzing, response validation, RBAC matrix testing, rate limit validation, error code checking, deprecation tracking — each agent runs independently and reports findings.
Shadow Mode graduated autonomy
Shadow Mode graduated autonomy
Start in observe mode (report only), graduate to enforce (fail the build). Your team controls the pace.
Who it’s for
- Backend teams shipping APIs without dedicated QA — Dino is the QA you don’t have to hire.
- Platform engineers managing dozens of internal APIs — catch breaking changes across services.
- API-first companies where the API is the product — documentation gaps are revenue gaps.
