| Best use | Best for a developer or small team that wants repeatable API checks with explicit conditions stored beside the code. It links request data and identifies failing assertions without repeating manual inspection. It does not replace browser tests or test-environment setup; curl may be enough for a one-off request. | Best for an individual working across two computers or a small team sharing files with trusted devices. It moves folder changes instead of repeating manual copies, while keeping device and storage choices under your control. It does not replace independent backups or collaborative editing, and devices holding the files must be reachable. | Best for an individual developer or small team that wants an AI agent to complete an inspectable task in a working copy: understand files, make a bounded change, and run a test. Start with manual approval and scope the folder and tools. Do not give it broad access to production or sensitive data. |
