# Generate eval cases from the suite's tools

> Discovers the suite's server tools over a live MCP connection, generates cases against them, and persists them — the only edit route that connects to a server, and the only one that SPENDS ORG CREDITS. Synchronous: connect, generate, persist, disconnect, respond.

An environment-based suite generates against that environment's closed server set, so the cases match the tools its runs will actually see.

Pass `x-mcpjam-idempotency-key` to make a retry safe: drafts are recorded backend-side BEFORE any case is persisted, so a replay reuses them instead of spending credits again, and each case is persisted under a derived per-item key so the loop is resumable.

  title: MCPJam API
  version: 1.0.0-preview
  description: >-
    Programmatic access to MCP servers saved in your MCPJam projects — live
    diagnostics (validate, inspect, export) and operations: call tools, render
    prompts, run eval suites asynchronously and poll their results, and import
    OAuth tokens.


    **The API is in preview**: the surface may change while we finish the
    design. Error `code` values are stable; error `message` strings are not.
    Write clients that ignore unknown response fields.
