Could you build this?

Partial Building basic API docs and mock responders from OpenAPI is straightforward, but building a comprehensive test runner with suites, 10 auth schemes, CLI runners, and live monitoring is a substantial systems developer tooling task.

What it would actually take: The platform requires an AST parser and validation engine for OpenAPI 3.x, an in-memory mock engine dynamically generating realistic schema-compliant data, and an isolated sandbox test execution environment supporting complex authentication handshakes (OAuth2, mutual TLS, AWS Signature V4). It also needs a headless test orchestration engine and an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server runtime with role-based access control, typically built using Node.js/Go with PostgreSQL for spec versioning.
