| description | Verify a Skyvern deployment is working correctly by smoke-testing the backend API, frontend rendering, browser session provisioning, and workflow execution. Use when the user says 'is Skyvern working', 'test my deployment', 'verify the installation', 'smoke test', or needs to check that a self-hosted or local Skyvern instance is healthy. |
Testing
Smoke-test a Skyvern deployment to verify the backend API responds, the frontend renders
correctly, browser sessions can be provisioned, and workflows can execute end to end.
Checks
Run these three checks sequentially. Stop on the first failure — later checks depend on
earlier ones passing.
1. Backend API Health + Frontend Renders
Verify the API server is reachable and the frontend renders correctly.
skyvern_browser_session_create(timeout=5)
skyvern_navigate(url="{{base_url}}")
skyvern_evaluate(expression="fetch('/api/v1/workflows?page=1&page_size=1', {credentials: 'include'}).then(r => ({status: r.status, ok: r.ok, reachable: r.status > 0})).catch(e => ({status: 0, ok: false, reachable: false, error: e.message}))")
Pass: fetch returns a response (any HTTP status confirms the backend is reachable).
A 2xx means fully healthy; 401/403 means the backend is running but requires authentication.
Only status: 0 or a network error means the backend is actually down.
skyvern_navigate(url="{{base_url}}/discover")
skyvern_validate(prompt="The page does NOT show any error messages, error toasts, 'Something went wrong', a persistent loading spinner, a blank white screen, or a connection refused message")
skyvern_validate(prompt="The page shows 'What task would you like to accomplish?' as a heading, a text input area with 'Enter your prompt...' placeholder, an engine version selector, and a send/submit button icon")
skyvern_screenshot()
skyvern_browser_session_close()
Pass: backend returned an HTTP response (not a network error) AND both frontend validations return valid: true.
