Tiltmeter watches third-party APIs for drift

Editorial interest 76/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A command-line tool and MCP server that tracks API response shapes, flags breaking changes, and can hand a fix to a coding agent.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-24 issue.

For: Developers relying on third-party JSON APIs
Worth noticing: Its sample flags `balance` changing from integer to string and leaves the ambiguous “1200” versus “12.00” interpretation to a human.

Field notes

The setup flow asks a coding agent to find external JSON APIs, draft a `tiltmeter.yaml`, add `.tiltmeter/` to `.gitignore`, and record baselines. The page also shows an MCP check that reports drift severity and changed fields. For proposed fixes, it says the agent can show a diff and open a pull request, while leaving ambiguous cases for human review.
