🚀We’re Raising the Bar for Enterprise AI Agents.

Today, we’re releasing APIFlow-Bench. The first benchmark that aims to test how AI agents can execute real enterprise workflows end-to-end.

In production, “almost works” is not acceptable:

→ One bad assumption early → cascading rework
→ One unconfirmed write → broken automation
→ One expired token → compliance exposure

Even if the agent somehow does accomplish the task, the astronomical token costs for agentic workflows has been proof that fail, fail, and try again is not an acceptable solution.

Most benchmarks still measure fluency for answers from LLMs, APIFlow-Bench measures survival.

⚫️ What is APIFlow-Bench?

A deterministically validated, sandboxed benchmark for long-horizon API workflows that mirrors how agents actually fail in the enterprise. It evaluates what matters for production agents:

• Multi-turn dependency & workflow fidelity.
• State carryover & context preservation.
• Recovery from failure & safe retry behavior.
• Behavior under enterprise constraints (auth, quotas, error codes).

⚫️ Why This Matters

Because in a world where agents are wired directly into APIs, queues, and orchestration layers, the blast radius of a small error is no longer small. A minor hallucination at step 3 becomes a production incident at step 27.

A model that can survive long API chains is not merely better at tool use. It is better at preserving context, respecting constraints, managing state, and completing work across dependent steps.

That’s why API readiness is such a strong proxy for agent readiness.

Check out the blog post describing the benchmark, the methodology and results here: https://t.co/EFsScm6z2v

The public APIFlow-Bench leaderboard is at: https://t.co/20jOHMm94v with full transcripts here: https://t.co/Nxhk4zvQmM

In our technical blog, we break down:

• How we designed the capability axes.
• How we generated and validated realistic API workflows.
• Why we use deterministic validators instead of LLM judges.
• What the early results tell us about agent reliability in production.

If you’re building, buying, or betting on AI agents for the enterprise, this is the benchmark you probably want to check.

Check out the post to see the winners and stay tuned for the next update with the latest OpenAI, Anthropic, Open-weight (Kimi, Qwen) models!

Model Context Protocol (MCP) has quickly emerged as the preferred way for agents to connect to the outside world. Excited to announce that MCP support is coming to Postman!

What does this mean:

1. Work with MCP requests natively in Postman.
2. Support for SSE and stdio transports
3. Seamless, optimized UI to reduce friction in working with tools.

@RCKTRAFFIC @HYDTP @TelanganaCOPs @UppalTrPS @HYDTP @TelanganaCOPs - Can you please help? This is wrong challan and it should be removed.

@HYDTP I have reported the challan number RCK02TE243682437, but the challan still exists. The image for the challan shows a four wheeler heavy vehicle and has a T/R number plate. But my vehicle is two-wheeler. Can you please remove the challan? @TelanganaCOPs

[Pankaj Kumar @pankajkumar005]

@RCKTRAFFIC @HYDTP @TelanganaCOPs @UppalTrPS I called on this number and I was told that they will get back after checking, but did not hear so far. How can I get this corrected?

Is India's most-valued SaaS unicorn planning for an IPO? "Chasing an IPO is not the goal," says Abhinav Asthana (@a85) of @getpostman. But, early investor Jishnu Bhattacharjee (@b_jishnu) of @NexusVP interjects with a good cheer!
