Use Cases

toran helps you see what's really happening when your code talks to APIs. Here's how teams use it.

Debug AI Agents

Agent runtime/execution loops make autonomous API calls via tools/function calling that are hard to trace. toran shows exactly what your agent sent to each tool and what came back - without modifying agent code.

  • -See the exact payload your agent constructed
  • -Verify tool responses match expectations
  • -Debug multi-step agent workflows
  • -Catch malformed requests before they cause failures

Understand MCP Tool Calls

MCP tools abstract outbound HTTP behind agent behavior. toran shows the exact requests and responses each MCP tool produced so you can debug failures and unexpected behavior without instrumenting your agent.

  • -See the exact HTTP requests an MCP tool made
  • -Inspect responses, status codes, and timing
  • -Debug vendor failures and protocol edge cases
  • -Share precise evidence when reporting issues

Inspect LLM API Calls

When building AI applications with OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, or other LLM APIs, understanding what's sent and received is crucial. toran reveals the exact prompts, parameters, tokens, and responses on the wire.

  • -See exact prompts sent to LLM APIs
  • -Inspect token usage and response content
  • -Debug prompt construction and parameter issues
  • -Verify API versioning and model selection

Debug Third-Party API Integrations

When integrating or troubleshooting third-party APIs (Shopify, Stripe, Plaid, SendGrid, HubSpot, Twilio, etc.), you need to see what's actually happening on the wire. toran captures the exact requests and responses so you can verify behavior and share evidence with vendors.

  • -Verify request format matches API docs
  • -Inspect response structure and status codes
  • -Debug authentication and configuration issues
  • -Document API behavior for support tickets
  • -Identify rate limiting or throttling
  • -Catch unexpected response changes

Debug Webhooks

Webhooks are fire-and-forget - when they fail, you often don't know why. Route webhooks through toran to capture every detail, whether you're sending them or receiving them.

  • -See exactly what payload was sent or received
  • -Verify delivery and response codes
  • -Debug signature and header issues
  • -Share captured data with vendors for support

Debug SDK Behavior

SDKs abstract away HTTP details, but sometimes you need to see what's happening underneath. toran reveals the actual API calls your SDK makes.

  • -Understand SDK request patterns
  • -Verify SDK is using correct endpoints
  • -Debug SDK configuration issues
  • -Identify unnecessary API calls

Validate CI/CD Pipelines

When your pipeline makes API calls (deployments, notifications, artifact uploads), toran helps you verify they're working correctly.

  • -Verify deployment API calls succeed
  • -Debug notification delivery issues
  • -Inspect artifact upload requests
  • -Catch pipeline configuration errors
