HTTP Request Assistant

Problem

When an agent needs to read an API, submit structured data, or pass an external response into the next step, manually assembling request headers, choosing methods, and parsing responses creates repetitive work. This skill targets a narrow, reusable action: given a URL, method, and JSON payload, make one HTTP request and return a parseable result. It is closer to a stable external-interface call node in a toolchain than a replacement for a full HTTP library.

How It Works

The skill centers on three key parameters:
- --url: required target endpoint.
- --method: request method, supports GET / POST, defaults to GET.
- --data: request data for POST, as a JSON string.
It also supports custom headers, which can carry format or identifier information needed by the request. After the call, it returns JSON-formatted response content, making it easier to extract fields, check status, or continue with model reasoning.

Boundary

The provided material only explicitly covers GET / POST, custom headers, and JSON responses. If an endpoint requires file upload, streaming, complex authentication, automatic retries, or special TLS configuration, confirm the underlying capability separately; do not treat this simple request helper as a general-purpose network debugging tool.
