yaml_input, . See the Request body table below for the full schema.
https://api.miniwebtool.com/v1/tools/yaml-formatter-validator/run
Authorization: Bearer <key> and Content-Type: application/json. Copy-paste snippets in 7 languages are under Code examples.
{request_id, tool, tool_version, credits_used, result}. The typed output lives in result.
Validate, format, minify, or convert YAML to JSON. Use it to add this utility without rebuilding formulas, validation, examples, and documentation.
1 credit per successful call. Failed calls (validation errors, 5xx) don't bill.
Required fields: yaml_input. Full schema at /v1/openapi.json.
Yes — same input, same output, forever. Tool version 2026-04-22; output shape is stable within a major version.
Yes. Connect to https://api.miniwebtool.com/v1/mcp over the Model Context Protocol. The agent discovers `yaml-formatter-validator` with its JSON Schema automatically, so the model can plan while MiniWebtool handles the exact tool result.
JSON with a stable envelope: `{request_id, tool, tool_version, credits_used, result}`. Errors are RFC 7807 `application/problem+json`.
Every endpoint on this site is also exposed via the
Model Context Protocol at
https://api.miniwebtool.com/v1/mcp.
Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-capable agent can discover this tool
(yaml-formatter-validator)
and its JSON Schema automatically — no client codegen.
