Negative Payload Generator

Generate invalid request bodies from schemas

Missing rejection tests? Generate invalid payloads for supported schema rules and inspect each failing constraint.

Missing rejection tests? Generate invalid payloads for supported schema rules and inspect each failing constraint. Check locally in your browser. No upload. Jump to: What does it mean?, How to fix it, Break it, Ask your agent.

Example A synthetic order schema requires a short name and a quantity between one and five.

24 invalid payloads generated.

A bounded subset of JSON Schema is supported; unknown validation keywords are refused. Generated failures do not test authorization or application business rules.

The schema and payloads stay in your browser. Cases are generated and validated here and never uploaded.

Nothing is sent to our server. This tool has no server step.

Findings

2 checks and notes
  • Info Bounded schema subset

    Unsupported validation keywords are refused. No requests are sent. Cases test structural validation, not authorization, business rules or server behavior.

  • Pass 24 invalid payloads generated

    Each emitted case failed at least one supported rule; all detected violations are listed. Several rules may fail in one case.

What this result means

Written for the example.

  • Ask for a review of the findings and a test that verifies the proposed fix. Input values are not included automatically.

  • A synthetic order schema requires a short name and a quantity between one and five.

  • A synthetic order schema requires a short name and a quantity between one and five.

  • Check representative input and one deliberate failure. Confirm the result in the application that consumes it.

  • Read the findings before changing the input. Break it lets you inspect a failure, and Heal it restores the previous input.

  • A bounded subset of JSON Schema is supported; unknown validation keywords are refused. Generated failures do not test authorization or application business rules.

How it works

Negative Payload Generator reads json schema or openapi json locally and presents findings with the evidence behind them. A synthetic order schema requires a short name and a quantity between one and five. The full method, every rule and worked examples are on docs.tamperbox.dev.

Limits and interpretation

A bounded subset of JSON Schema is supported; unknown validation keywords are refused. Generated failures do not test authorization or application business rules. Inputs are limited to 1,000,000 characters per field. Nothing is fetched from addresses embedded in input. Explicit copies and downloads are under your control.

Frequently asked questions

Is my input uploaded?

No. Parsing and output generation run in your browser. Source values are not sent to a server.

What does the opening example demonstrate?

A synthetic order schema requires a short name and a quantity between one and five. It is synthetic data. Replace it with your own input to inspect a different case.

Does a passing result prove my application works?

No. A bounded subset of JSON Schema is supported; unknown validation keywords are refused. Generated failures do not test authorization or application business rules. Verify the result in your test environment before relying on it.
