How I used Agent Mode: I treated Agent Mode as my “Security Sidekick”. I didn’t want to write boring negative tests manually, so I asked it to roast my login endpoint. It instantly generated a full suite of nasty scenarios: SQL Injection, XSS payloads, and it even wrote a custom pre-request script to generate a ~1MB payload for buffer overflow testing. It did all the heavy lifting (headers, bodies, assertions) so I could just review the strategy.
How I explain it to a newbie: It turns your “intent” into actual code. You tell it what you want to test (e.g., “break this API with bad data”), and it handles the how—instantly writing the JSON, scripts, and checks. It’s like having a senior pair programmer who types really fast.
