A new watsonx-orchestrate skill for IBM Bob enables developers to test AI agents directly in live IBM watsonx Orchestrate environments without manual workflows. The skill supports both single-turn and multi-turn conversation testing by wrapping the Orchestrate REST API in a bash script (wxo-chat.sh) that bypasses the interactive CLI. Bob can derive test cases from agent YAML definitions (starter prompts), execute smoke tests, evaluate results, and generate a test report. The skill also integrates optionally with the watsonx Orchestrate ADK MCP Server. Safety guardrails ensure read-only prompts are used by default unless the user opts into write operations.
