Validation

Validation

Validation checks your routes for correctness, security, and compliance.

Running Validation 

/camel-validate           # Validate all flows
/camel-validate <flow-name>  # Validate specific flow

MCP-Enhanced Validation

When the Camel MCP server is configured, validation adds three automated phases: route structure analysis, URI validation, and security analysis (47 checks covering credentials, encryption, authentication, input validation, data exposure, and compliance).

What’s Checked

CategoryMCP ToolExamples
Completeness-Source defined, sink defined, error handling
URI Validationcamel_validate_routeValid component names, valid options
Securitycamel_route_harden_contextCredentials, encryption, authentication
Constitution-Naming conventions, circuit breakers

Validation Report

When using MCP, you get instant feedback:

Route structure: VALID
URI validation: VALID (3/3 endpoints)
Security: 45/47 checks passed

Security Issues:
  Line 12: HTTP instead of HTTPS
  Risk: Unencrypted communication
  Fix: Change to https://api.example.com

Without MCP, results are saved to .camel-kit/validation-report.md with:

  • Pass/fail status for each check
  • Error codes for failures
  • Suggested fixes
