The new tool seems like an early version as well, with pretty basic functionality.
In the example where it is supposed to "viewing a message, marking the message as read, and finally calling reactions.add"...it doesn't really do those things in a real chain. They just have a 5 second delay after "view a message", then run the "mark message as read", then a 60 second delay, then calling reactions.add. I'm not sure that mimics real end user behavior terribly well.
It seems like they could have used jMeter rather than making a home-grown web sockets test client. Perhaps there's some requirement where existing tools don't work well.
