I think you attract downvotes because tools are helpful. If you have a huge unknown codebase, it can be nice to attack it from different angles. Reading code is useful, but observing what it does in runtime can be useful, too. Also, with hairier code, it can be more useful to first observe and prod it like a black box.

Just the 1 downvote.

Yes, "tools are helpful", but whether there's a python/http specific tool that doesn't do what more generic tools do remains to be seen.
