## Prerequisites
- A DotMock workspace you can access
- The API ID in $API_ID and its published runtime URL in $MOCK_URL when the example calls the mock

## In this guide
- Define the schema first
- Configure a query with request data
- Use variables and headers for scenarios
- Reuse persistent state across operations
- Test subscriptions as an event sequence
- Dry-run the native operation

## Verified boundaries
- GraphQL dry-runs validate the operation against the workspace schema and do not persist side effects.
