Question

An AI assistant wrote you a small Python script that calls a library function `requests.get_json(url)` to fetch and parse JSON from an API in one step. It looks convenient and reads naturally. Before you build on it, how do you confirm that method actually exists and behaves the way the code assumes?

What a strong answer looks like

Treat the AI’s output as a draft to verify, not an answer to trust. Name the specific flaw and the input that triggers it, say how you’d catch it — tests, edge cases, reading critically — and how you’d re-prompt or decompose to get it right.
