Not sure of your use case behind the question.
- The default generated test case be used to quickly check if all the endpoints are enabled or not like smoke test.

- Beyond that, lot of cases have to be added for the test coverage which have to be taken care by engineers and it will be time taking as well if it needs to be fully automated.

- Even scripting might be needed in order to achieve the same such as pass data from one response to next request's input etc.,
- One important thing to note is that the generated tests will not have any kind of assertions which is critical to say if the test is passed.

That's why (automation) engineers are on job, not just tools.
