Dropbox doesn't offer a specific mechanism for testing the API exactly, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
If you want to check that your app has the ability to make API calls though, you can technically use any endpoint that the app/access token is allowed to call to see if the call fails or not, but /2/check/user or /2/users/get_current_account in particular are good options for this, since they don't have any side effects. Those are DbxUserCheckRequests.user and DbxUserUsersRequests.getCurrentAccount, respectively, in the Dropbox Java SDK.
