What problem does it solve?
Security teams conducting API security tests waste time figuring out which attack vectors to prioritize across REST, GraphQL, SOAP, and WebSocket interfaces, leading to missed critical vulnerabilities and inefficient testing workflows.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Intelligent API Triage: Automatically categorizes API testing cases into the appropriate specialized workflow based on observed API characteristics like documentation presence, token usage, and API type.
- Comprehensive Surface Discovery: Guides testers to find OpenAPI/Swagger docs, hidden API routes, version drift, and undocumented endpoints to map the full attack surface.
- Use Case: When testing a mobile app backend with visible Swagger documentation, this skill first guides you to test authentication on all discovered endpoints, then routes you to the specialized BOLA testing skill for object-level authorization checks.
Quick Start
Use the api-sec skill to triage the target REST API at https://target/api and identify the highest-priority API attack vectors to test first.
