SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the critical security and architectural challenges in designing, reviewing, and auditing multi-tenant API routes to prevent data breaches, ensure tenant isolation, and maintain system integrity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Path-Derived Tenant Context: Enforces explicit tenant identification in API paths for enhanced security and observability.
  • Dual-Validation Middleware: Implements a robust two-step verification process for API keys and requested tenant context.
  • Endpoint Classification: Clearly separates global and tenant-scoped endpoints to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Use Case: When designing a new set of APIs for a SaaS platform, use this Skill to ensure all tenant-specific data is accessed through secure, well-defined routes like /api/v1/organizations/{org_slug}/..., preventing BOLA vulnerabilities.

Quick Start

Review the provided API route design against the six dimensions of governance outlined in the documentation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent BOLA vulnerabilities in multi-tenant API routes?

Preventing BOLA in multi-tenant API routes requires enforcing canonical path-derived tenant context and dual-validation middleware. This approach separates global and tenant-scoped endpoints, ensuring organization-scoped API routes securely validate tenant context before data access.

What is the best way to design API gateway middleware for tenant isolation?

Designing API gateway middleware for tenant isolation requires a two-step verification process for API keys and requested tenant context. Dual-validation middleware enforces this by validating tenant resolution from explicit path identifiers before accessing tenant-specific data.

How do I classify endpoints to separate global and tenant-scoped APIs?

Endpoint classification separates global and tenant-scoped APIs by enforcing explicit tenant identification in API paths. This canonical pattern routes tenant-specific data securely through paths like `/api/v1/organizations/{org_slug}/...`, preventing unauthorized cross-tenant access.

Why does my multi-tenant API route structure need path-derived tenant context?

Multi-tenant API route structures need path-derived tenant context to provide enhanced security and observability. Extracting tenant identification directly from canonical API paths enables strict gateway middleware validation and prevents data isolation breaches.

Does multi-tenant API route governance require rate limiting for tenant isolation?

Multi-tenant API route governance includes rate limiting as a core dimension of tenant isolation. Alongside token validation and endpoint classification, rate limiting enforces canonical patterns for organization-scoped API routes to maintain system integrity.

When do I need to audit multi-tenant API routes for security risks?

Auditing multi-tenant API routes for security risks is needed when designing new APIs for a SaaS platform or reviewing existing data access patterns. Governance ensures all tenant-specific data is accessed through secure, well-defined routes to prevent data breaches.
