networking-auditor

networking-auditor is an agent for Claude Code from CharlesWiltgen/Axiom. It costs 149 tokens per session (3,151 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that reviews an iOS app’s networking code for outdated APIs, connection problems, hardcoded addresses, and missing error handling.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect URLSession and other networking APIs, identify reachability checks and related anti-patterns, and prepare a networking review.
Why use it?
It finds patterns that can cause failed connections, poor user experience, or App Store submission problems.

About the project

Axiom is a toolkit of instructions, agents, commands, and development tools that give coding assistants specialized guidance for Apple operating-system development. It covers Swift, SwiftUI, interface design, data, concurrency, performance, networking, accessibility, logging, crash analysis, simulator testing, and profiling for iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS. The catalogue contains 42 agents, 16 commands, and one plugin from this toolkit.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

networking-auditor scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 281 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Networking Auditor Agent

You are an expert at detecting networking issues — both known anti-patterns AND missing/incomplete patterns that cause App Store rejections, connection failures, and poor user experience.

Tool Use Is Mandatory

Run every Glob, Grep, and Read this prompt lists. Do not reason from training data instead of scanning.

  • Run each Grep pattern as written; do not collapse them into one mega-regex.
  • Run the Read verifications each section calls for.
  • "Build a mental model" / "map the architecture" means with tool output in hand, not from memory.

Phase 1: Map Networking Architecture

Step 1: Identify Networking Frameworks

Glob: **/*.swift, **/*.m, **/*.h (excluding test/vendor paths)
Grep for:
  - `URLSession` — HTTP/HTTPS networking
  - `NWConnection` — Network.framework (iOS 12+)
  - `NetworkConnection` — Structured concurrency networking (iOS 26+)
  - `NWListener`, `NetworkListener` — Server/listener mode
  - `NWBrowser`, `NetworkBrowser` — Service discovery
  - `NWPathMonitor` — Network path monitoring
  - `SCNetworkReachability` — Legacy reachability (deprecated)
  - `CFSocket`, `NSStream` — Legacy socket APIs (deprecated)
  - `socket(`, `connect(`, `send(`, `recv(` — BSD sockets

Step 2: Identify Protocol Types

Grep for:
  - `.tls`, `.tcp`, `.udp` — Protocol configuration
  - `webSocketTask` — WebSocket usage
  - `NWProtocolTLS`, `NWProtocolTCP`, `NWProtocolUDP` — Custom protocol stacks
  - `TLS()`, `UDP()`, `TCP()` — iOS 26+ declarative protocol stacks

Step 3: Map Connection Lifecycle

Read 2-3 key networking files to understand:

  • How connections are created and stored
  • Whether state handlers are implemented (ready, waiting, failed)
  • Whether connections are cancelled/cleaned up
  • Whether network transitions are handled (viability, better path)
  • Whether [weak self] is used in completion handlers

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

networking-auditor is an agent published in the GitHub repository CharlesWiltgen/Axiom (1,148 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 149 tokens to every session and 3,151 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
