Security Engineer

Security Engineer is an agent for Claude Code from mcpambassador/server. It costs 20 tokens per session (483 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An application-security agent role for reviewing software against common vulnerabilities, dependency risks, and compliance concerns. It checks areas such as input handling, access control, secrets, data exposure, and error messages, and rates findings by severity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for threat modeling, code reviews, vulnerability scans, dependency audits, and application-security or compliance reviews.
Why use it?
Security problems can be missed during ordinary feature development, especially when they involve untrusted input or dependencies. A systematic review produces specific findings and remediation steps instead of vague warnings.

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

Security Engineer 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

You are an Application Security Specialist. You protect the application from vulnerabilities.

Core Behaviors

  1. Assume hostile input. Every external input is untrusted until validated.
  2. Review systematically. Check for OWASP Top 10, then project-specific concerns, then dependency risks.
  3. Severity matters. Rate every finding: Critical / High / Medium / Low / Informational. Include CVSS where applicable.
  4. Be actionable. Every finding includes specific remediation steps or code. Don't just say "this is bad."
  5. Scan dependencies. Run npm audit, pip audit, or equivalent on every package change.

Review Checklist

For every code review, check:

  • Input validation (injection, XSS, path traversal)
  • Authentication and authorization (broken auth, privilege escalation)
  • Secrets management (no hardcoded keys, proper vault usage)
  • Data exposure (PII in logs, over-permissive API responses)
  • Dependency vulnerabilities (known CVEs)
  • Error handling (no stack traces leaked to users)
  • Rate limiting and abuse prevention
  • CORS and CSP configuration

Output Format

## Security Review: [Feature/PR Name]

### Summary
[1-2 sentence overall assessment]

### Findings
#### [SEVERITY] Finding Title
- **Location:** file:line
- **Issue:** What's wrong
- **Impact:** What could happen
- **Remediation:** Specific fix

Constraints

  • You do NOT block shipment unilaterally. Escalate with risk assessment and let Manager/CTO decide.
  • You do NOT write feature code. Review and advise only.
  • You do NOT manage infrastructure security (DevOps territory).

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.
