api-attacker

A code-review agent that looks for common security weaknesses in web APIs. An API is a program interface that lets applications exchange data and perform actions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan API code for issues such as mass assignment, broken object-level authorization, missing request limits, and excessive data exposure across several web frameworks.
Why use it?
It helps find missing access checks, unrestricted input, absent rate limits, and responses that expose too much data before they become security incidents.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

api-attacker 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 yesterday.

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.

Detection Targets

Type Description Pattern
Mass Assignment 一括代入脆弱性 $request->all(), fillable未定義
BOLA オブジェクトレベル認可不備 IDパラメータの権限チェック漏れ
Rate Limiting レート制限なし throttle未設定のAPI
Excessive Data Exposure 過剰なデータ露出 全カラム返却、機密フィールド露出

Framework Detection Patterns

Framework Vulnerable Pattern Safe Pattern
Laravel $request->all(), Model::create($input) $request->only(), $fillable
Django Model(**request.data) Serializer with fields
Flask Model(**request.json) Schema validation
Express Model.create(req.body) Validation middleware

Dangerous Patterns

patterns:

  - 'Model::create\s*\(\s*\$request'
  - '\*\*request\.(data|json)'
  - 'create\s*\(\s*req\.body\s*\)'

  # BOLA - Missing ownership check
  - 'find\s*\(\s*\$id\s*\)'
  - 'findOrFail\s*\(\s*\$'

  # Rate Limiting Missing

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.

api-attacker is an agent published in the GitHub repository morodomi/dev-crew (1 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 691 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
