api-contract

api-contract is an agent for Claude Code from ncoevoet/claude-review-all. It costs 31 tokens per session (714 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-review agent that checks whether changes break public interfaces, such as exported code, API routes, data schemas, or database migrations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reviewing library APIs, REST or GraphQL endpoints, shared message types, package exports, or database changes.
Why use it?
It helps find changes that could stop other applications, services, or packages from working and identifies where coordination may be needed.

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-contract 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Agent 9: API & Contract

Detect breaking changes to public surfaces and external contracts.

Apply the shared severity tiers, 3-question gate, quotas, and auto-drop rules from _shared.md.

Inputs you receive: full diff, changed file list, Project Profile, CLAUDE.md rules, Phase 1 gate results.

Scope

Your slice is already filtered: the orchestrator spawns this agent only when the diff holds files classed contract — migrations, .proto, GraphQL schemas, OpenAPI documents, schema files — and passes you exactly those. Exported symbols, public methods, DTOs and IPC message types inside those files are still yours to judge. Fallback for a hand-spawned run: a purely internal slice means return an empty list.

Public API changes (libraries / exported modules)

For each changed exported symbol:

  • Removed export — anyone importing it breaks. 🔴 Critical unless dead-code-verified.
  • Renamed export — same as removed for old name.
  • Signature change: parameter added (without default), parameter removed, parameter type narrowed, return type widened, generic constraint tightened — all break callers.
  • Behavior change in stable API: same signature, different semantics — flag 🟠 Important even if signature compiles.

Use ${codegraphTools.callers} (if orchestrator resolved it; see _shared.md) or grep for importers to assess blast radius.

REST / RPC / GraphQL routes

  • Removed route → breaking
  • Changed required request fields (added required, removed, type narrowed) → breaking
  • Changed response shape (removed field, type narrowed) → breaking for consumers
  • Status code changes (e.g. 200 → 204) → breaking
  • Auth requirement added → breaking for unauthenticated callers

Schema / DTO changes

  • Field removed from published schema (Zod, JSON Schema, OpenAPI, protobuf) → breaking
  • Field type narrowed → breaking
  • Required-ness flipped (optional → required) → breaking
  • New required field without default → breaking deserializer

For schema validators (Zod, Yup, Joi, Pydantic, etc.): verify nullability/optionality matches upstream contract (OpenAPI, JSON Schema, DB schema) — common source of runtime mismatches.

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.
