scope

scope is a command for Claude Code from Awarexone/Agentic-Bug-Hunter. It costs 0 tokens per session (962 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for checking whether a website, API, app, or URL is included in a security program's allowed targets. It compares the asset with the program's in-scope and excluded lists and checks ownership.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before sending security-testing requests, including for subdomains, API paths, staging systems, and discovered URL lists. It can also filter a list down to allowed URLs using local scope rules.
Why use it?
It helps prevent testing or reporting issues on assets the program does not allow. Reports on excluded targets may be closed, and testing them may lead to account restrictions.

About the project

Agentic Bug Hunter is a terminal toolkit that uses AI to investigate security targets, test for vulnerabilities, validate findings, and write bug bounty reports. It is for ethical hackers submitting findings to platforms such as HackerOne, Bugcrowd, Intigriti, or Immunefi, and can resume previous sessions. The catalogue entries package commands, skills, agents, instructions, hooks, and settings for using the 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

scope 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 129 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/scope

Verify an asset is in scope before hunting or submitting a finding.

Why This Matters

Out-of-scope reports are immediately closed. Testing out-of-scope assets can get you banned. Always check scope BEFORE the first request.

Real example: City of Vienna explicitly excludes /advuew/*. Submitting XSS on that path = instant close.

Usage

/scope api.target.com
/scope https://target.com/api/v2/users
/scope target-staging.company.com
/scope *.company.com

Deterministic Local Check

Use the local scope checker before sending traffic:

python3 tools/scope_checker.py https://api.target.com/v2/users \
  --domain target.com \
  --domain '*.target.com' \
  --exclude-domain staging.target.com

Filter a discovered URL list:

python3 tools/scope_checker.py \
  --domain target.com \
  --domain '*.target.com' \
  --exclude-domain staging.target.com \
  --input-file recon/target.com/urls/all.txt \
  --output recon/target.com/urls/in_scope.txt

Scope Check Process

Step 1: Read In-Scope List

Go to the program page and extract:

In-scope:
- *.target.com
- target.com
- api.target.com
- mobile.target.com (iOS + Android apps)

Out-of-scope:
- staging.target.com (explicitly excluded)
- target.com/help/* (documentation only)
- partners.target.com (third-party managed)

Step 2: Asset Ownership Check

Verify the asset is actually owned by the target company (not a third party):

# WHOIS
whois api.target.com | grep -iE "registrant|admin|tech|org"

# DNS — is it CNAME to a third party?
dig +short api.target.com CNAME
# If CNAME to salesforce.com, zendesk.com, etc. → not in scope

# Check if it's a known third-party service:
# intercom.io, freshdesk.com, zendesk.com, hubspot.com, etc.

Step 3: Wildcard Interpretation

Scope Pattern Covers Does NOT Cover
*.target.com api.target.com, app.target.com target.com itself
target.com target.com only api.target.com
*.target.com + target.com Both Sub-subdomains like a.api.target.com (depends on program)

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.

scope is a command published in the GitHub repository Awarexone/Agentic-Bug-Hunter (5,422 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 962 tokens. 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.
