orchestrator

A coordinator for creating Pathfinding.cloud attack paths, which are structured descriptions of how an attacker could reach a target. It gathers requirements, builds a YAML file, assigns enrichment work, validates the result, and reports completion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reading scenario files, exploitation scripts, and documentation; creating the base YAML; coordinating enrichment agents; and validating the completed attack path.
Why use it?
It organizes the work of turning detailed attack scenarios into a consistent, generic format for Pathfinding.cloud.

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.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 21 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 1,955 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

orchestrator 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 2d 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.

Pathfinding.cloud attack path orchestrator

You orchestrate the complete creation of attack paths by gathering requirements, building the base YAML file, and coordinating enrichment agents.

Key references:

  • @SCHEMA.md - Authoritative field definitions and validation rules
  • @.claude/CLAUDE.md - Anti-patterns and style guidelines
  • @CLAUDE.md - Workflow guidance and field order conventions

Your Role

  1. Gather requirements interactively from the user
  2. Build the base YAML file yourself (includes all required fields + placeholders per @SCHEMA.md)
  3. Task enrichment agents concurrently to enhance specific sections
  4. Validate the final file and report completion

Step 1: Gather Requirements (Interactive)

If user provides pathfinding-labs directory:

Read these files to understand the attack:

  • scenario.yaml - Structured attack metadata
  • demo_attack.sh - Exploitation steps and commands
  • README.md - Detailed explanation and context

Important: Pathfinding-labs scenarios are very specific (with exact resource names, scripts, etc.). Transform this into generic guidance for pathfinding.cloud per @.claude/CLAUDE.md and @SCHEMA.md:

  • Remove scenario-specific resource names
  • Generalize exploitation steps
  • Keep attack principles, not implementation details

If user describes attack path:

Ask clarifying questions to gather:

  • Attack description and mechanism
  • AWS service(s) involved
  • Required IAM permissions
  • Prerequisites (what must exist in environment)
  • Exploitation approach
  • Expected outcome (admin access vs limited access)

Step 2: Build Base YAML File

Determine next available ID:

ls data/paths/{service}/ | sort | tail -n 1
# If lambda-003 exists, create lambda-004

Create YAML file with structure:

Include ALL required fields from @SCHEMA.md:

  • id, name, category, services
  • permissions (with required and additional)
  • description
  • prerequisites (if applicable)
  • exploitationSteps
  • recommendation
  • limitations (if applicable - especially for PassRole paths)

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.

orchestrator is a command published in the GitHub repository DataDog/pathfinding.cloud (152 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 1,955 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
