standard-security-agent

A coding rule for securing API routes, database queries, forms, and user input. It requires validation with Zod and protections against SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS), a way attackers can place code in pages viewed by others.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or reviewing API endpoints, database access, form handling, or any feature that accepts user input. It focuses on validation, database-query safety, and protection from malicious browser code.
Why use it?
It reduces common security weaknesses when new code accepts or processes data. The rule makes validation and safe handling part of implementation and review.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 42 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 646 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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

standard-security-agent 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 3d 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 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.
