rest-api

rest-api is a cursor rule for Cursor from kubev2v/forklift-console-plugin. It costs 20 tokens per session (4,014 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A REST API for Forklift inventory data, such as virtual machines, networks, storage, and hosts. A REST API is a web interface that lets software request and use data through defined URLs.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps expose inventory services over a secured connection, with provider routes, authentication-related setup, pagination, and web server configuration.
Why use it?
It gives the frontend a consistent way to retrieve provider details, choose virtual machines, and configure mappings.

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

rest-api 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 29d 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.

Forklift Inventory REST API

Analyzed from commit: baf9c7bcc307ed9358ad59886a5536366a050012 on 2026-09-17 Source paths: pkg/forklift-api/services/, pkg/controller/provider/web/

Package Purpose

The inventory REST API exposes provider inventory data (VMs, networks, storage, hosts, trees, workloads) collected by per-provider inventory collectors. Handlers live in pkg/controller/provider/web/ and register on a gin router started by the inventory controller (pkg/controller/provider/controller.go). The console plugin proxies these endpoints through the OpenShift Console inventory API.

A separate forklift-api process (pkg/forklift-api/) serves TLS utilities on port 8444 and admission webhooks on 8443 — it does not host inventory routes.


Server Setup

Inventory API (provider controller)

pkg/controller/provider/controller.go  →  Add()
  ├── libcontainer.New()
  ├── libweb.New(container, web.All(container, k8sClient)...)
  ├── web.Port = Settings.Inventory.Port   (env: API_PORT, default 8080)
  └── web.Start()   (TLS when Settings.Inventory.TLS.Key is set)
  • Port: API_PORT env var (default 8080 in pkg/settings/inventory.go)
  • Framework: gin-gonic/gin
  • Handler registration: web.All() aggregates all libweb.RequestHandler implementations; each calls AddRoutes(*gin.Engine)
  • Proxied path: Console plugin calls getInventoryApiUrl(path) — paths are relative (providers/...), not absolute
