stackhawk-api

stackhawk-api is a cursor rule for Cursor from stackhawk/agent-skills. It costs 137 tokens per session (2,444 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for querying StackHawk, a security testing platform, through its command-line tool. It returns security reports, findings, scan history, and app information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review security posture, list applications, inspect scan history, view untriaged findings, and manage finding triage.
Why use it?
It gives the agent a defined way to inspect security results and identify findings that need attention without writing custom API requests.

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

stackhawk-api scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

StackHawk API Skill

This skill enables Claude to act as a security reporting agent against the StackHawk platform. The core workflow is:

Question → Authenticate → Query API via hawk op → Present Results → Suggest Next Actions

All platform queries run through the hawk binary's op subtree (hawk op …). It authenticates, refreshes tokens, follows pagination, and emits stable JSON. There is no raw-REST fallback — if hawk is unavailable, install it and run hawk init --browser rather than hand-rolling curl. See references/hawk-op-shortcuts.md.

Step 1: Assess Context

Before making any calls, check what's available:

  1. Is hawk installed and configured? (hawk version reports v6.0.0 or greater)

    # Identify the driving skill for CLI usage telemetry (read by hawk/hawkop).
export _STACKHAWK_SKILL=api
command -v hawk >/dev/null && hawk op status
    • valid org + JWT → proceed.
    • installed but unconfigured → hawk init --browser (interactive; the combined binary has no hawk op init — hawk init writes ~/.hawk/hawk.properties, which hawk op reads along with the HAWK_API_KEY env var).
    • not installed → instruct the user to install the hawk CLI (docs: docs.stackhawk.com) and stop; do not fall back to curl.

  2. Is hawk op authenticated? For interactive local use, hawk init --browser stores credentials in ~/.hawk/hawk.properties — no env var needed for interactive sessions. Verify:

    hawk op status

    Any non-interactive session (CI, containers, headless agents): set HAWK_API_KEY. hawk op reads it directly — no config file, no browser.

  3. Is orgId known? Required for most endpoints.

    • hawk op org get returns the active org UUID.
    • hawk op org set <ID> switches the default org.

  4. Route based on user intent:

    User says... Go to...
    "What's my security posture?" or "dashboard" Step 3 (org summary)
    "Tell me about [app]'s findings" or "what needs attention" Step 4 (app deep dive)
    "What apps haven't been scanned recently?" Step 3 with stale-app focus
    "What changed since last week?" or "what's new" Step 4 with diff recipe
    "Show me untriaged findings" Step 3, then drill into Step 4 for flagged apps
