fastapi-middleware

fastapi-middleware is a cursor rule for Cursor from toptalentcoder/Cursor-AwesomeRules. It costs 91 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of fastapi-middleware, CC0-1.0.

Guidelines for using middleware in FastAPI, a layer that can process requests and responses across an application. They cover logging, unexpected errors, performance checks, and consistent data validation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding request logs, error monitoring, response validation, or shared performance handling to a FastAPI API.
Why use it?
It helps keep cross-application concerns in one place and makes expected and unexpected errors easier to handle consistently.

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

fastapi-middleware 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to fastapi-middleware — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

  • Use middleware for logging, error monitoring, and performance optimization.
  • Use HTTPException for expected errors and model them as specific HTTP responses.
  • Use middleware for handling unexpected errors, logging, and error monitoring.
  • Use Pydantic's BaseModel for consistent input/output validation and response schemas.

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.
