xurl-api-probing

xurl-api-probing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aaronnat23/disp8ch. It costs 0 tokens per session (166 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A methodical guide for testing an API directly with small HTTP requests before diagnosing the application around it. It compares request details and responses to locate the failing boundary.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create minimal reproductions, compare passing and failing requests, capture exact response details, and guide application or configuration fixes.
Why use it?
It prevents app-layer assumptions from hiding problems in authentication, URLs, methods, headers, request bodies, or server responses.

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

xurl-api-probing 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 4d 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 it actually says

XURL API Probing

Probe APIs directly and methodically before assuming the client or app layer is at fault.

Use when

  • An endpoint is failing and the transport details matter.
  • The task needs a minimal repro using HTTP requests.
  • You need to compare raw API behavior against app behavior.

Workflow

  1. Start with the smallest request that proves reachability and auth.
  2. Capture method, URL, headers, body, and the exact status code.
  3. Reduce payloads until the failure shape is obvious.
  4. Compare a passing and failing request whenever possible.
  5. Feed the findings back into the app fix or setup guidance.

Deliverable

  • Minimal request examples.
  • Exact response status and body shape.
  • Root cause or likely boundary.
  • Recommended app-side change or config fix.

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.
