Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00049 | $0.02201 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00024 | $0.01100 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00440 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00220 |
Grade A, and why
graphql-injection-introspection 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 12d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to graphql-injection-introspection — 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 184 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
GraphQL Security & Introspection
When to Use
- When intercepting web traffic that sends POST requests to
/graphql,/v1/graphql, or/api/graphql. - When requests contain
{"query": "query { ... }"}or{"variables": {...}}JSON structures. - To rapidly map the entire application data model (Introspection), or to test for IDOR/BOLA by exploiting deep relational nesting.
Prerequisites
- Authorized scope and target URLs from bug bounty program
- Burp Suite Professional (or Community) configured with browser proxy
- Familiarity with OWASP Top 10 and common web vulnerability classes
- SecLists wordlists for fuzzing and enumeration
Workflow
Phase 1: Detecting GraphQL & Enabling Introspection
# Concept: Unlike REST, GraphQL uses a single endpoint. If "Introspection" is enabled,
# the GraphQL server will literally explain its entire structure (all queries, mutations,
# and object types) to anyone requesting it.
# 1. Standard Introspection Query (Send via POST /graphql)
{"query":"\n query IntrospectionQuery {\n __schema {\n queryType { name }\n mutationType { name }\n subscriptionType { name }\n types {\n ...FullType\n }\n directives {\n name\n description\n locations\n args {\n ...InputValue\n }\n }\n }\n }\n\n fragment FullType on __Type {\n kind\n name\n description\n fields(includeDeprecated: true) {\n name\n description\n args {\n ...InputValue\n }\n type {\n ...TypeRef\n }\n isDeprecated\n deprecationReason\n }\n inputFields {\n ...InputValue\n }\n interfaces {\n ...TypeRef\n }\n enumValues(includeDeprecated: true) {\n name\n description\n isDeprecated\n deprecationReason\n }\n possibleTypes {\n ...TypeRef\n }\n }\n\n fragment InputValue on __InputValue {\n name\n description\n type { ...TypeRef }\n defaultValue\n }\n\n fragment TypeRef on __Type {\n kind\n name\n ofType {\n kind\n name\n ofType {\n kind\n name\n ofType {\n kind\n name\n ofType {\n kind\n name\n ofType {\n kind\n name\n ofType {\n kind\n name\n ofType {\n kind\n name\n }\n }\n }\n }\n }\n }\n }\n }\n "}
# 2. Result Analysis:
# If successful, you will receive a massive JSON dump containing the schema.
# Copy the JSON and load it into a tool like GraphQL Voyager (visual graph) or InQL (Burp Extension) to map the database visually.
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

graphql-injection-introspection is a skill published in the GitHub repository akashrpatil/awesome-offensive-security-skills (5 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 2,201 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to graphql-injection-introspection, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other skills, from other repositories
graphql-injection-introspection
Identify and exploit GraphQL API vulnerabilities by leveraging Introspection queries to dump the entire database schema, performing query batching to bypass rate limits (brute forcing), and extracting deeply nested unauthorized data via graph relationship abuse.
graphql-introspection-abuse
Exploit exposed GraphQL introspection endpoints to map the entire API schema. This skill details how to extract available queries, mutations, types, and fields, which significantly aids in identifying hidden endpoints, Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA/IDOR), and mass assignment vulnerabilities.
performing-graphql-introspection-attack
Performs GraphQL introspection attacks to extract the full API schema including types, queries, mutations, subscriptions, and field definitions from GraphQL endpoints. The tester uses introspection queries to map the attack surface, identifies sensitive fields and mutations, tests for query depth and complexity…
api-enumeration-fuzzing-discovery
Systematically discover hidden Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), uncover undocumented endpoints (Shadow APIs), and fuzz parameters. Use this skill as the pivotal first step in API Bug Hunting, transforming a basic frontend application into a vast mapped attack surface.
graphql-idor
Identify and exploit Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) or Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA) vulnerabilities specifically within GraphQL APIs. This skill focuses on manipulating node IDs, changing variables, and utilizing aliases to access unauthorized data.
cors-misconfiguration-exploitation
Identify and exploit Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) misconfigurations. Use this skill when auditing APIs or web applications that share sensitive data across domains, forcing victims' browsers to inadvertently leak private information (e.g., API keys, PII, CSRF tokens) to an attacker-controlled website.
