rest-graphql-debug

rest-graphql-debug is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cyborg-garden/hermes-agent-mt. It costs 21 tokens per session (3,997 once invoked), scanned D, a copy of rest-graphql-debug, MIT.

A workflow for finding and diagnosing problems in REST and GraphQL APIs. REST and GraphQL are two common ways software requests data from a server.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate status-code errors, authentication failures, webhooks, pagination, rate limits, and API integration tests.
Why use it?
It helps separate connection, security, request-format, response, and data-meaning problems instead of guessing at the cause.

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 D, and why

rest-graphql-debug scanned grade D with 3 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.

Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

resp = requests.post( "https://api.example.com/graphql",

Downloads and executes remote codehighSupply chain

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

terminal('curl -s https://api.example.com/users | python3 -m json.tool')

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 515 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

API Testing & Debugging

Drive REST and GraphQL diagnosis through Hermes tools — terminal for curl, execute_code for Python requests, web_extract for vendor docs. Isolate the failing layer before guessing at the fix.

When to Use

  • API returns unexpected status or body
  • Auth fails (401/403 after token refresh, OAuth, API key)
  • Works in Postman but fails in code
  • Webhook / callback integration debugging
  • Building or reviewing API integration tests
  • Rate limiting or pagination issues

Skip for UI rendering, DB query tuning, or DNS/firewall infra (escalate).

Core Principle

Isolate the layer, then fix. A 200 OK can hide broken data. A 500 can mask a one-character auth typo. Walk the chain in order; never skip a step.

1. Connectivity   → can we reach the host at all?
1.5 Timeouts      → connect-slow vs read-slow?
2. TLS/SSL        → cert valid and trusted?
3. Auth           → credentials correct and unexpired?
4. Request format → payload shape match server expectations?
5. Response parse → does our code accept what came back?
6. Semantics      → does the data mean what we assume?

5-Minute Quickstart

REST via terminal

# Verbose request/response exchange
terminal('curl -v https://api.example.com/users/1')

# POST with JSON
terminal("""curl -X POST https://api.example.com/users \\
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \\
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \\
  -d '{"name":"test","email":"[email protected]"}'""")

# Headers only
terminal('curl -sI https://api.example.com/health')

# Pretty-print JSON
terminal('curl -s https://api.example.com/users | python3 -m json.tool')

GraphQL via terminal

terminal("""curl -X POST https://api.example.com/graphql \\
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \\
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \\
  -d '{"query":"{ user(id: 1) { name email } }"}'""")

GraphQL gotcha: servers often return HTTP 200 even when the query failed. Always inspect the errors field regardless of status code:

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.

It adds 21 tokens to every session and 3,997 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (sends data to an external url, downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). It is 97% identical to rest-graphql-debug, differing in 3 lines, and is treated as a copy.
