configure-dast-scan

configure-dast-scan is a skill for Claude Code from harness/harness-ai. It costs 180 tokens per session (5,711 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of configure-dast-scan, Apache-2.0.

A setup helper for Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), which checks a running web application for security weaknesses. It adds a scanner step to an existing Harness pipeline.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add API DAST, Burp Suite Enterprise, OWASP ZAP, Nikto, or Nmap scans to a chosen stage of a Harness pipeline.
Why use it?
It helps teams test the deployed application itself for issues such as API security problems and injection flaws as part of their delivery process.

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

configure-dast-scan 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 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.

Configure DAST Scan

Add a Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) step to an existing Harness pipeline using Harness STO scanners. DAST scanners test running application instances for security vulnerabilities at runtime.

Instructions

Step 1: Establish Scope and Pipeline Context

Ask for org, project, and pipeline identifier if not already known. This skill only works with existing pipelines.

Call MCP tool: harness_get
Parameters:
  resource_type: "pipeline"
  resource_id: "<pipeline_identifier>"
  org_id: "<organization>"
  project_id: "<project>"

Step 2: Analyze Pipeline Structure

Parse the pipeline YAML to identify:

  • All stages and their types (CI, SecurityTests, Deployment, Approval)
  • Whether a SecurityTests stage already exists
  • Existing steps in each stage

Present the structure to the user:

Pipeline: <name>

Stage 1: <stage_name> (type: <stage_type>)
  - Step 1: <step_name> (type: <step_type>)
  ...

Ask the user where they want the DAST scanner step added:

Present the available insertion points:

  • Any existing SecurityTests stage (scanner step is added into that stage's execution.steps)
  • Any existing CI stage (scanner step is added directly into that stage's execution.steps)
  • A new SecurityTests stage (appended to the pipeline)

Recommendation guidance:

  • DAST scans run against a live application instance — they are best placed after deployment so the target is running
  • If the pipeline has a Deployment stage, recommend adding a SecurityTests stage after the deployment stage
  • If no deployment stage exists, the user must provide the target URL of an already-running instance
  • Adding to an existing SecurityTests stage is simplest if one already exists

If the user doesn't specify, default to adding a new SecurityTests stage at the end of the pipeline (or after the Deployment stage if one exists).

Step 3: Recommend Scanner Type

Present the available DAST scanners supported in Harness STO:
