ironbee-backend-devtools-cli

ironbee-backend-devtools-cli is a skill for Claude Code from ironbee-ai/ironbee-devtools-skills. It costs 156 tokens per session (3,643 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A command-line tool for checking backend services, the parts of an application that handle requests and data. It can work with HTTP, gRPC, GraphQL, and WebSocket services, collect logs, and compare database state.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to drive backend requests, capture logs from files, Docker, or Kubernetes, and verify PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQLite data with snapshots, differences, and change feeds.
Why use it?
It brings API calls, log collection, and database verification into one workflow instead of requiring separate tools. It works with services regardless of the programming language or framework used.

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 B, and why

ironbee-backend-devtools-cli scanned grade B with 2 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 8d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

IronBee Backend DevTools CLI

Command-line interface for the backend platform of IronBee DevTools. Talks to backend services over their wire protocols (HTTP, gRPC, GraphQL, WebSocket), captures logs from file / Docker / Kubernetes sources, and verifies state against Postgres / MySQL / SQLite databases. Runtime- and language-agnostic — it binds to protocols, not frameworks.

For browser automation use ironbee-browser-devtools-cli. For Node.js inspector-based debugging use ironbee-node-devtools-cli.

Installation

# Install this skill (skills.sh)
npx skills add ironbee-ai/ironbee-devtools-skills

# Install the CLI binary (same package as the rest of IronBee DevTools)
npm install -g @ironbee-ai/devtools

Requires Node.js >= 22.16.0 (engines.node in the package): the backend db domain's SQLite engine and the FTS5 scenario-search strategy run on Node's built-in node:sqlite, which replaced the last native dependency.

Port note

All IronBee DevTools CLIs default to daemon port 2020. If you run more than one daemon at a time, give the backend daemon its own port (browser 2020, node 2021, backend 2022, android 2023, terminal 2024, python 2025 by convention):

PLATFORM=backend ironbee-backend-devtools-cli daemon start --port 2022
ironbee-backend-devtools-cli --port 2022 request http --url "https://api.example.com/health"

Quick Start

# 1. Start daemon (if not running)
ironbee-backend-devtools-cli daemon start

# 2. Call an HTTP endpoint
ironbee-backend-devtools-cli --json request http --url "https://api.example.com/health"

# 3. Capture logs around a request (file source)
ironbee-backend-devtools-cli log register-source --name app --type file --path /var/log/app.log
ironbee-backend-devtools-cli --json log read --source app --tail 100 --level ERROR

# 4. Verify a database row changed after the operation
ironbee-backend-devtools-cli db connect --name main --type postgres --connection-string-env DATABASE_URL
ironbee-backend-devtools-cli --json db query --connection main --sql "SELECT id, status FROM orders WHERE id = $1" --params '["abc-123"]'

Changes

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.
