JFrog Security (Xray)

Instructions for using JFrog Security, also called Xray, to scan software for security problems and manage the resulting policies and violations. An SBOM is a list of the software components used by a project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to scan dependencies, investigate vulnerabilities, create SBOMs, manage security policies, detect secrets, and monitor runtime issues.
Why use it?
They provide the required connection checks, authentication process, and operating rules for security work in a JFrog environment.

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

JFrog Security (Xray) 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 3d 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.

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

> **API transport:** Prefer **`jf api`** (JFrog CLI 2.100.0+). See [jf-api-patterns.md](../jfrog-cli/jf-api-patterns.md) (path-only URLs; auth from `jf config`). Examples using **`curl`** with `$JFROG_URL` + bearer token

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 221 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

API transport: Prefer jf api (JFrog CLI 2.100.0+). See jf-api-patterns.md (path-only URLs; auth from jf config). Examples using curl with $JFROG_URL + bearer token are fallback when the CLI is missing or below 2.100.0.

JFrog Security Skill

Authentication

All requests require an access token via the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer $JFROG_ACCESS_TOKEN

Base URLs:

  • Xray: https://$JFROG_URL/xray/api/...
  • Runtime: https://$JFROG_URL/runtime/api/...

When authentication is needed, follow the login-flow.md procedure to resolve the active JFrog environment. The jf CLI is required and will be installed automatically if missing. The agent checks saved credentials via jf config show and asks which environment to use if multiple are saved. If none exist, the agent drives the web login flow and saves credentials via jf config add.

Pre-flight: Before operations, verify Xray is available: GET $JFROG_URL/xray/api/v1/system/ping (expect HTTP 200). If unavailable, inform the user that Xray is not deployed on this instance and stop.

Core Concepts

Scanning Architecture

JFrog Security scans across the entire SDLC:

  1. IDE -- real-time scanning in developer IDEs via JFrog plugin
  2. Pull Request -- scan PR artifacts before merge (Frogbot)
  3. Build/Binary -- scan after build publish via Xray watches
  4. Continuous Monitoring -- ongoing scanning of all indexed repos for new CVEs

Key Entities

Entity Description
Policy Set of rules defining what constitutes a violation (security, license, or operational risk)
Watch Links policies to resources (repos, builds, release bundles) to trigger scanning
Violation A policy breach found during scanning
Component A software package identified by Xray (name + version + type)
Ignore Rule Exception to suppress specific violations

Files

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.

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.

JFrog Security (Xray) is a skill published in the GitHub repository jfrog/ai-agent-examples (5 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 93 tokens to every session and 2,089 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
