An API discovery guide for finding endpoints, data formats, versions, and documentation in REST, mobile, and GraphQL APIs.

In plain words
What is it for?

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

api-recon-and-docs 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.

What it actually says

SKILL: API Recon and Docs — Endpoints, Schemas, and Version Surface

AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Use this skill first when the target is a REST, mobile, or GraphQL API and you need to enumerate endpoints, documentation, versions, and hidden surface area before exploitation.

1. PRIMARY GOALS

  1. Discover all reachable API entrypoints.
  2. Extract schemas, optional fields, and role differences.
  3. Identify old versions, mobile paths, GraphQL endpoints, and undocumented parameters.

2. RECON CHECKLIST

JavaScript and client mining

curl https://target/app.js | grep -oE '(/api|/rest|/graphql)[^"'\'' ]+' | sort -u

Common documentation and schema paths

/swagger.json
/openapi.json
/api-docs
/docs
/.well-known/
/graphql
/gql

Version and product drift

/api/v1/
/api/v2/
/api/mobile/v1/
/legacy/

3. WHAT TO EXTRACT FROM DOCS

  • optional and undocumented fields
  • admin-only request examples
  • deprecated endpoints that may still be active
  • schema hints like additionalProperties: true
  • parameter names tied to filtering, sorting, IDs, roles, or tenancy

4. NEXT ROUTING

Finding Next Skill
object IDs everywhere api authorization and bola
JWT, OAuth, role claims api auth and jwt abuse
GraphQL or hidden fields graphql and hidden parameters
strong auth boundary but suspicious business flow business logic vulnerabilities

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.
