implementing-api-gateway-security-controls

implementing-api-gateway-security-controls is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Njones17/AI-agent-master-cyber-skills-list. It costs 106 tokens per session (3,564 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A guide for configuring an API gateway, the central service that receives API requests before passing them to backend services. It covers controls such as authentication, rate limits, request checks, IP allowlists, encrypted connections, and threat protection.

In plain words
What is it for?
Setting up security controls in Kong, AWS API Gateway, Azure API Management, or Apigee, including authentication enforcement, request validation, TLS termination, and IP filtering.
Why use it?
It helps place common security checks at one central point instead of configuring them separately in every backend service.

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

implementing-api-gateway-security-controls 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 11d 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.

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.
