burp-scan

burp-scan is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from six2dez/burp-ai-agent. It costs 87 tokens per session (6,735 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A Burp Suite scanning guide that uses Burp’s MCP tools to inspect web traffic, test payloads, verify out-of-band behavior, and report vulnerabilities. Burp Suite is a security-testing proxy for web applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with a running Burp Suite AI Agent MCP server to inspect site maps and proxy history, search responses, extract parameters, test requests, and investigate web vulnerabilities.
Why use it?
It organizes discovery, traffic analysis, testing, verification, and reporting into a defined workflow, with prerequisites and safety or licensing requirements noted.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex; mentions Gemini CLI.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is ../../../etc/passwd (Linux - look for root:x:0:0).

Good fit Use it with a running Burp Suite AI Agent MCP server to inspect site maps and proxy history, search responses, extract parameters, test requests, and investigate web vulnerabilities.

About the project

Custom AI Agent is a Burp Suite extension that adds AI-assisted security analysis, scanning, and connections to external AI agents through MCP. It is intended for security testers and bug bounty researchers using local or cloud AI providers during manual and automated web-application testing.

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 C, and why

burp-scan scanned grade C 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 10d 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 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.

burp-scan is a skill published in the GitHub repository six2dez/burp-ai-agent (1,491 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 87 tokens to every session and 6,735 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (cloud metadata endpoint, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
