saw-api-target-configuration

saw-api-target-configuration is a skill for Cursor from snyk/saw-mcp. It costs 69 tokens per session (2,691 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A setup guide for adding API targets to Snyk API & Web, a service that scans APIs for security issues. It is intended for OpenAPI or Swagger schemas, Postman collections, or requests explicitly described as API targets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure API security-scanning targets from an OpenAPI or Swagger schema, a Postman collection, or an explicitly named API target.
Why use it?
It prevents API setup from being confused with website setup and describes how to handle credentials when configuring a scan.

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

saw-api-target-configuration scanned grade A with 0 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

API Target Configuration Skill (Snyk API & Web)

Configure API targets for Snyk API & Web security scanning. For web application targets with authentication, use the saw-web-target-configuration skill instead.

When you finish adding/configuring a target, always summarize it with a table, and include a link to the target on Snyk API & Web. Use the Snyk API & Web app URL https://plus.probely.app. Include a column if you added extra hosts or not and in case you did, which ones.

Use the credential manager for sensitive values (API keys, Bearer tokens, Basic Auth passwords, etc.) by default. Store values via probely_create_credential with is_sensitive=True and use the returned uri (e.g. credentials://xxxx) in the API. If the user explicitly declines, inline values are allowed.

Non-sensitive values (non-secret header names, environment labels) can be passed inline.

Shared Credentials Across Multiple Targets

When configuring multiple targets that use the same credentials, the credential may already exist in the credential manager from a previous target. Since sensitive (obfuscated) values cannot be read back, the agent cannot verify whether it matches — this causes a new credential entry per target, polluting the credential manager.

Rule: When multiple targets share the same credential and it already exists with is_sensitive=True, prompt the user to deobfuscate it (update to is_sensitive=False via probely_update_credential) so it can be read back and reused across targets. Inform the user why deobfuscation is needed.

Workflow for shared credentials:

  1. Create the credential normally with is_sensitive=True for the first target.
  2. When a subsequent target needs the same credential, find the existing one via probely_list_credentials.
  3. If the existing credential is sensitive (is_sensitive=true), prompt the user: "The credential '' is obfuscated. To reuse it across multiple targets, it needs to be deobfuscated. Would you like to proceed?"
  4. If the user agrees, update it: probely_update_credential(credentialId, is_sensitive=False).
  5. Reuse the same credential uri for the new target.
