What is stackhawk-api?

A skill for querying StackHawk, a platform that reports security scan results for applications. It uses the hawk command-line tool to retrieve findings, app details, scan history, and related reports.

It is for reviewing security findings, checking an application's security status, managing app information, viewing scan history, and triaging issues.

It gives an agent a defined way to inspect security information without writing its own direct web requests or pagination handling.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add stackhawk/agent-skills --skill stackhawk-api

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/stackhawk/agent-skills

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install wingman, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 2 skills.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00149	$0.02470
Opus 5.5	$0.00060	$0.00988

Security

Grade A, and why

stackhawk-api 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 8d 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.

StackHawk API Skill

This skill enables Claude to act as a security reporting agent against the StackHawk platform. The core workflow is:

Question → Authenticate → Query API via hawk op → Present Results → Suggest Next Actions

All platform queries run through the hawk binary's op subtree (hawk op …). It authenticates, refreshes tokens, follows pagination, and emits stable JSON. There is no raw-REST fallback — if hawk is unavailable, install it and run hawk init --browser rather than hand-rolling curl. See references/hawk-op-shortcuts.md.

Step 1: Assess Context

Before making any calls, check what's available:

Is hawk installed and configured? (hawk version reports v6.0.0 or greater)
```
# Identify the driving skill for CLI usage telemetry (read by hawk/hawkop).
export _STACKHAWK_SKILL=api
command -v hawk >/dev/null && hawk op status
```
- valid org + JWT → proceed.
- installed but unconfigured → hawk init --browser (interactive; the combined binary has no hawk op init — hawk init writes ~/.hawk/hawk.properties, which hawk op reads along with the HAWK_API_KEY env var).
- not installed → instruct the user to install the hawk CLI (docs: docs.stackhawk.com) and stop; do not fall back to curl.
Is hawk op authenticated? For interactive local use, hawk init --browser stores credentials in ~/.hawk/hawk.properties — no env var needed for interactive sessions. Verify:
```
hawk op status
```
Any non-interactive session (CI, containers, headless agents): set HAWK_API_KEY. hawk op reads it directly — no config file, no browser.
Is orgId known? Required for most endpoints.
- hawk op org get returns the active org UUID.
- hawk op org set <ID> switches the default org.

Route based on user intent:

User says...	Go to...
"What's my security posture?" or "dashboard"	Step 3 (org summary)
"Tell me about [app]'s findings" or "what needs attention"	Step 4 (app deep dive)
"What apps haven't been scanned recently?"	Step 3 with stale-app focus
"What changed since last week?" or "what's new"	Step 4 with diff recipe
"Show me untriaged findings"	Step 3, then drill into Step 4 for flagged apps

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.
