auditing-declarative-authorization

auditing-declarative-authorization is a skill for Claude Code from UnboundCompute/security-agent-skills. It costs 111 tokens per session (1,496 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security review guide for access rules declared in configuration or framework settings instead of written directly in each request handler. It covers rules for database rows, routes, gateways, serverless functions, and ownership of individual objects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect role and policy rules, check which routes or resources they cover, and test access with different users, roles, and tenants.
Why use it?
It helps find both missing protection and rules that enforce the wrong restriction. These problems can be hidden when checks are attached indirectly through configuration.

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

auditing-declarative-authorization 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 129 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Auditing declarative authorization: coverage and correctness are two audits

Modern authorization is often declarative: a policy attached to a table, a filter registered on a controller, a rule in a gateway or serverless config. The strength of that model is also its weakness, security depends on the rule being attached to every path that needs it, and on the rule actually expressing the intended constraint. The failures are gaps (a route the filter never covers) and mis-statements (a rule that checks the wrong thing), and both are invisible if you only read the routes that are protected.

When to use

  • You are reviewing role- or policy-driven access control.
  • Authorization is enforced by row-level policies, controller filters, middleware, or gateway rules.
  • Protection depends on a rule being attached per route, per table, or per resource.

Scope check

Audit access control in systems you own or are authorized to test, with test accounts across roles and tenants. If you can't name the authorization, stop.

The loop

  1. Locate every declared rule and its scope. Inventory the authorization rules: row-level policies, controller filters, middleware, gateway or serverless access rules, and ownership checks. For each, determine exactly which paths, tables, or resources it covers. The audit is about coverage and correctness, so start by mapping what each rule protects.

  2. Find the paths the rule does not cover. Enumerate every route, query, or resource access and check which are not covered by any rule. A framework filter that must be added per controller is missing wherever a developer forgot it; a policy on one table does not protect a sibling table or a raw query that bypasses the policy layer. The uncovered path is the bug.

  3. Check the default of the policy layer. When no rule matches, does access default to deny or allow? A row-level-security system with policies enabled but a permissive fallback, or a gateway that allows unmatched routes, grants access wherever a rule is absent. Confirm the default is deny.

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.

auditing-declarative-authorization is a skill published in the GitHub repository UnboundCompute/security-agent-skills (5 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 111 tokens to every session and 1,496 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
