xalgorix/xalgorix is a self-hosted AI penetration-testing tool in which an LLM agent performs reconnaissance, looks for vulnerabilities, and coordinates exploitation, while a separate verifier re-tests findings before reporting them. It is for security teams, ethical hackers, and bug bounty work using a private, bring-your-own-LLM setup. The catalogue skills extend the agent's pentesting workflow.
Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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 | $0.00035 | $0.03284 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.01314 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00657 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00328 |
Grade A, and why
implementing-api-schema-validation-security 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 1mo 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.

Implementing API Schema Validation Security
Overview
API schema validation enforces that all data exchanged through APIs conforms to a predefined structure defined in OpenAPI Specification (OAS) or JSON Schema documents. This prevents injection attacks (SQLi, XSS, XXE), blocks mass assignment by rejecting unknown properties, prevents data leakage by validating response schemas, and ensures type safety across all API interactions. Schema validation operates at both the API gateway level (runtime enforcement) and during development (shift-left security).
When to Use
- When deploying or configuring implementing api schema validation security capabilities in your environment
- When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements
- When building or improving security architecture for this domain
- When conducting security assessments that require this implementation
Common Misconfigurations & Verification
additionalPropertiesmissing or true: the single most common gap - withoutadditionalProperties: false, mass-assignment fields pass validation; set it on every object schema.- Request-only validation: validating input but not responses lets excessive-data-exposure through; validate/serialize responses with explicit DTOs.
- Loose constraints: strings without
maxLength/patternand fields withoutenumpermit injection and DoS payloads. readOnlynot enforced server-side: clients can still write readOnly fields if the server only documents them rather than rejecting them.- Permissive/verbose errors: leaking schema detail in 400 responses aids attackers.
- Spec drift: the deployed schema lagging the live API leaves new endpoints unvalidated.
How to verify it works: send a request with an extra/unknown field and confirm 400 (not silent acceptance); submit over-long and pattern-violating values and confirm rejection; attempt to set a readOnly field and confirm it is ignored; force a sensitive field into a response and confirm response validation strips it or fails safely; diff the enforced spec against the live route list.
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.

implementing-api-schema-validation-security is a skill published in the GitHub repository xalgorix/xalgorix (1,213 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 3,284 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
