Use this skill when building or reviewing a server-side endpoint, route handler, server action, webhook, cron job, or background worker in any language. Covers per-route authorization and IDOR, input validation at the trust boundary, rate limiting, SSRF, file uploads, JWT and session handling, tenant isolation, and error or log leakage.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# API hardening

Most breached endpoints were authenticated. The pattern is not "no login" — it is
"logged in, and the handler never checked that this row belongs to this caller."
Authorization is per route, per object, every time. This skill is the server-side
pass that goes route by route.

## When to activate

- Any new or changed endpoint: REST route, GraphQL resolver, RPC/tRPC procedure,
  server action, webhook receiver, queue consumer, cron entry.
- Anything touching auth, sessions, roles, tenants, payments, uploads, or PII.
- A bug report shaped like "user A can see user B's data" or "it 500s with a weird message".
- Before a deploy that exposes a new surface publicly.

## Route inventory first

Enumerate what exists before judging it. Grep the router, not your memory:

```
# Node/Next
rg -n "app\.(get|post|put|patch|delete)|router\.(get|post|put|patch|delete)" src
rg -n "export async function (GET|POST|PUT|PATCH|DELETE)" app
rg -n "'use server'" -l app src
# Python / Go / PHP
rg -n "@app\.(route|get|post)|@router\.(get|post)" .
rg -n "http.HandleFunc|mux.Handle" .
rg -n "Route::(get|post|put|delete)" routes
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add chadixearth/graphyloop/api-hardening@sha256:10225ad2de42623d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260816.37028bb, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
