'Securing API Gateway endpoints with AWS WAF by configuring managed rule.
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
# Securing API Gateway with AWS WAF ## When to Use - When deploying API Gateway endpoints that require protection against common web attacks - When implementing rate limiting and throttling to prevent API abuse and DDoS attacks - When building bot detection and mitigation for API endpoints exposed to the internet - When compliance requires WAF protection for all public-facing API endpoints - When customizing access controls based on IP reputation, geolocation, or request patterns **Do not use** for network-level DDoS protection (use AWS Shield), for application logic vulnerabilities (use SAST/DAST tools), or for internal API security between microservices (use service mesh authentication and authorization). ## Prerequisites - AWS API Gateway (REST or HTTP API) deployed with public endpoints - IAM permissions for `wafv2:*` and `apigateway:*` operations - CloudWatch and S3 or Kinesis Firehose configured for WAF logging - Understanding of the API's expected traffic patterns for rate limiting configuration - IP reputation lists or threat intelligence feeds for custom IP blocking ## Workflow ### Step 1: Create a WAF Web ACL with Managed Rule Groups …

How to install
mdr add adriannoes/awesome-agentic-ai/securing-api-gateway-with-aws-waf@sha256:ea9a6357d74a3a95The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
