Audit the attack surface a GraphQL API exposes that a plain endpoint does not: schema introspection left open, unbounded query depth and recursion, aliasing and field duplication that multiply cost, query batching that defeats rate limits and enables brute force, field-level authorization that a resolver skips even when the object check passed, and mutations reached without the guard their action needs. Covers the query and variables as the source, the resolver and the data or work it triggers…
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
# Auditing GraphQL attack surface: the schema is the map, the resolver is the guard A GraphQL API gives the client a query language over your data graph, and with it a set of failure modes a fixed endpoint never had. The client, not the server, decides the shape and depth of each request, so cost is client-controlled. The schema describes every type and field, so leaving introspection open hands an attacker the map. And authorization now lives per field and per resolver, so a check that held at the object level can be skipped one field deeper. Two audits sit here: the surface and cost audit (what the client can see and how expensive it can make a request), and the authorization audit (whether every field and mutation enforces the access its data needs). ## When to use - You are reviewing a GraphQL schema, its resolvers, or a gateway that fronts one. - The client controls query shape, depth, aliasing, or batching. - Authorization is enforced in resolvers, per field or per mutation, not only at a route. ## Scope check Audit a GraphQL surface only in systems you own or are authorized to test, with accounts …

How to install
mdr add unboundcompute/security-agent-skills/auditing-graphql-attack-surface@sha256:eb81397af95865c4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260819.0218064, 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.
