API Endpoint Adversarial Fuzzing & Boundary Matrix
Generate adversarial fuzzing test cases, SQL injection payloads, and schema violation matrices for REST endpoints.
Generate adversarial payload matrices and automated fuzzing tests to ensure endpoints reject malformed data, payload explosions, and injection attacks with 4xx errors.
Execution Workflow Procedure
Ordered steps the coding agent executes when performing this skill.
Construct Type Coercion & Overflow Payloads
Generate oversized arrays, 10MB strings, deeply nested JSON trees, and type-coercion values.
Generate Injection & Character Vector Matrix
Assemble SQLi, XSS, path traversal, UTF-8 multibyte, and null-byte test vectors.
Generate Automated Fuzzing Test Code
Write automated tests that execute the matrix and assert consistent 400/422 status codes without 500 crashes.
Agent Safety Guardrails & Anti-Hallucination Rules
- DO NOT allow endpoints to throw unhandled 500 Internal Server Errors on malformed client input.
- DO NOT expose internal database exception traces in error responses.
Expected Output Format
Markdown test matrix and automated execution code.
