API Inventory Scanner Skill

Discovers and documents existing API endpoints through code analysis, log inspection, and traffic analysis.

Purpose

Enable API discovery for:

• Endpoint discovery
• Request/response format extraction
• Authentication method detection
• Rate limit identification
• Consumer mapping

Capabilities

1. Endpoint Discovery

• Parse route definitions
• Analyze controller code
• Inspect API frameworks
• Find undocumented endpoints

2. Request/Response Format Extraction

• Extract request schemas
• Document response formats
• Identify query parameters
• Map headers and cookies

3. Authentication Method Detection

• Identify auth mechanisms
• Document token formats
• Map permission requirements
• Catalog security schemes

4. Rate Limit Identification

• Find rate limit configurations
• Document throttling rules
• Identify quotas
• Map limit tiers

5. Consumer Mapping

• Identify API consumers
• Track usage patterns
• Map client dependencies
• Document integrations

6. Usage Pattern Analysis

• Analyze access logs
• Identify hot endpoints
• Track response times
• Map error rates
