Reliability & compatibility
Declared compatibility
Compatibility is declared by the source manifest. End-to-end runtime verification is coming, see below.
We're building live execution health for every listing: tool-call success rate, median latency, uptime, and last-checked timestamps, measured, not self-reported. It isn't live yet, so we don't show numbers we can't stand behind.

SKILL: API Authorization and BOLA — Object Access, Function Access, and Mass Assignment
> AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Use this skill when an API exposes object IDs, nested resources, or role-sensitive functions and you need a focused authorization test path: BOLA, BFLA, method abuse, and hidden field control.
1. CORE TEST LOOP
- Create Account A and Account B.
- As Account A, capture create, read, update, and delete flows.
- Replay with Account B's token.
- Test sibling endpoints, nested endpoints, and alternate HTTP verbs.
2. TEST SURFACES
| Surface | Example | |---|---| | object read | /api/v1/orders/123 | | nested object | /api/v1/users/1/invoices/9 | | admin or internal function | /api/v1/admin/users | | update path | PUT, PATCH, DELETE variants | | hidden JSON fields | role, org, verified, tier |
3. QUICK PAYLOADS
{"role":"admin"}
{"isAdmin":true}
{"org":"target-company"}
{"verified":true}
4. WHAT TESTERS MISS
- object IDs in headers, cookies, GraphQL args, and nested objects
- alternate methods sharing the same route but weaker authz
- parent check present, child resource check missing
- admin docs revealing extra writable fields
5. NEXT ROUTING
- For JWT or token-layer abuse: [api auth and jwt abuse](../api-auth-and-jwt-abuse/SKILL.md)
- For GraphQL and hidden parameter discovery: [graphql and hidden parameters](../graphql-and-hidden-parameters/SKILL.md)
- For broader IDOR patterns outside APIs: [idor broken object authorization](../idor-broken-object-authorization/SKILL.md)
