What you can do
- API Inventory & Discovery — View all auto-discovered APIs in your environment, including unknown or shadow APIs (
get_inventory). Retrieve schema details, identify exposed sensitive data (PII), and analyze structural drifts (get_endpoint). - Threat Intelligence & Monitoring — Monitor active API attacks and business logic abuses as they happen (
get_attacks). Profile known threat actors to uncover behavioral patterns (get_attackers). - Active Remediation — Respond to incidents immediately by triggering blockade commands against attackers, seamlessly passing instructions to your integrated WAFs (
block_attacker). - Posture & Governance Assessment — Identify design flaws and vulnerabilities before they reach production (
get_posture_vulnerabilities). Manage OpenAPI (OAS) specifications (list_oas_specs,upload_oas_spec) and verify active governance rules (get_governance_policies).
