Short answer

How can I audit my API security designs using AI?

You tell your AI to run a security audit on your OpenAPI or Swagger file. The AI triggers the scan and then fetches a full report of the risks it found. You'll get a clear breakdown of vulnerabilities and design flaws.

Security outcomes

Where your security data lands.

The AI moves through the audit process and organizes the results for you.

SCAN

Automated risk detection

The AI initiates a scan of your specification file. It looks for structural weaknesses and security gaps in your API design.

REPORT

Detailed risk analysis

Your agent pulls the full audit report. You get a list of specific vulnerabilities found during the scan.

TRIAGE

Vulnerability prioritization

The AI categorizes the findings. You can ask it to group risks by severity or type to see what to fix first.

HUMAN

Manual remediation

The AI identifies the flaws, but you decide how to rewrite the spec to fix them. You maintain full control over the final design.

The workflow

What your AI does when the spec arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between your API files and the 42Crunch security engine.

  1. Start the scan

    The AI sends your OpenAPI or Swagger specification to the security engine to begin the analysis.

    trigger_audit

  2. Fetch findings

    Once the scan finishes, the AI retrieves the specific risk data and vulnerability details.

    get_audit_report

  3. Analyze risks

    The AI reads the report to identify high-priority security issues in your design.

    get_audit_report

  4. Summarize results

    The AI presents the final security posture and specific flaws in your chat interface.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI fix the security flaws in my API spec automatically?

    No. The AI can identify and report the flaws, but you must manually edit the specification to implement the fixes.

  • 02

    Does the AI scan my live API endpoint?

    No. This tool audits the design specifications, not the running production traffic.

  • 03

    Can I run multiple audits on the same file?

    Yes. You can trigger a new audit whenever you make changes to your specification.

  • 04

    Will the AI delete my original specification files?

    No. The AI only reads the files to perform the audit; it has no capability to delete or modify your local files.

  • 05

    How does the AI get the results?

    The AI uses the get_audit_report tool to pull the findings directly from the 42Crunch security engine.
