Point Planck Operator at your API. It parses your OpenAPI spec, tests every documented operation the way an attacker would — BOLA, BFLA, broken auth, mass assignment, injection, across user roles — and proves each finding with the exact request and response. Continuous, spec-driven, and safe against production.
Setting up an API engagement takes minutes. You define the target and scope; the agent does the rest and streams its work live.
The host must be your verified domain or a subdomain of it. Every request stays under this base — no other host is touched.
We parse the spec to list its operations. Only documented operations are tested.
Uncheck any operation you do not want tested. Include all · Exclude all
One bearer token per user type. Add two or more to unlock cross-account BOLA/BFLA testing (we send one role’s requests as another).
Scope: 37 operation(s) · 2 authenticated role(s) · agentic testing across every included operation.
This is the operator console as a real API scan runs — parsing the spec, testing operations, chaining a leaked token, and confirming each finding.
The agent maps to the 2023 OWASP API Security Top 10 and extends it with classic injection on every parameter your spec exposes.
The number one API risk. We request other users’ objects by ID across roles to prove BOLA and IDOR reads and writes.
Forgeable or non-expiring tokens, weak JWT handling, and unauthenticated endpoints that should require a session.
Setting fields you should not be able to set, and reading properties that should never leave the server.
Missing rate limits and unbounded queries that let one caller exhaust or bill your infrastructure.
Calling admin or privileged functions as a lower-privileged role, tested by replaying one role’s requests as another.
Sensitive business-flow abuse, server-side request forgery, misconfiguration, shadow and deprecated endpoints, and unsafe upstream consumption.
Most serious API breaches are authorization failures, not injection. Finding them requires understanding who should be allowed to do what — something a pattern-matching scanner has no concept of.
You give Operator one bearer token per user type. With two or more, it sends one role’s requests as another and watches what comes back: another tenant’s records, an admin-only function, a resource that should have returned 403. That is BOLA and BFLA, proven with the exact cross-account request and response.
Every finding is grouped by severity and ships with the request that triggered it, the response that confirms it, and a CVSS v3.1 vector.
An endpoint reachable without a session returns management-panel admin credentials in its response — a full compromise path, confirmed with the exact unauthenticated request.
An unauthenticated operation mints a valid JWT for an arbitrary device_id with no attestation, enabling unlimited account creation. Reproduced and rated.
Agentic API penetration testing gives you continuous, spec-driven coverage across every operation, run as often as your API ships. Our manual API security testing adds a senior tester who goes deep on business-logic abuse and chained flaws unique to your product.
They are complementary, not rivals. Most teams run the agent continuously and bring a human in for depth on the highest-risk flows. Both map to the same standards and deliver the same proof-based findings. See how the category works in our guide to agentic pentesting.
A one-off API pentest is stale the day after it ships — your next release adds an endpoint it never saw. Agentic testing runs on every change, so coverage keeps pace with your API instead of a calendar. There is no per-test fee that punishes you for testing more often; you test as often as you deploy.
It also finds the class of bug scanners cannot: object and function level authorization. See how we keep noise near zero in reliability and accuracy, and where the market is heading in our state of agentic pentesting report.
Agentic API penetration testing uses an autonomous AI agent to test an API the way an attacker would. It parses your OpenAPI or Swagger spec, enumerates every documented operation, reasons about which are abusable, and tests them for authorization, authentication, and injection flaws across multiple user roles. It reproduces each finding with the exact request and response before reporting it, so you receive proven, exploitable issues rather than a list of unverified alerts.
A scanner matches known patterns on individual requests and cannot understand your business logic. An agent reasons across operations: it sends one role’s requests as another to find broken object and function level authorization, chains a leaked token into a privileged call, and confirms impact by carrying the attack through to effect. Scanners flag; the agent proves.
The OWASP API Security Top 10: broken object level authorization (BOLA), broken authentication, broken object property level authorization and mass assignment, unrestricted resource consumption, broken function level authorization (BFLA), unrestricted access to sensitive business flows, server-side request forgery, security misconfiguration, improper inventory management, and unsafe consumption of APIs, plus classic injection on every parameter the spec exposes.
Yes, and they are the core of the engagement. You provide one bearer token per user type; with two or more roles the agent sends one role’s requests as another to detect broken object level authorization (BOLA) and broken function level authorization (BFLA), the cross-account and privilege boundary failures that scanners cannot find because they have no concept of who should be allowed to do what.
Yes. The scan defaults to read-only, sending only GET, HEAD, and OPTIONS, which is safe against production. You can opt in to writes (POST, PUT, PATCH) or to writes plus DELETE for disposable test data. Scope is locked to your verified domain and the base URL you set, every request stays under that base, and you can exclude any operation before launch.
A verified domain, an API base URL under it, and your OpenAPI or Swagger spec (uploaded, linked, or pasted). Optionally, one bearer token per user role to unlock authenticated and cross-account testing, and any global headers such as an API key. The agent parses the spec, lists the operations in scope, and only tests what you include.
They are complementary. Agentic API penetration testing gives you continuous, spec-driven breadth across every operation, run as often as your API changes. Manual API security testing adds a senior human tester who goes deep on business-logic abuse and chained flaws unique to your product. Most teams run the agent continuously and bring a human in for depth on the highest-risk flows.
No. Every finding is reproduced before it is reported, with the exact request and response that prove it, so what reaches your tracker is confirmed and exploitable rather than a queue of maybes. Anything the agent cannot reproduce is discarded, and you can route any finding through a senior practitioner for a human signature before it lands.
Agentic API penetration testing uses an autonomous AI agent to test an API the way an attacker would. From your OpenAPI or Swagger spec, the agent enumerates every documented operation, reasons about which are abusable, and tests them for authorization, authentication, and injection flaws — across multiple user roles at once. Every finding is reproduced with the exact request and response before it reaches your report, so you get proven, exploitable issues instead of a queue of unverified alerts.
The agent parses your spec, lists each operation in scope, and tests the ones you include. Only documented operations, no blind fuzzing of endpoints that do not exist.
Give it one token per role and it sends one role’s requests as another — the BOLA and BFLA failures a scanner can never reason about.
Each finding carries a working request and response and a CVSS v3.1 vector. Anything the agent cannot reproduce never reaches you.
Give Operator your spec and a token per role. It will tell you what an attacker can reach — and prove it.
