Operator
Operator is an autonomous API penetration testing agent that parses an OpenAPI or Swagger specification, enumerates documented operations, and tests them.
What Operator is
Operator is an autonomous API penetration testing agent that parses an OpenAPI or Swagger specification, enumerates documented operations, and tests them. It covers REST, GraphQL, and gRPC APIs, as well as agents and RAG systems behind them. Tests target BOLA, BFLA, broken authentication, injection, and related authorization weaknesses across roles and tenants. Customers supply a verified domain, API base URL, specification, and a bearer token for each user role. Each reported finding includes requests and responses, reproduction steps, a CVSS v3.1 vector, and remediation guidance. Findings can be routed to developer and operations tools, CI/CD pipelines, SIEM systems, webhooks, or Operator’s documented API. The free plan is available, and paid plans are quoted. Operator tests only documented operations in the supplied specification; it does not perform blind fuzzing. Engagement data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is limited to the assigned team, and data is not used to train models or build datasets.
