What it does

Burp Interaction is an agent skill from forefy/reburp. Interacting with BurpSuite over the reburp extension that exposes the full Montoya API as a local REST API. Use when driving Burp programmatically - reading proxy history, sending HTTP requests through Burp, managing scope, running scans, decoding/encoding, or ranking traffic - instead of clicking the Burp UI. Also covers installing, building, or loading reburp into Burp when it is not yet set up.

Its SKILL.md is about 880 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Requires BurpSuite

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Penetration testing, REST APIs and OpenAPI specifications. It works with Burp Suite and OpenAPI. The repository describes itself as: A Burp Suite extension that exposes the full Montoya API as a local REST API, with Swagger UI. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Driving Burp programmatically - reading proxy history
  • Sending HTTP requests through Burp
  • Decoding/encoding
  • Ranking traffic - instead of clicking the Burp UI

Example prompts

  • “/burp-interaction”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires BurpSuite

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Confirm the server is up: GET /api/status. If it refuses to connect, reburp is not
  2. Read the live contract instead of guessing endpoint shapes: GET /openapi.json, or open

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d67f831. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Requires BurpSuite

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Burp Interaction loads about 883 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 104 tokens; SKILL.md has 399 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~104
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~883

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Driving Burp Suite over reburp

reburp is a Burp extension that serves the Montoya API as a REST API on http://127.0.0.1:9090. Prefer these endpoints over describing manual clicks in the Burp UI.

Before you start

  1. Confirm the server is up: GET /api/status. If it refuses to connect, reburp is not loaded - see Install reburp below and guide the user through it, then retry.
  2. Read the live contract instead of guessing endpoint shapes: GET /openapi.json, or open http://127.0.0.1:9090/docs for Swagger UI. Endpoint names below can drift; the spec is truth.

Install reburp

Only needed when GET /api/status does not connect. Get the jar, then load it:

  • Download the latest reburp-*.jar from https://github.com/forefy/reburp/releases, or
  • Build it (needs Java 17+): ./gradlew shadowJar, then print the absolute path for the user: ls "$PWD"/build/libs/reburp.jar. Prefer this unversioned jar over the versioned copy beside it: its path survives a version bump, so Burp keeps reloading the extension.

Then in Burp: Extensions -> Installed -> Add, type Java, pick the jar, Next. It starts on port 9090 and adds a reburp tab. Re-check GET /api/status to confirm.

Conventions

  • All bodies and responses are JSON. Errors are { "error": "..." } with a 4xx/5xx status.
  • Pro-only groups (scanner, collaborator) return 403 on Community edition with a message.
  • Every REST call is mirrored in Burp's reburp suite tab, so the user can watch what you do.

Safety

  • The port is unauthenticated and answers any origin. Only ever target 127.0.0.1.
  • POST /api/utils/shell/execute* is remote code execution and is disabled by default. It returns 403 unless the user set REBURP_ENABLE_SHELL=1 in Burp's environment. Do not ask the user to enable it unless the task genuinely needs local command execution, and say what you will run first.
  • Only drive scans and requests against targets the user has confirmed are in scope for their engagement.
