What it does

Implementing Endpoint Detection With Wazuh is an agent skill from mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills. Deploys and configures Wazuh SIEM/XDR for endpoint detection, covering agent authentication and management, custom decoder and rule XML creation, alert querying via the Wazuh REST API, rule testing with wazuh-logtest, and automated active-response actions. Use when setting up endpoint detection and response, writing or testing custom Wazuh rules, or querying and triaging Wazuh alerts.

Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/api-reference.md` and `scripts/agent.py`).

It sits in Security, covering Security operations, REST APIs and Authentication. The repository describes itself as: 817 structured cybersecurity skills for AI agents · Mapped to 6 frameworks: MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF 2.0, MITRE ATLAS, D3FEND, NIST AI RMF & MITRE F3 (Fight Fraud) · agentskills.io…. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Setting up endpoint detection and response
  • Testing custom Wazuh rules
  • Querying and triaging Wazuh alerts

Example prompts

  • “Use the implementing-endpoint-detection-with-wazuh skill to deploy and configures Wazuh SIEM/XDR for endpoint detection, covering agent…”
  • “/implementing-endpoint-detection-with-wazuh”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Authenticate to Wazuh API
  2. List and Monitor Agents
  3. Query Security Alerts
  4. Test Custom Rules with Logtest

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 54a7988. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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.

Context cost

Implementing Endpoint Detection With Wazuh loads about 582 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 108 tokens; SKILL.md has 200 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~108
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~582
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.1k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Implementing Endpoint Detection with Wazuh

Overview

Wazuh is an open-source SIEM and XDR platform for endpoint monitoring, threat detection, and compliance. This skill covers managing agents via the Wazuh REST API, creating custom decoders and rules in XML for organization-specific detections, querying alerts, and testing rule logic using the logtest endpoint.

When to Use

  • When deploying or configuring implementing endpoint detection with wazuh capabilities in your environment
  • When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements
  • When building or improving security architecture for this domain
  • When conducting security assessments that require this implementation

Prerequisites

  • Wazuh Manager 4.x deployed with API enabled
  • Python 3.9+ with requests library
  • API credentials (username/password for JWT authentication)
  • Understanding of Wazuh decoder and rule XML syntax

Steps

Step 1: Authenticate to Wazuh API

Obtain JWT token via POST to /security/user/authenticate.

Step 2: List and Monitor Agents

Query agent status, versions, and last keep-alive via /agents endpoint.

Step 3: Query Security Alerts

Search alerts by rule ID, severity, agent, or time range.

Step 4: Test Custom Rules with Logtest

Use the /logtest endpoint to validate decoder and rule logic against sample log lines.

Expected Output

JSON report with agent inventory, alert statistics, rule coverage, and logtest validation results.
