GraphQL and hidden parameter testing playbook. An agent skill from yaklang/hack-skills.

  • Works in 4 steps: GRAPHQL FIRST PASS → HIGH-VALUE GRAPHQL TESTS → HIDDEN PARAMETER DISCOVERY → …
  • Exploring introspection

What it does

Graphql And Hidden Parameters is an agent skill from yaklang/hack-skills. GraphQL and hidden parameter testing playbook. Use when exploring introspection, batching, undocumented fields, hidden parameters, schema abuse, and GraphQL authorization gaps.

Its SKILL.md is about 440 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering GraphQL. It works with GraphQL. The repository describes itself as: Helping AI Agent become an awesome practical hacker! The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Exploring introspection
  • Undocumented fields
  • Hidden parameters
  • GraphQL authorization gaps

Example prompts

  • “/graphql-and-hidden-parameters”

Workflow steps

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

  1. GRAPHQL FIRST PASS
  2. HIGH-VALUE GRAPHQL TESTS
  3. HIDDEN PARAMETER DISCOVERY
  4. NEXT ROUTING

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6fbf0bc. 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 (its code samples are graphql).

    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

Graphql And Hidden Parameters loads about 441 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 176 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~441

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.

SKILL: GraphQL and Hidden Parameters — Introspection, Batching, and Undocumented Fields

AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Use this skill when GraphQL exists or when REST documentation suggests optional, deprecated, or undocumented fields. Focus on schema discovery, hidden parameter abuse, and batching as a force multiplier.

1. GRAPHQL FIRST PASS

graphql
query { __typename }
query {
  __schema {
    types { name }
  }
}

If introspection is restricted, continue with:

  • field suggestions and error-based discovery
  • known type probes like __type(name: "User")
  • JS and mobile bundle route extraction

2. HIGH-VALUE GRAPHQL TESTS

ThemeExample
IDORuser(id: "victim")
batchingarray of login or object fetch operations
hidden fieldsadmin-only fields exposed in type definitions
nested authz gapsrelated object fields with weaker checks

3. HIDDEN PARAMETER DISCOVERY

Look for:

  • fields present in admin docs but not public docs
  • additionalProperties or permissive schemas
  • frontend code using richer request bodies than visible UI controls
  • mobile endpoints carrying role, org, feature-flag, or internal filter fields
