Endpoints: Analyzers & Rules

Analyzers

GET /analyzers

List all registered analyzer backends.

Response 200

{
  "analyzers": [
    {"name": "terraform-plan", "description": "Analyses terraform plan output…"}
  ]
}

---

GET /orgs/{org_id}/analyzers

Requires admin role. Every registered analyzer with this org’s enabled/disabled override — an analyzer with no override on file is enabled by default.

Response 200

{
  "analyzers": [
    {
      "name": "terraform-plan",
      "description": "Analyses terraform plan output…",
      "version": "1.0.0",
      "file_globs": [],
      "enabled": true
    }
  ]
}

---

POST /orgs/{org_id}/analyzers/{analyzer_name}

Requires admin role. Enable or disable a registered analyzer for this org. A disabled analyzer’s rules/ingest/analyze endpoints return 404 for this org — the org simply can’t see it, not “forbidden.”

Request body

{"enabled": false}

Response 200

{"analyzer_name": "terraform-code-change", "enabled": false}

Status	Description
200	Override saved
404	analyzer_name isn’t a registered analyzer

---

DELETE /orgs/{org_id}/analyzers/{analyzer_name}

Requires admin role. Shorthand for POST with {"enabled": false}.

Status	Description
200	Analyzer disabled
404	analyzer_name isn’t a registered analyzer

---

GET /{analyzer_name}/rules

Return the Markdown security ruleset for an analyzer.

Parameter	Description
analyzer_name	Registered analyzer name (e.g. terraform-plan)

Parameter	Type	Description
type	string (optional)	Sub-category filter (e.g. aws, gcp)

Status	Description
200	Markdown text (text/markdown)
404	Analyzer not found, or no rule file for the requested type
501	Analyzer does not support rules yet

curl http://localhost:8000/terraform-plan/rules
curl http://localhost:8000/terraform-plan/rules?type=aws

---

POST /{analyzer_name}/{namespace}/ingest

Parse raw input and split it into analysis units.

Parameter	Description
analyzer_name	Registered analyzer name
namespace	Logical grouping for this analysis run (e.g. prod-deploy-42)

Request body — text/plain, raw plan output (max 10 MB)

Response 201

[
  {
    "hash": "a3f1c2d4e5b6",
    "type": "aws_db_instance",
    "name": "orders",
    "action": "create",
    "body": "resource \"aws_db_instance\" \"orders\" {\n  storage_encrypted = false\n}",
    "metadata": {"resource_address": "aws_db_instance.orders"}
  }
]

Field	Type	Description
hash	string	Stable content hash — use this key for analysis submission
type	string	Terraform resource type
name	string	Resource name from the plan
action	string	create / update / destroy / no-op
body	string	Full resource block (content to analyse)
metadata	object	Parser-level metadata

Status	Description
201	Ingested — returns unit list
404	Unknown analyzer
413	Input > 10 MB
422	Empty body
501	Analyzer does not support ingestion

Tip

Sending the same input twice is safe — existing resources are not duplicated, namespace membership is updated idempotently.

---

POST /{analyzer_name}/{namespace}/analyze

Server-side analysis: ingest and analyze in one call, instead of driving the get_next_resource/submit_analysis loop yourself. The server calls the LLM provider directly.

Parameter	Description
analyzer_name	Registered analyzer name
namespace	Logical grouping for this analysis run

Request body — application/json

{
  "llm_backend": "anthropic",
  "model": "claude-sonnet-5",
  "api_key": "sk-...",
  "raw_input": "Terraform will perform the following actions:\n\n  # aws_db_instance.orders will be created\n  ...",
  "rule_type": "aws"
}

Field	Type	Description
llm_backend	string	anthropic, mistral, or openai
model	string	Provider-specific model name
api_key	string | null	LLM provider API key. Omit to fall back to a credential stored via POST /orgs/{org_id}/llm-credentials
raw_input	string	Same raw text you’d send to .../ingest
rule_type	string | null	Optional rule sub-category, e.g. aws

Small inputs (at most server.sync_analysis_max_units, default 5, ingested units) run inline:

Response 200 (sync)

{"report_markdown": "# Analysis Report\n...", "resource_count": 3, "quota_exceeded": false}

Larger inputs are processed as a background job:

Response 202 (async)

{"job_id": "b7e2...", "status": "queued"}

Poll GET /jobs/{job_id} for completion.

Status	Description
200	Analysis complete (sync) — full report
202	Job queued (async) — poll for status
400	No api_key given and none stored for this org/provider, or (llm_backend, model) isn’t on the allowed-models catalog
402	Org’s monthly LLM spend cap already met/exceeded — checked before any work starts, see Billing / quota
404	Unknown analyzer, or analyzer disabled for this org
413	Input exceeds server.max_input_size_mb
501	Analyzer does not support ingestion
502	LLM provider returned output that couldn’t be parsed (sync path only)

Note

Resources already analysed via the client-led loop are skipped — calling /analyze on a namespace that’s partially done only processes what’s left, and vice versa.

Caution

If the org’s monthly budget runs out partway through a run, the call/job still succeeds (200/202 → done) but quota_exceeded: true is set and the report only covers the units analysed before the budget hit zero — see Billing / quota.

---

POST /{namespace}/ingest/auto

Like POST /{analyzer_name}/{namespace}/ingest, but without naming an analyzer — each file in a unified diff is routed to whichever registered analyzer’s file_globs matches its path; a single non-diff blob is matched via each analyzer’s optional sniff() hook. Used by the GitHub webhook internally, and available directly for any caller that doesn’t already know which analyzer applies (e.g. a PR diff that may touch several file types).

Parameter	Description
namespace	Logical grouping for this analysis run

Request body — text/plain, raw diff or single-file content (max 10 MB)

Response 201

{
  "units": [{"hash": "a3f1c2d4e5b6", "type": "aws_db_instance", "name": "orders", "action": "create", "body": "...", "metadata": {"analyzer": "terraform-code-change", "...": "..."}}],
  "analyzers_used": ["terraform-code-change", "blackhole"],
  "detections": [
    {"path": "main.tf", "detected_kind": "hcl", "analyzer": "terraform-code-change", "confidence": 1.0, "reason": null, "fallback": false},
    {"path": "README.md", "detected_kind": "markdown", "analyzer": "blackhole", "confidence": 0.0, "reason": "no analyzer available for this file type", "fallback": true}
  ]
}

Field	Type	Description
units	array	Same shape as .../ingest’s response, merged across every matched analyzer
analyzers_used	string[]	Analyzers actually invoked
detections	array	One entry per file (diff input) or one entry for the whole blob (non-diff input) — analyzer: null means nothing matched, with reason explaining why (no analyzer recognises this content, the matching analyzer is disabled for this org, or it requires a paid plan); fallback: true means analyzer is the generic blackhole analyzer rather than a real match — see below

Status	Description
201	At least one file/blob matched an analyzer
413	Input > 10 MB
422	Empty body, or nothing matched any analyzer (detections explains why) — cannot happen when blackhole is installed and enabled, since it always claims whatever nothing else does

Tip

A file this content type has no analyzer for is reported in detections, not silently dropped — this replaced an earlier design where an unrecognised file in a diff simply disappeared with no trace. If the optional blackhole analyzer plugin is installed and enabled for the org, that file is additionally routed there for a best-effort (not guaranteed) analysis instead of being left unmatched — its Detection has "fallback": true and analyzer: "blackhole" rather than null.

---

POST /{namespace}/analyze/auto

Server-side counterpart to POST /{namespace}/ingest/auto — same auto-routing, plus the LLM call, same sync-vs-background-job split as POST /{analyzer_name}/{namespace}/analyze.

Parameter	Description
namespace	Logical grouping for this analysis run

Request body — same as .../analyze, without rule_type: each matched analyzer always uses its own default_rule_type — a single variant override doesn’t mean the same thing across different analyzers in one run.

Response 200/202 — same as .../analyze, plus analyzers_used/detections (sync response) or the same two fields on the polled GET /jobs/{job_id} document (async).

{"report_markdown": "# Analysis Report\n...", "resource_count": 3, "quota_exceeded": false, "analyzers_used": ["terraform-code-change"], "detections": [{"path": "main.tf", "detected_kind": "hcl", "analyzer": "terraform-code-change", "confidence": 1.0, "reason": null, "fallback": false}]}

Status	Description
200	Analysis complete (sync) — full report
202	Job queued (async) — poll for status
400	No api_key given and none stored, or (llm_backend, model) not on the allowed-models catalog
402	Org’s monthly LLM spend cap already met/exceeded, or org not entitled
422	Empty body, or nothing matched any analyzer
502	LLM provider returned output that couldn’t be parsed (sync path only)

---

GET /jobs

List/filter analysis jobs for the caller’s org, newest first. Covers jobs from every trigger — the dashboard’s Analyze page as well as the GitHub webhook. It’s the only place to see webhook-triggered jobs; a client that just called /analyze only knows about the one job it launched.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
status	string	—	queued, running, done, failed, or cancelled
limit	int	50	Page size (1–200)
offset	int	0	Pagination offset

Response 200

{
  "jobs": [
    {
      "job_id": "b7e2...",
      "org_id": "...",
      "namespace": "prod-deploy-42",
      "analyzer": "terraform-plan",
      "status": "done",
      "mode": "async",
      "created_at": "2026-07-09T00:00:00Z",
      "finished_at": "2026-07-09T00:00:05Z",
      "resource_count": 14,
      "quota_exceeded": false,
      "error": null
    }
  ],
  "total": 1
}

---

GET /jobs/{job_id}

Poll the status of an async /analyze job.

Response 200

{
  "job_id": "b7e2...",
  "org_id": "...",
  "namespace": "prod-deploy-42",
  "analyzer": "terraform-plan",
  "analyzers_used": [],
  "detections": [],
  "status": "done",
  "mode": "async",
  "created_at": "2026-07-09T00:00:00Z",
  "finished_at": "2026-07-09T00:00:05Z",
  "resource_count": 14,
  "processed_count": 14,
  "total_count": 14,
  "current_resource": {
    "hash": "9f2c...",
    "resource_address": "aws_s3_bucket.example",
    "type": "aws_s3_bucket"
  },
  "quota_exceeded": false,
  "error": null
}

status transitions queued → running → done | failed | cancelled. Once done, fetch the report via GET /{namespace}/report as usual — a cancelled job also leaves a readable report, covering whatever it analyzed before it stopped.

analyzer is the literal "auto" for a job created via /analyze/auto or the GitHub webhook — analyzers_used/detections (same shape as /{namespace}/ingest/auto’s response, see above) then carry the actual breakdown. Both are empty arrays for an explicit-analyzer job.

current_resource is the resource most recently completed by the analysis loop. The loop analyzes a batch of resources concurrently (analysis.max_concurrent_units, default 4), so while status == "running" this is one of the resources in flight rather than the only one — treat it as “roughly where the job is”, with processed_count/total_count as the exact measure. It’s null until the loop has processed at least one resource, and isn’t cleared on completion (it reflects the last resource processed).

Status	Description
200	Job found
404	Unknown job, or belongs to a different org

---

POST /jobs/{job_id}/retry

Resumes a failed job under a new job_id — the failed job is left untouched, not reset in place. namespace, analyzer, and llm_backend/model/rule_type are read from the original job; only ingested-but-unanalysed resources are processed, the same “resources already analysed are skipped” behavior .../analyze itself has when called again on a partially-analysed namespace — a job that died partway through a large run only re-does what it never got to.

Only resumes the analysis phase

raw_input is never persisted anywhere — only the resources it ingests are. A job that failed before ingest completed (a parse error, or the process crashing before any resource was created) has nothing to resume from and 422s here; resubmit the original .../analyze or .../ingest request instead. GET /jobs/{job_id} distinguishes the two: resource_count (or any resource actually present under the job’s namespace) confirms ingest got somewhere.

Request body (all fields optional)

Field	Type	Description
api_key	string	Never stored, same as .../analyze. Falls back to the org’s stored credential for the job’s llm_backend — the only option if the original request’s api_key was inline and never stored either.

Response 202

{ "job_id": "c91f...", "status": "queued", "retry_of": "b7e2..." }

Status	Description
202	Retry started — poll GET /jobs/{job_id} (the new one) as usual
400	No api_key given and none stored, or (llm_backend, model) no longer on the allowed-models catalog
402	Org’s monthly LLM spend cap already met/exceeded, or org not entitled
404	Unknown job, or belongs to a different org
409	Job isn’t failed, or was triggered by the GitHub webhook — push a new commit (the PR’s synchronize event) to re-trigger analysis for those instead
422	Job predates retry support (no stored llm_backend/model), or nothing was ingested before it failed

---

POST /jobs/{job_id}/cancel

Stops a queued or running job so it stops spending the org’s LLM budget. Available on every trigger — a webhook-triggered job costs exactly what a dashboard one does.

Cooperative, not instantaneous

Cancelling writes a status; the runner notices it between batches of concurrent LLM calls, so a running job stops within roughly one call’s latency rather than immediately. The calls already in flight have been paid for either way, and their results are kept rather than discarded — processed_count on the cancelled job tells you how far it actually got.

A cancelled job is terminal and is not retryable through POST /jobs/{job_id}/retry (which only accepts failed). Nothing is lost, though: the namespace keeps every resource analyzed before the stop, so re-submitting the same .../analyze request picks up exactly where this left off and re-analyzes nothing — the same resume behavior a retry would have given you.

Response 200

{ "job_id": "b7e2...", "status": "cancelled", "was": "running" }

was is the status the job was in when it was cancelled: queued means it never reached the LLM at all, running means it stops after its current batch settles.

Status	Description
200	Cancelled
404	Unknown job, or belongs to a different org
409	Job already reached a terminal state (done, failed, or cancelled)

Cancelling a GitHub-triggered job posts nothing to the PR

A webhook job that’s cancelled mid-run leaves no PR comment and no commit status. A partial report read as a complete one is worse than no report — the commit status especially would go green on a diff most of which was never analyzed. Push a new commit to re-trigger the check; it’ll only analyze what the cancelled run didn’t get to.

---

Custom rules

Structured, individually addressable security rules an org layers onto one or more analyzers’ built-in rulesets — replaces an earlier single free-text “rule pack” per (org, analyzer). Every enabled rule targeting an analyzer is appended after that analyzer’s built-in rules whenever GET /{analyzer}/rules is called (or resolved inline via get_next_resource), grouped by category. New orgs get every registered analyzer’s built-in rules imported automatically as enabled rows (is_builtin_seed: true) at setup — POST /orgs/{org_id}/rules/seed-builtin is the idempotent manual backdoor for orgs that predate this or after a new analyzer is registered.

rule_id is immutable

rule_id is a slug derived from title at creation and never changes afterward, even if title is later edited — Finding.rule_id/findings triage records reference it, and re-slugging on every title edit would silently orphan them.

POST /orgs/{org_id}/rules

Requires admin role. category must be a category_id this org owns (see Rule categories) — validated at write time.

Request body

{
  "title": "Missing cost-center tag",
  "description": "Flag any resource missing a cost-center tag",
  "category": "cost_scale",
  "severity": "MEDIUM",
  "analyzers": ["terraform-plan", "terraform-code-change"],
  "rule_type": null,
  "enabled": true,
  "requires_review": false
}

Field	Type	Default	Description
title	string	—	1–200 chars
description	string	—	Markdown detection guidance fed to the LLM
category	string	—	A category_id this org owns
severity	string	—	CRITICAL / HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW / INFO
analyzers	string[]	—	≥ 1 analyzer name this rule applies to
rule_type	string | null	null	Scopes to one analyzer variant (e.g. aws); null applies to every variant
enabled	bool	true	—
requires_review	bool	false	A match always starts as needs_review instead of open, regardless of LLM confidence — for judgment-call rules (e.g. “is this the right module for this use case”) rather than a deterministic pass/fail

Response 201

{
  "rule_id": "missing-cost-center-tag",
  "org_id": "8f2a...",
  "title": "Missing cost-center tag",
  "description": "Flag any resource missing a cost-center tag",
  "category": "cost_scale",
  "severity": "MEDIUM",
  "analyzers": ["terraform-plan", "terraform-code-change"],
  "rule_type": null,
  "enabled": true,
  "requires_review": false,
  "is_builtin_seed": false,
  "created_by": "u1...",
  "created_at": "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z",
  "updated_at": null
}

Status	Description
201	Created
404	An analyzers entry isn’t a registered analyzer name
422	category doesn’t resolve to a category this org owns

---

GET /orgs/{org_id}/rules

Any member. Filter by analyzer, category, rule type, and/or enabled state.

Parameter	Type	Description
analyzer	string	Only rules targeting this analyzer
category	string	Exact category_id
rule_type	string	Exact rule variant
enabled	bool	Filter by enabled state

Response 200 — {"rules": [...]}, each shaped like the create response above.

---

GET /orgs/{org_id}/rules/{rule_id}

Any member. 404 if not found.

---

PATCH /orgs/{org_id}/rules/{rule_id}

Requires admin role. Partial update — only fields present in the body change. rule_id itself never changes, even if title does.

Status	Description
200	Updated — returns the full rule, same shape as create
404	Rule not found
422	An updated analyzers entry isn’t registered, or category doesn’t resolve

---

DELETE /orgs/{org_id}/rules/{rule_id}

Requires admin role.

Status	Description
200	Deleted
404	Rule not found

---

POST /orgs/{org_id}/rules/seed-builtin

Requires admin role. (Re-)imports every registered analyzer’s built-in rules as enabled, editable rows. Idempotent — skips any rule already seeded for this org+analyzer+variant (matched by title, not the built-in file’s own id), so it’s safe to call again after a new analyzer or rule variant is registered.

Response 200

{"created": 24}

---

Rule categories

The grouping custom rules are organized under — an org-owned list, not a fixed enum. Every category is fully editable and deletable, including the 9 seeded defaults; there’s no protected/system category. Deleting a category still referenced by a rule is not blocked — GET /{analyzer}/rules groups any rule whose category no longer resolves under a fixed “Uncategorized” heading rather than erroring. New orgs get the 9 defaults seeded automatically, always before custom rules are seeded (built-in rules reference these same category ids) — POST /orgs/{org_id}/rule-categories/seed-defaults is the idempotent manual backdoor for orgs that predate this.

POST /orgs/{org_id}/rule-categories

Requires admin role. category_id is derived from name and is immutable afterwards.

Request body

{"name": "Cost & Scale"}

Response 201

{
  "category_id": "cost-scale",
  "org_id": "8f2a...",
  "name": "Cost & Scale",
  "is_builtin_seed": false,
  "created_by": "u1...",
  "created_at": "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z",
  "updated_at": null
}

---

GET /orgs/{org_id}/rule-categories

Any member. Lists every category for this org.

Response 200 — {"categories": [...]}, each shaped like the create response above.

---

GET /orgs/{org_id}/rule-categories/{category_id}

Any member. 404 if not found.

---

PATCH /orgs/{org_id}/rule-categories/{category_id}

Requires admin role. Renames name — category_id itself never changes.

Request body

{"name": "Cost, Scale & Capacity"}

Status	Description
200	Renamed — returns the full category
404	Category not found

---

DELETE /orgs/{org_id}/rule-categories/{category_id}

Requires admin role. Not blocked by in-use rules — see the section intro above.

Status	Description
200	Deleted
404	Category not found

---

POST /orgs/{org_id}/rule-categories/seed-defaults

Requires admin role. (Re-)imports the 9 default categories. Idempotent — skips any category_id already present for this org.

Response 200

{"created": 9}

---
