Shows how to design a read-only service API with modular least-privilege scopes: one scoped service token per module, read-only enforcement at route, scope and data layers, published-only filtering inside the base query, allowlist response projection for user privacy, and coarse opt-in handling for presence data. Use …

Fixes this failure: restore the TAP API key's scopes in Proofpoint (or issue a new key with the alert-read scope the integration needs), update the credential the triage agent uses. Use when the exact error or symptom in the title appears. Not for a different error, tool, or a manual process with no such failure.
Fixes this failure: run the hash lookup in smaller lookback windows and page the advanced hunting query, recording the coverage window in the campaign report. Use when the exact error or symptom in the title appears. Not for a different error, tool, or a manual process with no such failure.
Fixes an agent reconciliation summary that cited transactions not in the source file, with hallucinated matches in the exception report: invalidate the report, re-derive every cited match from the source data, and add citation verification to the agent's reporting step. Use when an agent's narrative output invents tra…
Fixes a pentest agent losing the rules of engagement from context mid-run, by pinning scope and constraints as checked state the tools enforce. Use when an agent's later actions drift from the authorized scope, windows, or prohibited actions set at the start. Not for deliberate scope changes, which the client must app…
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent hit Burp collaborator rate limit mid-authorized-test and failed to recover dropped callbacks - agent scan credentials expired mid-run; authenticated scan failed on authorized test account
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: agent's rules of engagement dropped from context mid-run on authorized test
Problem outcome: unknown
Fixes a pentest agent re-running the full authorized scope after a partial failure, by retrying only the failed subset recorded in the run manifest. Use when a small number of failed targets triggers a complete rescan. Not for failures caused by a broken tool configuration, where every result is suspect and a full rer…
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent ran the full e2e suite per candidate version instead of the affected subset - 4 hours per bump, 12 bumps deep - agent ran the full suite instead of the affected tests: how to scope
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: agent re-ran the full scope scan instead of retrying only the failed subset
Problem outcome: unknown
Fixes a pentest agent reporting no vulnerabilities after parsing an empty nuclei JSONL as a clean result, by treating empty scanner output as a failed run until proven otherwise. Use when a report claims a clean target but the underlying nuclei output file is empty. Not for genuinely clean scans with a full output rec…
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - security agent hallucinated a CVE not in NVD: verification workflow - agent hallucinated a fivetran connector id that does not exist, sync check failed
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: agent hallucinated a vulnerability not present in any scanner output
Problem outcome: unknown
Handles a pentest agent stalling when it hits an authorized target's rate limit, by backing off, pacing requests, and recording throttled targets for later completion. Use when scan progress halts after rate-limit responses from an in-scope target. Not for targets that are down, which need availability checks, not pac…
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - recon agent hit API rate limit mid-scan and its scan failed on authorized target - rate limit hit mid-run: agent ZAP spider failed after WAF blocked authorized target scan
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: agent hit the target's rate limit and the scan stalled mid-engagement
Problem outcome: unknown
Fixes a pentest agent losing all progress when a scan times out on a large authorized scope, by checkpointing per-target results as the scan runs. Use when a timeout discards completed work on an in-scope engagement. Not for short scans where a simple rerun is cheaper than checkpoint machinery.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent timed out waiting for gobuster recursive scan; the scan failed on large authorized site - agent timed out waiting for nmap full-port scan; the scan failed on authorized subnet
