Official Orso Connect website
API security testing agent for Windows
Orso Connect 2.9.26 is an autonomous agent for api penetration testing. It runs tools, checks results, and manages your workflow on Windows.
Read the OpenAPI spec and verify that user B cannot access user A's orders.

API security testing for your own APIs
API security testing verifies that your API lets only the right user perform the right action with the correct data, and the agent helps you check access control while you review results. You decide. The agent runs tools to check input validation and other security aspects. You control the data that the agent tests during the session.
Verify IDOR with JWT tokens
Orso Connect is an autonomous AI agent for Windows 10/11 (x64), current version 2.9.26, and it runs as an api security testing tool that executes commands directly. Start testing. Use read_file to open the OpenAPI document and locate every endpoint definition inside the working folder. Run grep to search the source code for route handlers that process user data requests. Execute http_get to send HTTP requests to the staging server and verify the access control logic. Shell commands handle a test command of your own that you define.
Tool trace
read_file api.yaml → loaded
grep /users/{id} → 3 matches
http_get /users/123 → 403 ForbiddenAPI pentesting workflow
Use grep to find route handlers in the codebase structure and read_file to read the OpenAPI specification file content carefully so you understand the API design. Write lines. The agent reads the plan file to execute checks while you see the output in the chat window. Accept the diff after verifying the changes made to your files. This workflow supports api pentesting for your authorized APIs effectively. Orso Connect version 2.9.26 runs these steps locally on your machine.
Tool trace
read_file openapi.yaml -> lists endpoints and parameters
grep -r "secret" src/ -> finds hardcoded keys in code
edit_file config.py -> moves keys to configuration
http_get https://staging.example.com/orders/123 -> returns 403 ForbiddenAPI security scanning automation
Orso Connect version 2.9.26 uses grep to search source code for candidate hardcoded keys and Shell to run a scanner you already use against your own staging, which finds only some problems. Review each finding. The edit_file tool shows diffs for proposed fixes so you can review changes before applying them. The read_file tool reads configuration details to identify the correct staging endpoint for the test run. You should consider jwt vs session authentication when validating tokens in your API security scanning workflow. Check the logs carefully to ensure that no sensitive data leaks during the process.
Tool trace
read_file openapi.yaml
grep -r "SECRET_KEY" src/
edit_file src/config.py (proposes moving key to env)
read_file .env.exampleCheck API penetration testing results
The agent runs the Shell command to verify the exit code, and it uses read_file to inspect the generated report file for findings. You verify the details. You read the report carefully and re-test after each fix. The agent uses grep to search for specific patterns in the codebase during the review. The process is transparent and auditable for your records before you confirm the results. The OWASP API Security Top 10 is an awareness list.
Tool trace
Shell: exit code 0 — grep -r "token" src/auth/
read_file: src/auth/jwt_handler.py (report: 1 match found for 'secret_key' in config)
Shell: exit code 1 — grep -r "password" logs/access.logHow it differs from a typical chat assistant
Orso Connect 2.9.26 runs tools itself and shows you the real results of every action, which aids in understanding idor with jwt tokens for your API. It works now.
| Typical chat assistant | Orso Connect | |
|---|---|---|
| Action | Suggests what to do | Runs the tool itself |
| Result | Shows text summary | Shows full output card |
| Control | No approval mode | Ask first or Auto-run |
| Files | No file access | Reads and edits files |
How to get started
- Download the setup program on Windows 10 or 11.
- Run the installer to install Orso Connect.
- Open the app and select your AI model.
- Start a chat and describe your API task.
Who uses Orso Connect
Security practitioners verify access control on their own staging API and confirm that object-level permissions function correctly for every user role. Check the results. Finding sensitive information from GraphQL requires careful review of the output.
The agent reads error responses on staging to verify input validation while running commands that display real results for the API you own right now. Review the output. This confirms the thoroughness of your comprehensive security review process today.
Orso Connect helps auditors use the OWASP API Security Top 10 as a starting list, and the agent helps write findings they must verify. Auditors verify twenty-six items carefully.
Frequently asked questions
What is api security testing?
The OWASP list serves as an awareness guide for API security reviews, so it is not a standard or certificate that guarantees total security. Start here. It covers broken object level authorization risks for your API.
Is orsoapi.com the official Orso Connect website?
Yes, orsoapi.com is the official Orso Connect website, so you can verify the installer integrity by comparing its SHA-256 checksum with the published manifest before running it on your Windows machine. Send feedback. The site hosts the download and records the IP address.
Does the agent run locally?
Yes, the app runs locally on your PC and chats stay there, but prompts go to the model endpoint you choose, so only with a local model nothing leaves the machine. It stays local. Secrets are redacted before sending to the model endpoint.
What is an API security check?
A planned test with a written scope defines the boundaries for an api security assessment of an API you own or have written permission to test. Clear scope. This approach ensures precise coverage of all critical endpoints during the testing phase.
Can I use a local model?
Yes, you can use a local model so that your data stays on your PC and the prompts go only to the endpoint you pick. It is private. Chats and keys remain securely on the machine without leaving the device.
How do I verify the download?
The SHA-256 checksum is a unique digital fingerprint calculated from the downloaded file, and you verify it against the published manifest to confirm the 34 MB setup program integrity. Match the hash. This confirms the installer integrity before you run it on your Windows PC.
What does the tool do during an api security scan?
The agent performs security checks by running your own scanner against staging, so you verify each finding carefully before accepting any changes to the code. No scanner. It lists the results for your review and helps you understand the security posture of your application.
