API REFERENCE

The REST API is the product.

RAIDER is API-first: a documented OpenAPI 3.0 REST API is the contract, and the dashboard is just one client. Drive campaigns from CI/CD and gate releases on posture.

Overview

  • Base URL: https://raider.penthos.ai:8443 (your deployment) — all paths below are relative to it.
  • Format: JSON request + response bodies; Content-Type: application/json.
  • Spec: the machine-readable contract is served at /api/spec; an interactive Swagger UI at /api/docs.

Authentication & safety

  • API key: if RAIDER_API_KEY is configured, every non-discovery route requires the header X-RAIDER-API-Key: <key>. The discovery routes (/, /api/health, /api/spec, /api/docs) stay open.
  • Target credentials: a target's bearer token is read at call time and applied in-memory only — it is never written to reports and is redacted in wire logs.
  • SSRF guard: private, loopback, and link-local targets are blocked unless explicitly added to the allow-list.

Endpoints

Discovery & meta

MethodPathDescription
GET/api/healthService health + technique / tactic counts.
GET/api/specOpenAPI 3.0 specification (JSON/YAML).
GET/api/docsInteractive Swagger UI.

ATLAS catalog

MethodPathDescription
GET/api/scenariosList all 27 ATLAS techniques (id, tactic, coverage, OWASP, mitigations).
GET/api/scenarios/{tid}A single technique by AML.T* id.
GET/api/tacticsATLAS tactics (AML.TA*).
GET/api/mitigationsATLAS mitigations (AML.M*).
GET / POST/api/attack_promptsRead or update the auto-attack prompt library; POST /api/attack_prompts/reset restores defaults.

Sessions & target

MethodPathDescription
POST/api/sessions/createCreate an assessment session; returns a session_id.
GET/api/sessionsList sessions with posture score + test counts.
POST/api/target_infoConfigure the target endpoint, model, and auth for a session.
POST/api/list_modelsEnumerate models served at an endpoint.
POST/api/preflightVerify the model an endpoint actually serves (catches self-attack misconfig).

Execution

MethodPathDescription
POST/api/scenarios/executeRun one technique (single-shot or multi-trial for ASR; routes to a probe engine for non-chat techniques).
POST/api/scenarios/auto_attackAutonomous attacker-LLM campaign (PAIR or Crescendo) with per-turn judging.
POST/api/cancelStop an in-flight auto-attack; the partial transcript is recorded.

Configuration

MethodPathDescription
GET / POST/api/configRead / update runtime settings (judge, attacker, trials, consent scopes, allow-list). Live settings apply at once; restart-only settings are saved.
POST/api/restartRestart the process to apply restart-only settings.

Reports (chain-of-evidence)

MethodPathDescription
GET/api/reports/{sid}Live report data — posture, ASR by tactic, coverage, findings, full auto-attack transcripts.
POST/api/reports/generate/{sid}Write the posture report (markdown + JSON) to disk.
GET/api/reports/{sid}/downloadDownload the generated report file (md or json).

Quickstart

BASE=https://raider.penthos.ai:8443
SID=$(curl -s -X POST $BASE/api/sessions/create | python -c "import sys,json;print(json.load(sys.stdin)['session_id'])")
