What this skill does


# Implementing Runtime Application Self-Protection

## Overview

Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) instruments application code at runtime to detect and block attacks by examining actual execution context rather than relying solely on network traffic patterns. Unlike WAFs that inspect HTTP requests externally, RASP agents intercept dangerous operations (SQL queries, file operations, command execution, deserialization) at the function level inside the application, achieving near-zero false positives. This skill covers deploying OpenRASP for Java applications, configuring detection policies for OWASP Top 10 attacks, tuning alerting thresholds, and integrating RASP telemetry with SIEM platforms.


## When to Use

- When deploying or configuring implementing runtime application self protection capabilities in your environment
- When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements
- When building or improving security architecture for this domain
- When conducting security assessments that require this implementation

## Prerequisites

- Java 8+ application server (Tomcat, Spring Boot, or JBoss) or Python Flask/Django application
- OpenRASP agent package (rasp-java or equivalent)
- OpenRASP management console for centralized policy management
- SIEM integration endpoint (Splunk HEC, Elasticsearch, or syslog)
- Application staging environment for RASP testing before production

## Steps

### Step 1: Deploy RASP Agent

Install the RASP agent into the application server runtime using JVM agent attachment for Java or middleware hooks for Python.

### Step 2: Configure Detection Policies

Define detection rules for SQL injection, command injection, SSRF, path traversal, XXE, and deserialization attacks with block or monitor actions.

### Step 3: Tune and Baseline

Run the agent in monitor mode during normal operations to establish baseline behavior and tune policies to reduce false positives before switching to block mode.

### Step 4: Integrate with SIEM

Forward RASP alerts to the SIEM for correlation with WAF, IDS, and authentication events to build comprehensive attack timelines.

## Expected Output

JSON report containing RASP policy audit results, detected attack attempts with stack traces, blocked requests summary, and coverage assessment against OWASP Top 10.

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

alibabacloud-data-agent-skill

Included

Invoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
