0upvotes

Run an AWS Security Agent penetration test against a live web application — registers and verifies the target domain, exercises the supplied endpoints with the managed Security Agent service, and returns verified runtime findings. Use when the user asks to pentest, run a penetration test, test their app's attack surface, find runtime vulnerabilities, register or verify a target domain, or check pentest status / findings.

# AWS Security Agent — Penetration Test

This skill handles pentest setup, execution, and findings. Initial Security Agent setup (agent space, role, bucket) is handled by the **`setup-security-agent`** skill — if `.security-agent/config.json` is missing, the pentest workflow auto-runs setup inline first.

Pentests are slow (1-24 hours) and active — they probe a real running app. **Always confirm the user is authorized to test the target** before starting.
