# SKILL: API Authorization and BOLA — Object Access, Function Access, and Mass Assignment

> **AI LOAD INSTRUCTION**: Use this skill when an API exposes object IDs, nested resources, or role-sensitive functions and you need a focused authorization test path: BOLA, BFLA, method abuse, and hidden field control.

## 1. CORE TEST LOOP

1. Create Account A and Account B.
2. As Account A, capture create, read, update, and delete flows.
3. Replay with Account B's token.
4. Test sibling endpoints, nested endpoints, and alternate HTTP verbs.

## 2. TEST SURFACES
