// DOCUMENTATION: PROTOCOL_API_V1

DEVELOPER_API REFERENCE

Integrate automated system prompt auditing, jailbreak defense evaluation, and compliance checking directly into your CI/CD pipelines and application backend.

Authentication

All requests to the QuantizeLab API require a valid API key passed as a request header. API access is available to users on our Pro and Team tiers. You can generate, copy, or revoke keys inside your PROFILE_SETTINGS hub.

REQUIRED_HEADER:x-api-key: your_cryptographically_secure_key_here

Scan Endpoint

POSThttps://www.quantizelab.dev/api/v1/scan

Submits a raw system prompt or user query to our multi-agent red-team auditing pipeline. The scanner evaluates the payload across matched heuristic signatures, exfiltration vectors, and jailbreak escapes.

// REQUEST_BODY (JSON)

promptstringRequired. The raw text of the prompt or system instructions to scan (max 20,000 characters).

// RESPONSE_BODY (JSON)

scoreintegerVulnerability risk score from 0 (secure) to 100 (trivially exploitable).

findingsarray [object]List of detected vulnerabilities mapped to OWASP LLM Top 10 standards.

hardenedPromptstringProduction-ready system instructions rewritten with XML delimiters and exfiltration seals.

Error Reference

StatusError CodeMitigation Action

400BAD_REQUESTEnsure 'prompt' is present in the JSON body.

401UNAUTHORIZEDMissing or invalid 'x-api-key' request header.

403FORBIDDENAPI key belongs to a Free account. Upgrade to Pro/Team.

429RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDEDMonthly quota limit reached (500 scans/month for Pro).

Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Expose prompt security audits directly as native tools to your AI agents (Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf). Your agent can automatically scan the system prompts it creates and refactors before finalizing changes!

// CLAUDE_DESKTOP_CONFIG (%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quantize-security": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@quantizelab/mcp-server", "--api-key", "YOUR_API_KEY"]
    }
  }
}

// CURSOR_IDE_SETUP

1. Open Cursor Settings → Features → MCP.
2. Click "+ Add New MCP Server".
3. Set Name to quantize-security, Type to stdio.
4. Paste Command: npx -y @quantizelab/mcp-server --api-key YOUR_API_KEY

codebase Auditor CLI

Scan your entire directory for hardcoded prompts, configuration settings, or system role assignments. Ideal for continuous monitoring and automated gate-keeping in CI/CD pipelines.

INITIALIZE_CONFIG:npx @quantizelab/quantize-brain init

RUN_AUDIT:npx @quantizelab/quantize-brain audit// API KEY IS AUTOMATICALLY LOADED FROM LOCAL .ENV

*Pro-tip: Define QUANTIZE_API_KEY=your_key in a local .env file in your project root, and the CLI will automatically parse and load it, eliminating the need to pass flags!*
