# Security Headers Analyzer

> Security Headers Analyzer is a paid API for AI agents from netintel-production-440c.up.railway.app, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

Fetches a URL and grades its HTTP security response headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, etc.) with an A–F overall score and detected anti-patterns.

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability netintel-production-440c-up-railway-app-490353f8
```

Example prompt: Can you audit the HTTP security headers for https://mycompany.com and tell me what grade it gets, which critical headers are missing, and any anti-patterns detected?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a structured, graded audit of a website's HTTP security response headers — especially when you need to check all 10 major security headers at once, detect anti-patterns, and receive an overall A–F grade. Prefer this over manual header inspection or generic HTTP probing tools when you want actionable security feedback for a web application or domain.

## Known failure modes

- Target URL unreachable or times out — returns error in errors array
- Invalid or malformed URL provided — schema validation failure
- Target returns non-HTTP response — parsing error
- Rate limiting or network errors from the target host
- Missing required 'target' query parameter — request rejected

## How this service works

Fetches a URL and evaluates 10 security-critical response headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, X-XSS-Protection, CORP, COEP, COOP), detects anti-patterns, and returns an overall security grade (A–F).

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the target URL, an overall letter grade (A–F), a numeric score, per-header pass/fail results for all 10 security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, X-XSS-Protection, CORP, COEP, COOP), arrays of warnings, errors, and score deductions, plus a timestamp and service metadata.
