SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the critical security and architectural challenges in designing, reviewing, and auditing multi-tenant API routes to prevent data breaches, ensure tenant isolation, and maintain system integrity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Path-Derived Tenant Context: Enforces explicit tenant identification in API paths for enhanced security and observability.
  • Dual-Validation Middleware: Implements a robust two-step verification process for API keys and requested tenant context.
  • Endpoint Classification: Clearly separates global and tenant-scoped endpoints to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Use Case: When designing a new set of APIs for a SaaS platform, use this Skill to ensure all tenant-specific data is accessed through secure, well-defined routes like /api/v1/organizations/{org_slug}/..., preventing BOLA vulnerabilities.

Quick Start

Review the provided API route design against the six dimensions of governance outlined in the documentation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent BOLA vulnerabilities in multi-tenant API routes?▼

Preventing BOLA in multi-tenant API routes requires enforcing canonical path-derived tenant context and dual-validation middleware. This approach separates global and tenant-scoped endpoints, ensuring organization-scoped API routes securely validate tenant context before data access.

What is the best way to design API gateway middleware for tenant isolation?▼

Designing API gateway middleware for tenant isolation requires a two-step verification process for API keys and requested tenant context. Dual-validation middleware enforces this by validating tenant resolution from explicit path identifiers before accessing tenant-specific data.

How do I classify endpoints to separate global and tenant-scoped APIs?▼

Endpoint classification separates global and tenant-scoped APIs by enforcing explicit tenant identification in API paths. This canonical pattern routes tenant-specific data securely through paths like `/api/v1/organizations/{org_slug}/...`, preventing unauthorized cross-tenant access.

Why does my multi-tenant API route structure need path-derived tenant context?▼

Multi-tenant API route structures need path-derived tenant context to provide enhanced security and observability. Extracting tenant identification directly from canonical API paths enables strict gateway middleware validation and prevents data isolation breaches.

Does multi-tenant API route governance require rate limiting for tenant isolation?▼

Multi-tenant API route governance includes rate limiting as a core dimension of tenant isolation. Alongside token validation and endpoint classification, rate limiting enforces canonical patterns for organization-scoped API routes to maintain system integrity.

When do I need to audit multi-tenant API routes for security risks?▼

Auditing multi-tenant API routes for security risks is needed when designing new APIs for a SaaS platform or reviewing existing data access patterns. Governance ensures all tenant-specific data is accessed through secure, well-defined routes to prevent data breaches.
