API JWT Authenticator
Secure FastAPI APIs with JWT Authentication
FastAPI APIs need consistent token validation and authorization controls to protect private resources. This skill provides a practical framework for JWT handling, access checks, and safe authentication responses.
Install with my Agent
Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.
Review the Skillstore skill "API JWT Authenticator" from https://skillstore.io/skills/abdul-haseeb360-api-jwt-authenticator.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/abdul-haseeb360-api-jwt-authenticator/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it
Using "API JWT Authenticator". What must I validate in a JWT?
Expected outcome:
- Verify the token signature before trusting claims.
- Reject expired tokens and validate issuer and audience when used.
- Require a stable subject claim for the authenticated user.
Using "API JWT Authenticator". How should a protected endpoint handle an invalid token?
Expected outcome:
- Return HTTP 401 Unauthorized.
- Use a generic credential error message.
- Do not reveal token contents, signing details, or internal authorization logic.
Using "API JWT Authenticator". How do I limit users to their own resources?
Expected outcome:
Compare the authenticated user identity from the token with the resource owner before serving or changing the resource.
Security Audit
SafeAll nine static detections are false positives. Markdown inline-code delimiters around JWT terms were misidentified as shell backticks, and the remaining detections describe defensive authentication behavior rather than reconnaissance. No prompt injection, exfiltration intent, or executable commands were found in SKILL.md.

Add resource authorization
Define checks that prevent users from accessing another user's records.
Review JWT controls
Use the checklist to assess claims validation, error handling, and authentication tests.
Try These Prompts
Help me plan JWT authentication for a FastAPI endpoint that returns a user's profile.
List the JWT checks my FastAPI API should perform before accepting an access token.
Design authorization rules for a FastAPI endpoint so users can only read their own orders.

Best Practices
- Use HTTPS and keep signing keys in a secure secret-management system.
- Validate signatures and required claims before using token data.
- Log authentication events without recording raw tokens or sensitive claims.
Avoid
- Do not accept unsigned tokens or skip signature verification.
- Do not use token roles without validating the token first.
- Do not expose detailed validation failures in API error messages.
