Secureframe Management Skill
Manage and analyze Secureframe compliance controls, tests, personnel, and audit readiness.
API Conventions
Authentication
All API calls use Authorization: Bearer $SECUREFRAME_API_TOKEN -- injected automatically. Never hardcode tokens.
Base URL
https://api.secureframe.com/v1
Core Helper Function
#!/bin/bash
sf_api() {
local method="$1"
local endpoint="$2"
local data="${3:-}"
if [ -n "$data" ]; then
curl -s -X "$method" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SECUREFRAME_API_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
"https://api.secureframe.com/v1${endpoint}" \
-d "$data"
else
curl -s -X "$method" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SECUREFRAME_API_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
"https://api.secureframe.com/v1${endpoint}"
fi
}
Output Rules
- TOKEN EFFICIENCY: Extract only needed fields with
jq - Target <=50 lines per script output
- Never dump full API responses
Discovery Phase
#!/bin/bash
echo "=== Frameworks ==="
sf_api GET "/frameworks" \
| jq -r '.data[] | "\(.id)\t\(.name)\t\(.status)"' | column -t | head -10
echo ""

sf_api GET "/controls?per_page=1" \
| jq '"Total controls: \(.meta.total_count // "N/A")"' -r

echo "=== Integrations ==="
sf_api GET "/integrations" \
| jq -r '.data[] | "\(.name)\t\(.status)\t\(.lastSync[0:16] // "Never")"' | column -t | head -10
Analysis Phase
Control Status
#!/bin/bash
echo "=== Controls by Status ==="
CONTROLS=$(sf_api GET "/controls?per_page=200")
echo "$CONTROLS" | jq '{
total: (.data | length),
passing: ([.data[] | select(.status == "passing")] | length),

echo "$CONTROLS" | jq -r '[.data[].framework] | group_by(.) | map({framework: .[0], count: length}) | sort_by(.count) | reverse | .[] | "\(.count)\t\(.framework)"' | column -t
Test Results
#!/bin/bash

Personnel Management
#!/bin/bash

Vendor Risk
#!/bin/bash
echo "=== Vendor Overview ==="
sf_api GET "/vendors?per_page=100" \
| jq '{
total: (.data | length),
reviewed: ([.data[] | select(.reviewStatus == "reviewed")] | length),

| jq -r '.data[] | "\(.name[0:30])\t\(.riskLevel)\t\(.reviewStatus)\t\(.lastReview[0:10] // "Never")"' | column -t
Output Format
Present results as a structured report:
Managing Secureframe Report
═══════════════════════════
Resources discovered: [count]
Resource Status Key Metric Issues
──────────────────────────────────────────────
[name] [ok/warn] [value] [findings]
Summary: [total] resources | [ok] healthy | [warn] warnings | [crit] critical
Action Items: [list of prioritized findings]
Target ≤50 lines of output. Use tables for multi-resource comparisons.
Anti-Hallucination Rules
- NEVER assume resource names — always discover via CLI/API in Phase 1 before referencing in Phase 2.
- NEVER fabricate metric names or dimensions — verify against the service documentation or
--helpoutput. - NEVER mix CLI commands between service versions — confirm which version/API you are targeting.
- ALWAYS use the discovery → verify → analyze chain — every resource referenced must have been discovered first.
- ALWAYS handle empty results gracefully — an empty response is valid data, not an error to retry.
Counter-Rationalizations
| Shortcut | Counter | Why |
|---|---|---|
| "I'll skip discovery and check known resources" | Always run Phase 1 discovery first | Resource names change, new resources appear — assumed names cause errors |
| "The user only asked for a quick check" | Follow the full discovery → analysis flow | Quick checks miss critical issues; structured analysis catches silent failures |
| "Default configuration is probably fine" | Audit configuration explicitly | Defaults often leave logging, security, and optimization features disabled |
| "Metrics aren't needed for this" | Always check relevant metrics when available | API/CLI responses show current state; metrics reveal trends and intermittent issues |
| "I don't have access to that" | Try the command and report the actual error | Assumed permission failures prevent useful investigation; actual errors are informative |
Common Pitfalls
- Pagination: Use
per_pageandpageparameters -- checkmeta.total_count - Rate limits: Check response headers for rate limit status
- Framework scoping: Controls belong to specific frameworks -- filter by framework ID
- Test automation: Tests run on schedules tied to integrations -- check integration health first
- Evidence linking: Evidence is linked to controls -- query via control ID for specific evidence
