Thoropass Management Skill
Manage and analyze Thoropass compliance controls, evidence, audits, and readiness posture.
API Conventions
Authentication
All API calls use Authorization: Bearer $THOROPASS_API_TOKEN -- injected automatically. Never hardcode tokens.
Base URL
https://api.thoropass.com/v1
Core Helper Function
#!/bin/bash
thoropass_api() {
local method="$1"
local endpoint="$2"
local data="${3:-}"
if [ -n "$data" ]; then
curl -s -X "$method" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $THOROPASS_API_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
"https://api.thoropass.com/v1${endpoint}" \
-d "$data"
else
curl -s -X "$method" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $THOROPASS_API_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
"https://api.thoropass.com/v1${endpoint}"
fi
}
Output Rules
- TOKEN EFFICIENCY: Extract only needed fields with
jq - Target <=50 lines per script output
- Never dump full API responses

Output Format
Present results as a structured report:
Managing Thoropass 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
- Audit-centric workflow: Thoropass combines compliance automation with audit management
- Evidence review: Evidence goes through auditor review -- check for rejected items
- Pagination: Use
limitandoffset-- checkmeta.total - Rate limits: Check response headers for rate limiting
- Audit period scoping: Evidence and controls may be scoped to specific audit periods
- Auditor requests: During audits, auditors create requests that need attention
