POST/api/v1/security/adaptive

Run adaptive security analysis

Adaptive multi-turn red-team session — an attacker agent reads target responses and adapts in real time. Target is called with the org's BYOK key for target_provider. Runs synchronously and returns the result inline.

Authentication

Send Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY on every request. Generate API keys at /dashboard/settings/api-keys.
