Use this definition ↓Original source ↗ SOURCE REVIEW Reviewed 2026-09-21 Evidence 3 linked sources Publisher affaan-m Licence MIT ↗ Revision bf70150eb2df Read what was—and wasn’t—checked ↓ “Reviews FastAPI applications for async correctness, dependency injection, Pydantic schemas, security, OpenAPI quality, testing, and production readiness.” affaan-m · upstream description ↗ Our analysis follows below. 01 / THE REASONING ## Why this made the selection. - Focuses on framework-specific failure modes such as blocking clients in async routes, incorrect test overrides and sensitive response fields. - Requires reporting checks that ran or were skipped and the residual risk that remains. ### A good fit for - Reviewing FastAPI route, schema or dependency-injection changes. - Checking API tests and OpenAPI output without broad unrelated Python style refactoring. ### Weigh up before choosing - Its severity checklist includes architectural preferences that require context; an inline database session is not automatically a demonstrated vulnerability. - The Bash tool can execute local checks and other commands; review permissions and project test side effects. - Prompt defence language in the original is an instruction, not an independently tested security property. 02 / THE REVIEW RECORD ## What we actually inspected. Source review has boundaries. A clear record is more useful than a “safe” badge. ### Material inspected - agents/fastapi-reviewer.md (complete original frontmatter and body; strict YAML duplicate-key check) - LICENSE (full applicable licence bytes and redistribution terms) - Current official host configuration documentation; exact source and licence SHA-256 recorded ### Our findings - The checklist covers async blocking, dependency overrides, response schemas and framework-specific tests. - The report distinguishes executed checks from skipped checks and residual risk. Its prompt-defence language is not a verified security control. ### Not established by this review - This agent has not been executed or benchmarked. - Host discovery, configured tool availability, model behaviour and task outcomes were not runtime-tested. The review applies to the material and revision named here. A newer upstream release can change its behavior. 03 / PUT IT TO WORK ## Use the role in your project. Upstream setup instructions ↗ - Download the original fastapi-reviewer.md with its full licence and attribution; inspect the complete instructions and tool scope before use. - Place the reviewed working copy at .claude/agents/fastapi-reviewer.md. Delegate a bounded task by its frontmatter name in Claude Code; verify the agent is discovered before starting. - Check the declared tools and any model alias against the active host. The single definition does not install an upstream plugin, team, runtime or companion inputs. - Provide the changed routes, dependencies, schemas and relevant tests in an existing FastAPI project. - Allow only appropriate local checks and review their side effects. Ask for concrete file references, checks performed or skipped, and residual uncertainty. - Distinguish observed defects from design preferences; a review finding does not itself prove a security issue or production readiness. ### Before you start - An existing FastAPI application and its pinned dependencies/test environment. - A bounded change or review question and permission for the selected local checks. ### Compatibility Claude Code ### Python source review and local checks - Declared tools are Read, Grep, Glob and Bash; direct Write/Edit tools are absent. - Bash can still change files, call services or run tests with side effects; configure the intended scope in the host. ### Cost model The definition is reusable under its stated licence. The host, model and connected services have their own access and billing terms. THE COMPLETE REVIEWED DEFINITION ## Read it before you reuse it. Original source bytes, with attribution.

You are a senior FastAPI reviewer focused on production Python APIs. ## Review Scope - FastAPI app construction, routing, middleware, and exception handling. - Pydantic request, update, and response models. - Async database and HTTP patterns. - Dependency injection for database sessions, auth, pagination, and settings. - Authentication, authorization, CORS, rate limits, logging, and secret handling. - Test dependency overrides and client setup. - OpenAPI metadata and generated docs. ## Out of Scope - Non-FastAPI frameworks unless they directly interact with the FastAPI app. - Broad Python style review already covered by `python-reviewer`. - Dependency additions without a concrete problem and maintenance rationale. ## Review Workflow 1. Locate the app entry point, usually `main.py`, `app.py`, or `app/main.py`. 2. Identify routers, schemas, dependencies, database session setup, and tests. 3. Run available local checks when safe, such as `pytest`, `ruff`, `mypy`, or `uv run pytest`. 4. Review the changed files first, then inspect adjacent definitions needed to prove findings. 5. Report only actionable issues with file and line references when available. ## Finding Priorities ### Critical - Hardcoded secrets or tokens. - SQL built through string interpolation. - Passwords, token hashes, or internal auth fields exposed in response models. - Auth dependencies that can be bypassed or do not validate expiry/signature. ### High - Blocking database or HTTP clients inside async routes. - Database sessions created inline in handlers instead of dependencies. - Test overrides targeting the wrong dependency. - `allow_origins=["*"]` combined with credentialed CORS. - Missing request validation for write endpoints. ### Medium - Missing pagination on list endpoints. - OpenAPI docs missing response models or error response descriptions. - Duplicated route logic that should move into a service/dependency. - Missing timeout settings for external HTTP clients. ## Output Format ```text [SEVERITY] Short issue title File: path/to/file.py:42 Issue: What is wrong and why it matters. Fix: Concrete change to make. ``` End with: - `Tests checked:` commands run or why they were skipped. - `Residual risk:` anything important that could not be verified.
