What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Define and verify authorization, targets, rules of engagement, data handling, safety controls, and stop conditions before active security testing. Use for penetration tests, vulnerability scans, exploit validation, web/API tests, network probing, red-team-like exercises, bug bounty work, or agent-driven testing where ownership and allowed techniques must be explicit.

Scope Authorized Security Test
Overview
Turn permission into an executable scope record before sending active traffic or running a proof of concept. Authorization must identify the owner and boundaries; access to a target or a public address is not permission.
Read references/active-test-scope.md and complete every applicable field.
Workflow
- Identify authority.
- Record target owner, authorizing person/record, tester, contacts, dates, jurisdiction or program policy, and evidence of permission.
- Resolve targets precisely.
- List domains, hosts, addresses/ranges, applications, APIs, repositories, accounts, environments, and third-party dependencies.
- List exclusions explicitly and define how dynamic/cloud/CDN targets are resolved.
- Define allowed techniques.
- Separate passive review, discovery, authenticated testing, automated scanning, fuzzing, exploit validation, social/physical testing, persistence, credential access, data access, and denial-of-service.
- Default unlisted techniques to disallowed.
- Set operational controls.
- Define source addresses, accounts, rate/concurrency, time windows, test data, logging, notification, emergency stop, cleanup, and restoration.
- Define data handling.
- Minimize accessed data; specify retention, encryption, screenshots/logs, secrets, evidence transfer, disclosure, and deletion.
- Establish stop conditions.
- Stop on target drift, third-party impact, instability, sensitive data beyond minimum proof, unexpected privileges, scope ambiguity, or an unapproved technique.
- Approve the test plan.
- Show exact targets and effects before tools run; update the scope record before expanding work.
Output
Return authority, included/excluded targets, allowed/disallowed techniques, operational controls, data handling, stop/escalation contacts, and approval state.
