R10.7: No unauthenticated admin endpoints

Short answer: Route middleware protects management routes. An admin route without a guard is open to the whole internet.

Group: API and network robustness. Status: stable. Generated from the rule definitions; do not edit by hand.

Playground: https://brevio.pro/tools/agent-guard-playground?rule=R10.7

What it catches

No unauthenticated admin endpoints: route middleware protects management routes.

Why

An admin route without a guard is open to the whole internet.

A bad example

app.post('/admin/reset', reset);

A good example

app.post('/admin/reset', requireAdmin, reset);

How it is checked

Nothing yet. No scanner and no slice card checks it: it is a standing rule for authors and reviewers.

How to silence it

A person can silence one finding with brevio-core: ignore R10.7 -- reason on the line or the line above. Without the reason it does not count. An agent cannot silence it: the agent hook and the MCP tools never honour the comment, and a pull request that adds one is reported until a reviewer allows it. Fixing the code is still the better answer.

To change what the rule flags, edit its definition in dev_rules.py or code_rules/__init__.py. That is a code change and is reviewed like one.
