## Description

<a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/a6fc7f1b911cff7ba921de1e1003bf08c1daa126fd37a7109b1dccf5e68575f4/https%3A//aws.amazon.com/security-agent/" rel="nofollow">AWS Security Agent</a> (now part of AWS Continuum) is a frontier agent that proactively secures your applications throughout the development lifecycle across all your environments. It performs on-demand penetration testing customized to your application, discovering and reporting verified security risks. 

<strong>What it does</strong>
When you start a recording session in the active tab:
- The extension captures the tab's origin as the target URL.
- It reloads the tab and watches every HTTP request it makes.
- Every other unique origin the page contacts is added to a list of accessible URLs.
- A pastel purple/blue border around the page reminds you a session is active.
- On AWS Security Agent's "create" pages, focusing a Target URL, Accessible URLs, or Out-of-scope URLs field shows a panel with the recorded values. Select one to fill the field. Filled entries get a green check, excluded entries get a red x.

The popup shows the target URL, the running list of accessible URLs, and buttons to Start, Stop, Copy all, and Clear. All data lives in storage.local and never leaves your browser.
