Caido is a web security auditing toolkit for scaling manual testing through AI and teamwork. Its proxy intercepts and monitors HTTP and WebSocket traffic, with history for intercepted traffic and WebSocket messages. HTTPQL filtering lets users search requests and responses. Node-based workflows support ad-hoc automation, and automated attacks can use custom payloads and placeholders. Users can connect existing LLM providers, including Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and providers available through OpenRouter. AI agents can access Caido programmatically through its Client SDK. Community plugins and custom extensions are supported; the Basic plan allows three plugins. Basic is free forever and includes two projects, seven workflows, five filter presets, and one pipeline session at a time. The pricing note lists paid access from $20/user/mo, while the opened pricing page did not display prices for Individual, Team, or Enterprise. Caido lists Linux, macOS, Windows, web, API, and self-hosted platforms, and presents the product for pentesters, security engineers, and bug bounty hunters.
