Flexible GraphQL queries make field authorization and query-cost controls particularly important.
Evaluation approach
Review resolver permissions and set suitable depth, complexity and resource limits.
Application example
Public profile names and private contact details may require different access conditions.
Limits and considerations
Schema visibility is not an access control. An app protection SDK cannot repair a resolver defect.
Is a depth limit enough?
A shallow query can still consume expensive resources. Measure actual data-access cost and keep authorization findings separate from resource-limit findings.
Checks and decisions
- Separate sensitive fields
- Limit cost
- Test unauthorized queries
