What it does?

JWT Inspector is designed to help you understand exactly what a token is asserting, whether it’s safe, and what you should change before it becomes a security incident.

Decode and explain the token

  • Parses header and payload into a readable view with clear labeling.
  • Shows algorithm info and highlights risky or unexpected configurations.
  • Makes claim meaning obvious (issuer, audience, scopes/roles, subject).

Validate security-critical claims

  • Checks expiry (`exp`), not-before (`nbf`), and issued-at (`iat`) expectations.
  • Flags missing or overly-long expirations (tokens that live too long).
  • Highlights common auth mistakes like missing `aud`/`iss` validation patterns.

Spot common JWT risk patterns

  • Warns when claim sets look permissive or inconsistent (e.g., broad roles/scopes).
  • Surfaces suspicious claim combinations that may indicate mis-issuance.
  • Guides you on safe defaults (short TTLs, strict issuer/audience validation).

Actionable remediation guidance

  • Provides specific next steps to fix what was detected (not generic advice).
  • Gives safer configuration recommendations for your auth/JWT library setup.
  • Helps you verify changes by rechecking an updated token configuration.
