Rewrite 548 skill descriptions to the activation rubric

Each rewritten description now states both what the skill does (concrete
capability, named tools/artifacts) and an explicit when-to-use trigger,
improving agent discovery/activation. Grounded in each skill's own body;
changes confined to the `description` field only (bodies and all other
frontmatter untouched). Produced by a gated audit->rewrite->recheck loop
(548 -> 0 flagged) with a sampled anti-invention check (0 ungrounded).

Schema: 817/817 pass. Framework-ID gate: 0 defects.

description: 'Tests API rate limiting implementations for bypass vulnerabilities by
manipulating request headers, IP addresses, HTTP methods, API versions, and encoding
schemes to circumvent request throttling controls. The tester identifies rate limit
headers, determines enforcement mechanisms, and attempts bypasses including X-Forwarded-For
spoofing, parameter pollution, case variation, and endpoint path manipulation. Maps
to OWASP API4:2023 Unrestricted Resource Consumption. Activates for requests involving
rate limit bypass, API throttling evasion, brute force protection testing, or API
abuse prevention assessment.
description: 'Tests API rate limiting for bypass vulnerabilities using Python (requests/aiohttp)
and Burp Suite Turbo Intruder to manipulate headers (e.g. X-Forwarded-For spoofing),
IPs, HTTP methods, API versions, and encodings, mapping findings to OWASP API4:2023
Unrestricted Resource Consumption. Use when assessing, under written authorization,
whether rate limits can be bypassed to enable brute force or resource-exhaustion
attacks.
