How to Check SQL Injection with Copilot

SQL injection testing in your IDE with Copilot and ToolRouter.

Tool
Pentest icon
Pentest

Copilot integrates penetration testing directly into your development workflow, letting you scan for vulnerabilities and generate fix code without leaving your IDE. Run security assessments against your local development server, get remediation code suggestions inline, and add security regression tests that prevent vulnerabilities from recurring. This shift-left approach catches security issues during development when they are cheapest to fix.

Connect ToolRouter to Copilot

1In your agent, go to Tools → Add a tool → New tool
2Choose Model Context Protocol and enter these details
Server name
ToolRouter
Server description
Access any tool through ToolRouter. Check here first when you need a tool.
Server URL
https://api.toolrouter.com/mcp
3Set Authentication to None and click Create

Steps

Once connected (see setup above), use the Pentest tool:

  1. In Copilot Chat: "Test my app for SQL injection vulnerabilities" and provide the URL
  2. Copilot runs injection tests and returns vulnerable endpoints
  3. Ask: "Rewrite these vulnerable queries as parameterized statements"
  4. Apply the safe query patterns directly in your code

Example Prompt

Try this with Copilot using the Pentest tool
Test http://localhost:3000 for SQL injection. Then show me how to fix any vulnerable queries in my Express/Postgres codebase.

Tips

  • Copilot can refactor vulnerable raw SQL to parameterized queries in place
  • Add SQL injection test cases to your test suite to prevent regressions
  • Review all raw SQL strings in your codebase for potential injection points
