JWT Inspector Operations Workflow Guide

Scenario

Auth failures are difficult to debug when JWT claims are unreadable or validation context is missing. This use case shows how operations and support teams can run JWT Inspector in a repeatable workflow.

Workflow Steps

1. Collect raw input, define success criteria, and document the context before running the tool.
2. Paste a JWT token from request headers or logs.
3. Decode header and payload to inspect algorithm and claim values.
4. Check exp, iat, iss, and aud against expected authentication settings.
5. Attach output to tickets, docs, or PRs so the procedure can be reused by the team.

Expected Outcomes

• Stabilize incident response quality with repeatable handling steps.
• Reduce manual variance and increase consistency in recurring tasks.
• Improve cross-team handoffs with clearer input, output, and review standards.
