# Useful files to upload when setting up a pentest

When setting up a new pentest, you will encounter the "Attack Resources"-step. In this step, it is possible to upload a file at the "Upload Data"-field.

Useful files to upload are:

* OpenAPI Specs (JSON / YAML): Agents will have more context to interact with and attack the API
* Documentation files (README.md / Specs): Agents will get a better understanding of the target and its threat model
* Previous Pentest Reports (PDF): Agents will get information of previously discovered issues and validate fixes, as well as search for potential different occurrences of the same bugs

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.aikido.dev/~/revisions/KY3QqEqZPV6ifxqjwoLa/pentests/useful-files-to-upload-when-setting-up-a-pentest.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
