Ask HN: Does anyone use UI dashboards for AST? Who prefers CLI?

Posted by michaelafam1 on Tuesday December 23, 2025 @08:15PM
from the ask-hn dept.

We're building a local-only 7 engine security analysis tool (https://www.agnech.com/docs) that finds logic exploits and vulnerabilities standard test stacks miss. Right now it lives entirely inside VS Code.We're trying to figure out the standalone experience and getting very split feedback:Most just want a CLI with structured output (JSON/YAML).Others prefer a UI dashboard for visualizing...

Lol ouch "lightly engineered LLM wrapper". We'll take that into account the next website overhaul. Thanks for the feedback

We don't auto generate issues exploits but rather find the already existing exploits and break them further to test the full depth of the vuln. We use some aspects of graph DB but its not quite the same thing. This differs from Mend and CodeQL because they focus on deep semantic analysis or SCA, We use parallel detection systems for hybrid, holistic analysis by combining advanced static testing, execution modeling, and ML on test data to improve bug breadth, path feasibility, and alert prioritization aka. prove deep rooted issues other tools are not trained to find.

And yes it does integrate in line with the code and trace exec flow. Would you wanna try it out and see what it can help you find? It runs locally so nothing leaves your system

Looking at a possible rebrand in the near future haha.
