- Praise: Some commenters are excited about the potential for real-time vulnerability scanning, envisioning how this tool could streamline security processes that used to take ages.
- Praise: The CLI integration seems to excite users who are eager to see how it can fit into their existing workflows, suggesting a promising developer experience.
- Concern: The tool's performance is under fire; users are frustrated by rate limits and incomplete scans that waste time and money — half a week's usage for a failed run is not acceptable.
