External review of agent tool permissions, prompt injection risks, and deployment posture.
How to choose
- Use Socket when supply-chain risk is your primary concern.
- Use Snyk for breadth across containers, dependencies, and IaC.
- Use Semgrep for policy-as-code and language-specific rules.
- Use Robusta for agent-specific threat modeling.
Common gotchas
- Security agents can suggest breaking changes; run fixes through CI.
- Define which findings are blocking vs. advisory.
- Combine static analysis with runtime protection for defense in depth.
