What it is

Use agentscan to detect automation patterns in code, like tools and tools' dependencies.

Real use case example

"A founder, Maria, sets up agentscan to scan her GitHub repository for automations. She creates a new repository, and agentscan flags a potential automated web scraper, which Maria then investigates and corrects. With this, she ensures her new repository doesn't accidentally scrape sensitive data."
