A: Currently Python only. Java/Go/TypeScript planned.

Q: API cost?

A: ~$0.003 per code review (12,500 tokens average).


Security Questions

Q: Is it safe?

  • Production servers
  • Systems with sensitive data
  • Corporate networks (without approval)

Q: Can I customize?

A: Yes! Edit automated_devops_agent/supporting_agents.py


Performance Questions

Q: Why inconsistent results?

A: AI is non-deterministic. Run multiple times for critical code.

  • This: Code review

Q: vs SonarQube?

A:

  • ✅ Pros: Free, customizable, AI-powered
  • ❌ Cons: Requires API, Python only (for now)

Q: Why not ChatGPT?

A: Specialized:
