Robust rate limit handling and scan resumption for AI agent integrations.

Deepsec positions itself as a security harness powered by coding agents. Effective integration requires resilient handling of external API constraints like rate limits.

This issue exposes a critical operational vulnerability in Deepsec's integration with external AI agents like Claude Code: inadequate rate limit management. Hitting API rate limits mid-scan, without a mechanism to pause and resume, leads to incomplete analyses and wasted compute resources. This d...

Authentication and credential management for AI agent integrations, preventing unintended API key usage.

Deepsec integrates with various coding agents (e.g., Codex). Its positioning requires seamless and secure credential management to ensure users consume their intended quotas.

This issue reveals a critical credential management flaw in Deepsec's integration with AI agents. Deepsec's default behavior of prioritizing an `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable over a specified `--agent codex` flag leads to unintended quota consumption and billing issues for users. This unde...
