Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Precogs AI.

General​

What is Precogs AI?​

Precogs is an AI-native security platform that scans your code, binaries, and data for vulnerabilities. Unlike traditional scanners, we use context-aware AI to reduce false positives by up to 80%.

What languages do you support?​

Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, Java, C, C++, Rust, Ruby, PHP, and more. See our Glossary for details.

Is Precogs free?​

We offer a free tier for open-source projects and small teams. Contact us for enterprise pricing.

Scanning​

How long does a scan take?​

Most scans complete in under 2 minutes. Large monorepos may take longer.

What's the difference between SAST and SCA?​

  • SAST scans your source code for vulnerabilities (SQL injection, XSS, etc.)
  • SCA scans your dependencies for known CVEs

See Scan Types for full details.

Do you scan binaries?​

Yes! Precogs can analyze compiled binaries, firmware, and executables even without source code.

Privacy & Security​

Do you store my code?​

No. Code is processed in memory and never stored. We only retain metadata (file paths, findings) needed to display results.

Are you SOC 2 compliant?​

Yes, we are SOC 2 Type II certified.

Can I self-host Precogs?​

Enterprise customers can deploy Precogs on-premise or in their own cloud. Contact sales for details.

Authentication & API​

How do I authenticate with the CLI or SDK?​

Generate an API Key from your dashboard (Settings > API Access) and use it with precogs auth login --api-key pk_live_... or set it as an environment variable PRECOGS_API_KEY.

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?​

MCP is an open standard that allows AI assistants like Claude Desktop or Cursor to use Precogs security tools directly. You can find the setup guide here.
