See what an agent can do with Gecko Security before you ever sign up. Pick a story: recorded sessions replay real probe-harness transcripts; commands tagged live-capable can re-run against the real endpoint from our edge, right now (▶ run live — the exact same request, live and recorded lines always labeled); sandboxed self-drive sessions are designed and gated (docs/TRY-IT.md).

Opportunities — the stories that would move this product's scores, from its own judged verdictsOpportunitiestop 8 of 37 stories with headroom

What would move Gecko Security’s scores — derived from its own judged verdicts, biggest headroom first. Each line quotes what the judge found missing; shipping it (or evidencing it publicly) is the fix.

  1. Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productPlug MCP servers into this product so it can use their tools

    nonemoves agent-readyimpact 45

    All evidence describes Gecko exposing its own data via an MCP server so external AI tools/agents can call into Gecko (docs-9, probe-4) — the reverse relationship.

  2. Container scanning — stories about container scanning in this arenaScan container images for OS-package and application-layer vulnerabilities before deploying them

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    Gecko's documented capability is AI-driven source-code (SAST) analysis across languages like TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, etc., producing call-chain/PoC findings and PR fixes — no evidence describes scanning container images for OS-package (e.g., CVE feeds on apt/rpm packages) or layered image vulnerabilities.

  3. Dependency sca — stories about dependency sca in this arenaScan my dependency manifests and lockfiles for packages with known vulnerabilities

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    Gecko's documented capability is AI-driven source-code (SAST) analysis — call-chain tracing, endpoint mapping, PR-level code review — with no mention of scanning package manifests, lockfiles, or third-party dependency CVEs.

  4. Secret detection — stories about secret detection in this arenaScan a repository and its full git history for hardcoded secrets and credentials

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    Missing: any mention of secret/credential detection, hardcoded key scanning, or scanning git commit history for leaked secrets.

  5. Ci precommit — stories about ci precommit in this arenaRun the scanner as a pre-commit hook so secrets and issues never enter my git history

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    Gecko's documented workflow is GitHub App/PR-based scanning with pass/fail PR checks, not a local pre-commit git hook that blocks commits before they enter history — no evidence of a pre-commit hook, CLI hook script, or local git-hook integration exists in the evidence pack.

  6. Privacy posture — data-handling and privacy storiesPrevent my data from being used to train AI models

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    No evidence in the pack addresses data-training opt-out, AI training data policies, or any privacy controls governing whether user code/data is used to train AI models; Gecko's docs focus on scanning, deployment, and integrations, not this privacy axis.

  7. Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productUse an official CLI

    nonemoves agent-readyimpact 30

    No evidence of an official CLI; Gecko offers a GitHub App, REST API, webhooks, and an MCP server for AI tools, but nothing in the docs, changelog, or probes mentions a CLI tool for AI-native workflows.

  8. Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productExplore an interactive API reference with runnable examples

    nonemoves API qualityimpact 30

    While Gecko exposes an OpenAPI spec (gecko-security-probe-3) and documents API capabilities (gecko-security-docs-10), there is no evidence of an interactive API reference UI with runnable/try-it examples for developers or AI agents to explore.
