Audit outcomes

Your agent organizes the data it finds into these categories.

IDENTITY

Profile verification

The AI checks your current user identity. You'll see exactly which account you are currently acting as.

ACCESS

Organization mapping

The agent lists every organization you belong to. This helps you spot unauthorized or forgotten access.

SECURITY

Key inspection

Your agent pulls a list of active API keys. You can quickly identify old or unused credentials.

HUMAN

Manual cleanup

The AI identifies the data but cannot delete keys or change permissions. You must handle all security changes yourself.
