Short answer

How can I use AI to triage my security vulnerabilities?

Your AI pulls critical flaws directly from Contrast Security and maps out the exact execution paths that make them dangerous. You get a clear view of what actually matters so you can stop chasing noise. This breakdown shows you how to move from a raw list to a fix.

The outcomes.

Where every issue lands.

The AI organizes your security data into these specific outcomes.

PRIORITY

Filtered critical lists

The AI uses your security data to isolate only the most dangerous flaws. You skip the low-risk noise and focus on what's actually broken.

CONTEXT

Deep flaw details

Your agent pulls specific technical details for any flagged vulnerability. You get the exact context needed to understand the risk level.

PATHWAY

Execution traces

The AI identifies the specific code paths that allow an exploit to happen. This shows you exactly how an attacker would reach the flaw.

HUMAN

Manual remediation

The AI identifies the problem, but you decide how to patch the code. You take the analyzed traces and apply the fix in your IDE.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of scanning and mapping so you can focus on the fix.

  1. Isolate high-risk flaws

    The AI scans your portfolio to find only the most urgent security issues.

    list_critical_vulnerabilities

  2. Gather technical specifics

    Once a flaw is identified, the AI pulls the specific data points required to understand the vulnerability.

    get_vulnerability_details

  3. Map the attack path

    The AI looks at the traces to see how the vulnerability is actually triggered in your code.

    list_vulnerability_traces

  4. Verify the risk

    The AI cross-references the details and traces to confirm if a flaw is truly exploitable.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI fix the vulnerabilities for me?

    No. The AI identifies the flaws and provides the traces, but you must manually write and deploy the code fixes.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete vulnerabilities from Contrast Security?

    No. The AI only reads data to help you analyze it. It cannot modify or delete any records in your Contrast Security account.

  • 03

    Does the AI see all my application data?

    The AI only sees the data it needs to answer your specific questions through the provided tools.

  • 04

    How does the AI know which vulnerabilities are critical?

    It uses the list_critical_vulnerabilities tool to pull only the items flagged as critical in your Contrast Security instance.

  • 05

    Can I use this with any AI client?

    Yes, as long as your client is MCP-compatible, like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.
