You can audit code changes for security by running an automated agent on your pull requests to scan for vulnerabilities, secrets, and insecure dependencies. It specifically targets security-sensitive areas like API routes, sessions, and database queries to identify anti-patterns.

Secret detection and dependency auditing integrate into your CI/CD workflow by running automated security checks across commits and pull requests. This scans for exposed secrets and vulnerable dependencies to enable early remediation before merging code changes.

You should run a security review on pull requests when changes touch security-sensitive areas such as API routes, sessions, or database queries. It should not run for purely UI styling or documentation updates that do not impact security logic.

The best way to identify insecure code anti-patterns in API routes is to use a policy-driven security agent that audits code changes. It detects API misuse and security vulnerabilities in sensitive areas before code is merged into the main branch.

A limitation of automated security checks is that they target security-sensitive areas like API routes and database queries, and should not run for purely UI styling or documentation updates. They support a policy-driven workflow that still requires manual review before merge.
