How scored??
We start at 5.0 (default corporate confidence), add points for buzzword gymnastics and benchmark flexing, subtract points if you brought actual shipping receipts, then clamp it between 0 and 10 so the delusion stays numerically manageable.

WHAT THEY MEANT

We've invented another magical software sprite that we're calling an 'agent' because adding that word makes everything sound more advanced. By labeling this a 'research preview', we're signaling that it's both cutting-edge and conveniently non-committal. Basically, we've got some code that might do security-ish things, and we're very excited for you to be impressed.

REALITY CHECK

This is likely a preliminary tool with specific but limited security scanning capabilities. Most 'security agents' are pattern-matching scripts with incremental improvements over existing tools. The 'research preview' status suggests this is still experimental and not a production-ready solution.
