Ask HN: Does anyone use UI dashboards for AST? Who prefers CLI?

[michaelafam1]

We're building a local-only 7 engine security analysis tool (https://www.agnech.com/docs) that finds logic exploits and vulnerabilities standard test stacks miss. Right now it lives entirely inside VS Code.

We're trying to figure out the standalone experience and getting very split feedback:

Most just want a CLI with structured output (JSON/YAML).

Others prefer a UI dashboard for visualizing attack paths, data flows, or sharing with non-devs.

So: when you run AST tools, do you actually prefer a dashboard? Or is good CLI output enough?

e're debating investing more into the CLI outputs or the UI functionality.

Curious about current workflows. Thanks!
