Ask your coding agent to run the CLI commands in these guides. Approve the browser sign-in when it asks.

Zero Cool audits your code for security vulnerabilities. By default, it proves each finding with a proof-of-concept test. You start audits, read findings and manage your team in the web app or with the CLI, including through a coding agent.

Install the CLI

The CLI needs Python 3.9 or later. Install it and sign in:

curl -fsSL https://app.zerocool.ai/cli/install.sh | sh
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
zerocool auth login
zerocool auth status

The installer puts zerocool in ~/.local/bin and adds that directory to your shell's startup files. The export line updates your current shell. The login command creates and saves a new API key. Browser approval activates it. You do not need to create or copy a key first. It prints a link. Open it where you are signed in. Choose the workspace scope and role, then select Approve. Choose the member role to start audits, or the viewer role for read-only access and quotes.

To save an existing key, use zerocool auth login --with-key-stdin. API keys explains safe storage and rotation. Run zerocool update to install the latest release.

List your workspaces

zerocool workspaces

This command lists accessible workspaces and GitHub connections. It creates no audit and spends no credits. If no workspace appears, check your membership and the key's scope.

Use your coding agent

A coding agent can use the CLI to configure audits, check prices and read findings. After installing and signing in to the CLI, ask your agent:

Use Zero Cool to quote a full audit of this repository. Show me the scope and the price, and wait for my approval before you launch it.

Each common flow starts with a prompt that you can give your agent. Your agent reads these docs with zerocool docs.

Use the web app

  1. Sign in, or select Create account. You can also use Sign in with GitHub or Sign in with Google.
  2. Open your workspace or create a new workspace.
  3. Select New audit, choose your code, and check the price on the Review step.

The web app uses your signed-in session. It does not need an API key.
