What Is an AI Code Security Review Agent?
An AI code security review agent is an AI workflow that can inspect code, explain potential vulnerabilities, suggest fixes, and preserve evidence for human review. The Alberta Claude Code case makes the term easier to understand because it connects code analysis with public-sector security modernization. For ordinary users, the important distinction is between assistance and authority. The agent may help summarize risk, draft tests, or propose patches, but it should not become the final security decision-maker. Users still need repository boundaries, permission controls, logs, reviewers, and rollback paths before using such a tool on real code. This keeps useful automation separate from unreviewed authority in practice.
