Kill 70% of your
SAST noise.
Without replacing Snyk.

47,000 alerts. 3 engineers. 6 weeks.

AppSec teams in 2026 spend 60-90% of their triage time on false positives. The average enterprise pays $200K-$2M/year for a SAST/SCA contract and another $400K+/year on engineers triaging its noise.

Log4j taught us the lesson: companies patched dependencies that weren't even reachable in their codebase, burning weeks and millions. CVSS scores are unreliable for prioritization — a 9.8 you can't reach beats a 6.5 you can. Yet most tools dump everything into a queue and walk away.

"We have 50,000 CVEs in our dependency tree. 99% are unreachable in our code path. We just stopped reading the report."

Five steps. Two hundred hours. One spreadsheet.

1. Run Snyk weekly. Export the SARIF JSON. 47,000 findings.
2. Pivot in Excel. Filter by severity. 4,000 highs.
3. Manual reachability hunt. For each high, grep + open 5-10 files to confirm whether external input actually reaches the vulnerable function.
4. Spreadsheet column "Confirmed exploitable". Per finding: 20-40 minutes. Per scan: ~200 hours.
5. Result: 92% of the highs turn out unreachable. The team patched 4× more than they had to. The auditor isn't satisfied with "we eyeballed it" anyway.

Every weekly scan, again. Quarterly compliance audit, multiplied. The math: 200h/month × $200/h engineer time = $30K/month of human triage on top of the SAST license.

Two MCP calls. Thirty minutes. Confidence 1.0.

$ argosbrain ingest .
✓ ingested 38,771 symbols, 232,756 call-graph edges  (4.2s)

$ mcp__argos__ingest_findings(report=./snyk-export.sarif)
✓ 47,389 findings stamped onto matching code chunks

$ mcp__argos__check_reachability(kind="sqli", max_depth=8)

Returns:

Reachability scan for sink kind: sqli
Sinks scanned: 47389  |  Source markers in scope: 142  |  Max depth: 8
Reachable sinks: 89  |  Structurally unreachable: 47300

REACHABLE — review these first (ordered by shortest hop count):
  1. payments/handler.rs:142   — 3 hops from POST /charge
  2. user/profile.rs:67        — 5 hops from GET /me/edit
  3. admin/export.py:201       — 4 hops from POST /admin/csv-export
  ...

UNREACHABLE — structural evidence of non-reachability:
  47,300 sinks scanned. No call-graph path from any source within max_depth=8.
  These findings can be filed as "not exploitable in this build" with
  auditor-friendly proof attached (per-finding JSON below).

Triage 89 findings instead of 47,389. Done in 30 minutes. Every "unreachable" verdict carries a structural proof your auditor will accept.

The math is hard to ignore.

Real numbers measured against the Kubernetes 1.32.0 corpus (17,171 files, 38,771 symbols, 232,756 edges). See the Kubernetes audit case study for the full reproducible run.

Auditor-grade evidence on a CI-friendly clock.

• Reachability proofs at confidence 1.0 — for every flagged CVE, a deterministic yes/no on whether it's reachable from external input.
• Sub-millisecond P99 latency — runs as a layer on every CI build with no slowdown.
• $0 per query — no LLM in the retrieval path, predictable OPEX.
• Local-first deployment — no source code leaves your network; air-gap friendly.
• Drop-in MCP integration — works with any agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Cline) and any SAST tool that exports findings (SARIF 2.1.0 supported out of the box).
• Auditor-ready evidence — deterministic logs that satisfy SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, FedRAMP reachability requirements (see /compliance).
• Pairs with /argos-oss-backdoor (v0.12.5) — XZ-style supply-chain attacks detected before they reach your CI. See /oss-maintainers.
