Security Review for your developer tool
Expert security review tailored to developer tools. We identify the specific issues developer tools face and fix them for production. From $19.
Developer Tool challenges we solve
Common developer tool issues that our security review service addresses.
Error messages and developer experience
Developers expect error messages that tell them exactly what went wrong, why, and how to fix it. AI-generated tools return generic 'Something went wrong' messages or raw stack traces. Good DX means every error is actionable and every edge case has a helpful response.
API design and consistency
Developer tools live or die by their API surface — whether REST endpoints, CLI arguments, or SDK methods. Naming must be consistent, behavior must be predictable, and breaking changes must be versioned. AI tools generate functional but inconsistent APIs that frustrate developers.
Documentation and examples
Developers won't use your tool if they can't figure it out quickly. You need API reference docs, getting-started guides, code examples in multiple languages, and a changelog. AI tools build the tool but not the documentation ecosystem around it.
Performance and latency
Developer tools are often in the critical path of other developers' workflows — slow API responses, laggy CLIs, or unresponsive dashboards directly waste their time. Every millisecond matters. AI-generated tools have unoptimized database queries and no caching.
What we check
Key areas we review for developer tool security review projects.
API design — consistent naming, predictable behavior, proper status codes
Error handling — actionable error messages for every failure mode
Authentication — API key generation, rotation, scoped permissions
Rate limiting — per-key limits, usage tracking, quota management
Performance — response times under 200ms for common operations
