This listing is an agent platform with security integrations, not a dedicated application-security product. It is in the Code security category because the vendor’s own docs show a concrete scanner or vulnerability-fix workflow (for example Snyk, Sentry or Dependabot). Compare dedicated AppSec listings on the AI code security agents table.
What it does
Copilot coding agent is GitHub’s autonomous coding agent, not a SAST product. GitHub docs and changelog state that Dependabot alerts can be assigned to AI agents including Copilot: the agent analyses the advisory and repository usage and opens a draft pull request, including cases that need code changes beyond a version bump. Assignment requires GitHub Code Security and a Copilot plan with coding-agent access. GitHub warns that agent output must be reviewed. This listing is distinct from Copilot Autofix (suggested fixes for CodeQL code-scanning alerts).
Frameworks (vendor-stated)
No framework tags yet.
Pricing (as published)
Requires a Copilot plan that includes coding agent (Copilot Pro is $10/month with included AI credits on github.com/features/copilot/plans) plus GitHub Code Security for assigning Dependabot alerts ($30 per active committer/month on github.com/security/plans; public repos differ). Coding-agent sessions consume GitHub AI credits.
