Workflow for penetration testing results

Read evidence

The agent uses read_file to access your text files and grep to find specific evidence strings within the working folder, so you can review the context. Cards show actions. It then uses ocr to extract text from any screenshots you have saved for later review. You can then ask it to draft the first finding based on this evidence. The agent writes the text to a new file using write_file. This supports your penetration testing results and penetration report needs. You can explain complex findings to non technical clients by showing the real output in the chat. The workflow keeps wording and severity consistent across findings for every single item.

Write summary

The agent drafts the executive summary for your penetration report by using write_file to create a new document that summarizes key findings in plain language for non-technical readers and avoids jargon. You review. The agent uses edit_file to adjust the text if needed. The diff shows exactly what changed in the text during editing. You can then export the final version locally as a text or Markdown file you can open. This approach supports penetration testing results for your team and ensures clear communication. Best pentest reporting tools help you track changes with care. The agent keeps a history of all changes for future reference.
