SAFE explains static-analysis findings by grounding an AI-generated account in flagged code and the analyzer rule, while leaving detection to the scanner. In a comparison with its predecessor, redesigned SAFE scored 85.0 versus 77.3 on usability, and correct fix proposals were 41% versus 19%. Triage and time results were inconclusive, and bundled design changes leave the agent's contribution uncertain.
