Deep Scan
Inkog Deep is an advanced orchestrator-based security analysis that goes beyond the standard Core scan. It uses an AI orchestrator to perform deeper analysis with enriched context, producing an agent profile, compliance mapping, and a premium HTML report.
Deep scans require the Inkog Deep role on your account. You’ll receive a 403 error without it.
Usage
# Deep scan your agent code
inkog -deep .
# Deep scan with HTML report
inkog -deep -output html . > deep-report.html
# Deep scan with JSON output
inkog -deep -output json . > deep-results.json
# Deep scan with SARIF output
inkog -deep -output sarif . > deep-results.sarifCore vs Deep
| Feature | Core | Deep |
|---|---|---|
| Static analysis | Yes | Yes |
| Agent Profile (architecture, framework, trust boundaries) | — | Yes |
| Strengths (passing security checks) | — | Yes |
| Compliance Coverage (EU AI Act, NIST, OWASP mapping) | — | Yes |
| Methodology (how the analysis was performed) | — | Yes |
| Extended finding fields (proof, false positive rationale) | — | Yes |
| Premium HTML report | — | Yes |
Output Format Differences
Deep scans produce richer output across all formats:
- Text: Header shows “Inkog Deep” instead of “Inkog Core”, plus a Strengths section listing passing security checks
- HTML: Completely different premium report with Agent Profile, Severity Overview, Clean Detections, Compliance Summary, and Methodology sections
- JSON: Includes a
deep_reportobject withagent_profile,clean_detections,compliance_summary,methodology, andseverity_summary - SARIF: Standard SARIF structure with findings from the deep analysis
How It Works
- The CLI uploads redacted code to
POST /v1/scan/deep - The server returns a
scanID - The CLI polls
GET /v1/scan/deep/{scanID}every 5 seconds - The AI orchestrator analyzes the code with enriched context
- Results are returned when analysis completes (up to 30 minute timeout)
Deep scans typically take around 10 minutes due to the AI orchestrator performing multi-pass analysis. This is significantly longer than Core scans.
Combining with Other Options
All standard flags work with -deep:
# Deep scan with policy filtering
inkog -deep -policy low-noise .
# Deep scan with severity threshold
inkog -deep -severity high .
# Deep scan with verbose output
inkog -deep -verbose .Last updated on
