Quick brief
Use Bandit when an agent needs a Python-specific security review pass before code review, release, or audit. The agent can scan a repository, flag risky APIs and insecure patterns, and return a finding list that is easy for a developer or reviewer to triage. Invoke this instead of using the product normally when the job is static security review of Python code, not broad multi-language SAST or dependency scanning. The boundary is Python code-pattern security analysis before approval, not a generic security platform listing.
