## FAQ

### How does the codebase audit handle my private information?

The scanner only sends vendor and feature names to Stackcut, never sending your actual code, secrets, or .env files.

### Do I need an API key to use Stackcut?

No, the server is free and does not require an API key.

### How can I access a specific savings plan through my agent?

You can create a read-only code on stackcut.io and ask your agent to walk you through it using that code.
