Episode notes
Use AI To Augment, Not Replace
- Toni explains AI's best role is augmenting and adding context to deterministic data from cloud checks.
- Use AI to glue information and produce human-friendly outputs like remediation plans and dashboards.
Use The MCP As An Automation Companion
- Try Prowler's MCP to extend checks, create providers, and automate tasks like opening Jira tickets.
- Use the MCP as a practitioner companion to speed provider coverage and feature development.
Rule-Based Checks Beat AI For Accuracy
- Prowler relies on deterministic, rule-based checks that query cloud APIs directly to avoid inconsistency.
- Toni warns that using AI instead of checks risks adding inconsistency because provider APIs vary and lag.
