Use this tool when you need to detect ReDoS (Regular expression Denial of Service) vulnerabilities and prevent catastrophic backtracking in your regex patterns. It analyzes the abstract syntax tree (AST) of regex patterns without executing them, providing a safe and reliable way to identify potential security risks. Ideal for use in git-based development workflows to ensure regex pattern safety and prevent performance issues.
