Risk Scoring

Every event captured by the Quint daemon carries a risk score from 0 to 100. This score is a corroborating behavioral signal from the shadow-mode layer, not the enforcement mechanism — enforcement is deterministic scope evaluation, where only scope:out_of_scope_sensitive is block-capable. The score is computed from action type, tool invoked, target sensitivity, and behavioral context, and is useful for triage and filtering. Risk scores are included as fields on events and can be filtered via the Events API:

Score Bands

Session Risk Summary

Each session includes a risk summary when retrieved via GET /v1/sessions/{id}, showing total events, maximum risk score, and average risk across all events in the session.
