When NOT to use hexstrike-ai
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If you're looking specifically for a solution that currently supports the latest version (v0.14.0) of 5ire as it is not supported by HexStrike AI MCP Agents.
- In scenarios requiring more generalized automation outside of cybersecurity, as HexStrike AI focuses explicitly on integrating LLMs with offensive security capabilities.
