ceven

Codacy

Syncs code quality metrics and technical debt reports into your project management tools, alerts developers to quality regressions in real time, and automates the onboarding of new repositories.

Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Codacy integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Codacy calls, fills the parameters, and checks the result.
    • Structured, agent friendly tool schemas so each call runs reliably instead of by guesswork.
    • Rich coverage for reading, writing, and querying your Codacy data, across all 18 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke Codacy access.
    • Per user and per environment credentials instead of shared keys.

  3. Agent optimized design

    • Actions are tuned from real success and error rates so reliability climbs over time.
    • Full execution logs so you always know what ran in Codacy, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when Codacy is unclear instead of plowing ahead.

  4. Enterprise grade security

    • Fine grained access so you control which agents and people can reach Codacy.
    • Least privilege by default, read scopes first and only the writes a workflow needs.
    • A full audit trail of every Codacy action to support review and sign off.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven uses secure API tokens provided by Codacy. When you first connect, you provide a token that allows the agent to act on your behalf. We store these tokens using AES 256 encryption at rest. The agent only uses the token to make authenticated requests to the Codacy API endpoints. You can rotate these tokens at any time by deleting the old one in your Codacy settings and updating the secret in the Ceven vault. We never log the raw token in our application logs and the model never sees the token value during a prompt execution.
Ceven cannot rewrite your source code directly inside Codacy because Codacy is a read only analysis tool. However, Ceven can bridge the gap. The agent pulls the specific issue, file path, and line number from Codacy and then uses a separate integration with GitHub or GitLab to open a pull request with a suggested fix. This creates a human in the loop workflow where the agent identifies the problem via Codacy and proposes the solution via your version control system for a developer to review and merge.
Codacy enforces rate limits to ensure platform stability. If Ceven hits a rate limit, the agent receives a 429 response. Our system implements an exponential backoff strategy, meaning the agent will wait for a short period before retrying the request. For very large organizations with thousands of repositories, we recommend scheduling heavy audit workflows during off peak hours. If you consistently hit limits, you may need to upgrade your Codacy plan to a higher tier that provides increased API quotas for automated tools.
Yes. Ceven interacts with the Codacy API rather than analyzing the code itself. As long as Codacy can analyze the language and provide a report via its API, Ceven can read those metrics and act on them. Whether your project is written in Java, Python, TypeScript, or Go, Ceven simply pulls the resulting issues and quality gate statuses. You manage the language specific rules within the Codacy dashboard, and Ceven handles the operational automation based on the outputs of those rules.
Ceven can perform management tasks that are exposed through the Codacy API, such as adding projects or updating project settings. However, fine grained user permission management is often restricted to the Codacy web interface for security reasons. If the API does not expose a specific permission toggle, the agent will notify you that a manual action is required in the Codacy dashboard. We recommend using an admin account for the initial connection to ensure the agent has the necessary scope to manage repositories.
You can configure the frequency based on your needs. Most teams set up a webhook that notifies Ceven every time a new analysis is completed in Codacy. This allows for real time alerts. Alternatively, you can schedule a polling workflow that runs every hour or once a day to generate a summary report. Because Ceven is an agent platform, you have full control over whether the trigger is event driven or schedule driven depending on how noisy you want your alerts to be.
There is no hard limit imposed by Ceven, but you are bound by the limits of your Codacy subscription plan. If your plan limits the number of analyzed files or repositories, the API will return an error when the agent attempts to add a project beyond that quota. Ceven will capture this error and alert you that your Codacy plan has reached its limit. Once you upgrade your plan, the agent can resume onboarding new repositories without any further configuration changes.
Ceven can trigger the update of project settings via the API, but the actual definitions of what constitutes a pass or fail are managed by the Codacy engine. You define the thresholds for duplication, complexity, and coverage in Codacy. Ceven then monitors the status of those gates. If you want to change a threshold from 80 percent to 90 percent across fifty projects, you can build a Ceven workflow to iterate through your project list and update the settings via the API.
