 - [pylint](https://pypi.org/project/pylint/): a static code analyser for Python. It analyses your code without actually running it. It checks for errors, enforces a coding standard, looks for code smells, and can make suggestions about how the code could be refactored.
 - [pre-commit Hooks](https://pre-commit.com/hooks.html): scripts that run automatically before each commit is made to a repository, checking your code for embedded passwords, errors, issues, and any of a multitude of configurable policies that you can optionally enforce. (See above.) They're part of the git hooks system, which allows you to trigger actions at certain points in git's execution. This project uses many Hooks. See [pre-commit-config.yaml](https://github.com/FullStackWithLawrence/aws-openai/blob/main/.pre-commit-config.yaml#L45).
 - [codespell](https://github.com/codespell-project/codespell): fixes common misspellings in text files. It's designed primarily for checking misspelled words in source code, but it can be used with other files as well.
+- [bandit](https://github.com/PyCQA/bandit): a tool designed to find common security issues in Python code.
