By framing
What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“Nuclei – fast template-based scanner for known vulnerabilities” GLM 4.7 FlashX · ASM · budget prompt · alternative
“Free (open-source) | Fast CVE/misconfig scans ... No full UI.” Grok 4.1 Fast · Vuln management · budget prompt · alternative
And against it
Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.
“Trivy and Nuclei are noted as strong specialized tools but with limited enterprise features or centralized management” Perplexity Sonar · Vuln management · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

Domains cited
Fifty-two of the fifty-two domain citations in answers naming Nuclei came from somebody else's page.

Claim this page
Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Nuclei's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Nuclei, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.
It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at nuclei.ai is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.
Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
