I see no need to provide advertizing for these tools.

Our security disclosure rules require that the submitter acknowledge
they have reviewed any LLM output themselves before reporting.  So
from that POV it is the human who gave us the report and whom
deserves the credit, not any tool or vendor.

FWIW, although pretty much every security report recently smells
strongly of LLM (highly structured markdown with headings that
look the same from all reporters), almost none of them credit the
specific tool used anyway.

With regards,
Daniel
