Configuration¶

Prisma AIRS CLI is designed to work with minimal setup. All settings have sensible defaults — only credentials are strictly required.

Config Cascade¶

Settings are resolved in priority order (highest wins):

CLI flags  >  Environment variables  >  ~/.prisma-airs/config.json  >  Zod defaults

This means a --provider flag always beats an env var, which always beats the config file.

For settings you use across every run, create ~/.prisma-airs/config.json:

~/.prisma-airs/config.json

{
  "llmProvider": "claude-api",
  "scanConcurrency": 5,
  "maxMemoryChars": 3000,
  "memoryEnabled": true
}

Provider	Config Value	Default Model	Auth
Claude API	`claude-api`	`claude-opus-4-6`	`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`
Claude Vertex	`claude-vertex`	`claude-opus-4-6`	GCP ADC
Claude Bedrock	`claude-bedrock`	`anthropic.claude-opus-4-6-v1`	AWS creds
Gemini API	`gemini-api`	`gemini-2.5-pro`	`GOOGLE_API_KEY`
Gemini Vertex	`gemini-vertex`	`gemini-2.5-pro`	GCP ADC
Gemini Bedrock	`gemini-bedrock`	`gemini-2.5-pro`	AWS creds

Claude Vertex region

The claude-vertex provider defaults to the global region, not us-central1. Override with GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION if needed.

For detailed provider setup, see LLM Providers.

These settings control how Prisma AIRS CLI interacts with AIRS and the memory system.

Env Var	Config Key	Default	What it does
`SCAN_CONCURRENCY`	`scanConcurrency`	`5`	Parallel scan requests per batch (1--20)
`MAX_MEMORY_CHARS`	`maxMemoryChars`	`3000`	Character budget for memory injection (500--10000)
`MEMORY_ENABLED`	`memoryEnabled`	`true`	Toggle cross-run learning on/off
`ACCUMULATE_TESTS`	`accumulateTests`	`false`	Carry forward tests across iterations
`MAX_ACCUMULATED_TESTS`	`maxAccumulatedTests`	unlimited	Cap on accumulated test count
`DATA_DIR`	`dataDir`	`~/.prisma-airs/runs`	Where run states are saved
`MEMORY_DIR`	`memoryDir`	`~/.prisma-airs/memory`	Where learnings are stored

Concurrency vs. rate limits

Keep scanConcurrency at 5 or lower to avoid AIRS rate limiting. Increase only if your tenant has elevated quotas.

Path	Purpose
`~/.prisma-airs/config.json`	Persistent configuration
`~/.prisma-airs/runs/`	Saved run states (JSON per run)
`~/.prisma-airs/memory/`	Cross-run learnings (JSON per category)
