Tag entries display the profiles available for that choice. A menu count is not a prediction of the number of HTTP requests: payloads, insertion points, steps and early stopping also affect the work.

Scan dialog

Review URL selection, duplicate removal, scope, excluded extensions and regex filters. Removing parameterless URLs can also remove requests useful for path discovery or raw-request profiles. Match/replace settings modify the input used for scanning; inspect the result when changing headers or session data.

The local Active dialog has Concurrency and Requests per second. Passive, Smart and AI workflows still expose their own worker/analysis settings. The Server dialog additionally selects servers and whether each budget is per server or overall. See scan control.

Profile editors are opened from the corresponding table. Keep profile names unique so rule references and MCP selections remain unambiguous.
