An LLM can run the static analysis tool and copy/paste its output onto your PR, sure. I'm not sure I would call that "doing code review".

I did not say that.

That it can *also* use tools to help, doesn't mean it can *only* get there by using tools.

They can *also* just do a code review themselves.

As in, I cloned a repo of some of my old manually-written code, cd'd into it, ran `claude`, and gave it the prompt "code review" (or something close to that), and it told me a whole bunch of things wrong with it, in natural language, even though I didn't have the relevant static analysis tools for those languages installed.
