I was thinking something almost similar, and was wondering if I can add
the tool name with some tags and then it will be possible to generate
some stats later about which tool fixed more things. I will send out a
mail later today to lkml proposing that we use such a tag.

I think adding URI is not possible until we have a persistent link to
these reports. The report that I generate can only have last 4 days
report, so the URI will not be valid after 4th day.
