Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00420 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00210 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00084 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00042 |
Grade A, and why
Dependency Security Review scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Unrestricted tool accesslowExcessive agency
A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.
3. **Post-install scripts** - Dependencies with `postinstall` scripts can execute arbitrary code during `npm install`. Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.
What it actually says
Dependency Security Review
Review this pull request for changes to dependencies. A significant portion of PRs in this repo are automated dependency bumps (Dependabot, Snyk). This check ensures dependency changes get meaningful review.
What to Check
For Any package.json Changes
-
New dependencies - For each newly added dependency:
- Is it well-maintained (not abandoned)?
- Does it have known vulnerabilities?
- Is it the right choice, or does an existing dependency already cover this use case?
- Is the version pinned appropriately (exact vs range)?
-
Major version bumps - For major version upgrades:
- Are there breaking changes that affect our usage?
- Have the callers been updated to match the new API?
-
Removed dependencies - For each removed dependency:
- Are all imports/requires of this dependency also removed?
- Is there a replacement, or was the functionality dropped?
For package-lock.json Changes
-
Large lockfile diffs (>500 lines changed) - Flag for human review, as they may indicate a transitive dependency shift that warrants attention.
-
New transitive dependencies - Check if the total dependency count increased significantly.
Security-Specific Concerns
-
Packages with filesystem/network access - New dependencies that read/write files or make network requests deserve extra scrutiny since this tool runs locally on user machines.
-
Native/binary dependencies - New native modules (
node-gyp,.nodebinaries) increase the attack surface and build complexity. -
Post-install scripts - Dependencies with
postinstallscripts can execute arbitrary code duringnpm install.
What to Do
- If you find concerning dependency changes, add a comment explaining the concern.
- Do NOT modify
package.jsonorpackage-lock.jsonfiles directly. - If no dependency files were changed in this PR, do nothing.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

Dependency Security Review is an agent published in the GitHub repository continuedev/continue (35,702 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 420 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (unrestricted tool access). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
