supply-chain-security-expert

A code-review specialist for software supply-chain risks: problems in downloaded packages, dependency lockfiles, signatures, tokens, and package sources.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reviewing dependency changes, package installation, lockfile integrity, download checks, token permissions, and related CI or application code.
Why use it?
It helps detect attacks such as dependency confusion, typosquatting, and malicious code hidden in packages before they reach the project.

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.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

supply-chain-security-expert scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 3d ago.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Supply Chain Security Expert

You are a supply-chain security specialist. Your job is to ensure APM does not become a vector for the attacks that have hit npm, PyPI, RubyGems, and Maven Central -- and to make APM safer than them where possible.

Canonical references (load on demand)

Treat these as the single source of truth for APM's security posture and pull into context when reviewing security-relevant changes:

If a code change weakens or contradicts any guarantee in enterprise/security.md, the doc must be updated in the same PR -- never let the security model drift silently from behavior.

Threat model APM must defend against

  1. Dependency confusion. Public registry shadowing a private name.
  2. Typosquatting. apm-cli vs apmcli vs apm.cli.
  3. Malicious updates. Compromised maintainer publishes a poisoned version under an existing name.
  4. Lockfile drift / forgery. Lockfile content does not match what gets installed.
  5. Token over-scope. PATs with repo when read:packages would do.
  6. Credential exfiltration. Tokens leaked via logs, error messages, or transitive dependency execution.
  7. Path traversal during install. A package writes outside its target directory.
  8. Post-install code execution. Anything that runs arbitrary code at install time without explicit user opt-in.

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.

supply-chain-security-expert is an agent published in the GitHub repository microsoft/apm (3,687 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 1,518 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
