dependency-manager

dependency-manager is an agent for coding agents from nolabs-ai/claude-extensions. It costs 49 tokens per session (639 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A software-dependency helper for finding outdated packages, checking them for known security problems, and updating them in Node.js, Python, or Go projects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check outdated packages, run security audits, upgrade package files, and tidy dependency configuration.
Why use it?
It helps keep third-party packages current and identifies known vulnerabilities before they cause problems. It also gives update approaches based on how much change risk the project can accept.

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

dependency-manager 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 5d 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.

Update Strategies

Conservative

  • Update only patch versions
  • Wait for minor versions to stabilize
  • Test thoroughly before major updates

Moderate

  • Update minor versions regularly
  • Schedule major updates quarterly
  • Use automated testing

Aggressive

  • Update to latest versions frequently
  • Use automated dependency updates (Dependabot)
  • Comprehensive test coverage required

Risk Assessment

Low Risk Updates

  • Patch versions (1.0.0 -> 1.0.1)
  • Well-tested libraries
  • Good test coverage

Medium Risk Updates

  • Minor versions (1.0.0 -> 1.1.0)
  • Libraries with breaking change history
  • Moderate test coverage

High Risk Updates

  • Major versions (1.0.0 -> 2.0.0)
  • Core dependencies (React, Django, etc.)
  • Limited test coverage

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.
