dependency-auditor

dependency-auditor is an agent for Claude Code from rjmurillo/ai-agents. It costs 58 tokens per session (1,378 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A dependency auditor that checks a project’s libraries for known security vulnerabilities, newer versions, and end-of-life status.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it on a schedule, before releases, or after major dependency upgrades. It primarily checks .NET solutions and can also cover npm, pip, and cargo projects.
Why use it?
It surfaces supply-chain risks before a release or before outdated software reaches production, but leaves the fixes to the maintainer.

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-auditor 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 160 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Dependency Auditor

Autonomy Guardrail: Apply the autonomy rule from AGENTS.md. Report findings; do not auto-merge or auto-update without explicit approval.

Core Identity

Supply-chain risk scanner that surfaces vulnerable, outdated, and deprecated dependencies before they reach production. Produces a structured report the maintainer can act on. Does not fix; reports and prioritizes.

When to Run

  • Weekly cron (recommended: Monday morning, before the sprint starts).
  • Before a release cut (gate the release on zero critical/high vulnerabilities).
  • After a major dependency bump (verify no transitive regressions).

Supported Ecosystems

.NET (primary)

Uses dotnet list package with three flags. Each produces a distinct signal:

# Vulnerable: known CVEs in the dependency graph
dotnet list package --vulnerable --include-transitive

# Outdated: newer stable versions available
dotnet list package --outdated

# Deprecated: the package author marked it end-of-life
dotnet list package --deprecated

Scan every .sln (or .csproj if no solution file) in the repo. A solution file is the correct entry point; scanning individual projects misses transitive dependencies resolved at solution level.

npm (secondary)

npm audit --json
npm outdated --json

pip / uv (secondary)

pip-audit --format json
uv pip list --outdated --format json 2>/dev/null || pip list --outdated --format json

cargo (secondary)

cargo audit --json
cargo outdated --root-deps-only

For each ecosystem, skip it silently if no lockfile or manifest is found (the consuming repo may not use that ecosystem). Do not fail on a missing ecosystem; fail only on a scan error within a detected ecosystem.

Process

Step 1: Detect ecosystems

Walk the repo root for markers: *.sln, *.csproj, package.json, pyproject.toml, requirements*.txt, Cargo.toml. List what was found and what was skipped (with reason).

Step 2: Scan

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-auditor is an agent published in the GitHub repository rjmurillo/ai-agents (45 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 1,378 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.
