A dependency-maintenance check for software libraries your project uses. It examines how recently a library was released and how regularly its maintainers publish updates.

Use it to review release dates, release frequency, recent version history, maintenance status, and whether a dependency looks suitable for long-term use.

It helps you spot dependencies that may be outdated or no longer actively maintained, instead of judging them from version numbers alone.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00006	$0.00287
Opus 5	$0.00003	$0.00143
Sonnet 5	$0.00001	$0.00057
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00029

Security

Grade A, and why

deps-age 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 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.

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.

What it actually says

Analyze the age and maintenance status of a dependency using maven-tools-mcp.

Dependency to analyze: $ARGUMENTS

Analysis Steps:

Use analyze_dependency_age to get:
- Days since last release
- Age classification (fresh/current/aging/stale)
- Actionable recommendations
Use analyze_release_patterns to get:
- Release frequency and velocity
- Average time between releases
- Maintenance level (active/moderate/slow/inactive)
- Predicted next release timeframe
Use recentReleases from the analyze_release_patterns response to show:
- Recent version history
- Release gaps and patterns
- Stability trends

Report Format:

Freshness Status:

Last release: X days ago
Classification: [fresh/current/aging/stale]

Maintenance Activity:

Release velocity: X releases per month
Maintenance level: [active/moderate/slow/inactive]
Next release prediction: [timeframe]

Version Timeline: Show the last 5-10 releases with dates and version types.

Recommendation: Based on the analysis, provide guidance on whether this dependency is actively maintained and safe for long-term use.

Changes

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.
