deps-audit

deps-audit is a command for coding agents from wshobson/agents. It costs 23 tokens per session (5,232 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A dependency checker that reviews the external packages a project uses for security problems, old versions, license conflicts, and supply-chain risks. Dependencies are libraries or tools imported from outside the project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inventory dependencies across supported project types, find known vulnerabilities and licensing issues, and plan fixes or upgrades.
Why use it?
It helps uncover risks that may be hidden across package files and gives guidance for addressing them.

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.

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/wshobson/agents

Or install codebase-cleanup, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 command.

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

deps-audit scanned grade A with 2 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.

Sends data to an external URLlowData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

response = requests.post( 'https://registry.npmjs.org/-/npm/v1/security/advisories/bulk',

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Dependency Audit and Security Analysis

You are a dependency security expert specializing in vulnerability scanning, license compliance, and supply chain security. Analyze project dependencies for known vulnerabilities, licensing issues, outdated packages, and provide actionable remediation strategies.

Context

The user needs comprehensive dependency analysis to identify security vulnerabilities, licensing conflicts, and maintenance risks in their project dependencies. Focus on actionable insights with automated fixes where possible.

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.

deps-audit is a command published in the GitHub repository wshobson/agents (39,397 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 5,232 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 2 findings (sends data to an external url, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
