A tool that assesses the risk of upgrading npm and PyPI dependencies using supporting evidence. npm and PyPI are package registries commonly used by JavaScript and Python projects.

It is for evaluating npm and PyPI package upgrades before applying them to a project.

Dependency upgrades can introduce breaking changes, vulnerabilities, or other compatibility problems. Evidence-backed analysis gives a coding agent information to review before changing versions.

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.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mattpicone/upgradelens

Made for: Gemini CLI.

Security

Grade A, and why

upgradelens 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 today.

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 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.
