dependency-scanning

dependency-scanning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills. It costs 49 tokens per session (2,390 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A process for checking third-party packages and libraries for publicly known security vulnerabilities.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps scan package manifests, test projects with tools such as Snyk or Dependabot, track issues over time, and export vulnerability reports.
Why use it?
It reveals supply-chain risks hidden in dependencies before they affect an application or release.

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 B, and why

dependency-scanning scanned grade B 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 9d 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.

Downloads and executes remote codemediumSupply chain

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anchore/syft/main/install.sh | sh -s

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

Subscribe to this mod's changes

dependency-scanning is a skill published in the GitHub repository BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills (1,084 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 2,390 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
