What is latest-version?

A tool for finding the newest published version of a Maven artifact, which is a reusable Java or JVM library identified by group and artifact names.

It helps check dependency versions in Maven-based projects and report where the answer was found.

It avoids manually checking repositories and helps identify moved or relocated dependencies.

Install

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.

Any agent

npx skills add kirich1409/krozov-ai-tools --skill latest-version

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/kirich1409/krozov-ai-tools

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install maven-mcp, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 21 skills, 2 hooks.

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	$0.00061	$0.00534
Opus 5	$0.00030	$0.00267
Sonnet 5	$0.00012	$0.00107
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00053

Security

Grade A, and why

latest-version 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 10d 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.

What it actually says

Latest Version

Find the latest version of a Maven artifact via the plugin MCP server (project-aware repository resolution, cache, relocation detection).

Arguments

The user provides groupId:artifactId, for example:

io.ktor:ktor-server-core
org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib
com.google.dagger:hilt-android

Steps

Parse the user's input to extract groupId and artifactId (split by :). If the input has no :, ask the user to provide it in groupId:artifactId form.
Call get_latest_version with:
- groupId, artifactId
- optional stabilityFilter: PREFER_STABLE (default), STABLE_ONLY, or ALL
- optional projectPath when the user is inside a project (uses declared repos)
Present the tool result:
- latestVersion and stability
- allVersionsCount when useful
- resolvedFrom (which repo answered; note viaPublicFallback if true)
- relocatedTo when present — surface the new coordinates clearly
Example:
```
## io.ktor:ktor-client-core

Latest: 3.1.3 (STABLE)
Resolved from: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2 (dependency)
```

Error handling

If the tool reports not found / error, tell the user and suggest checking spelling. Do not invent a version from memory.
Optional: verify_coordinates with the same GA if the user may have hallucinated the name.

Fallback (MCP unavailable only)

If get_latest_version cannot be called, fetch maven-metadata.xml from public repos (Maven Central → Google Maven for Android/Google groups → Gradle Plugin Portal for .gradle.plugin markers), parse <version> / <latest> / <release>, and pick the highest stable version. Note that this path skips project-declared private repos and relocation detection — say so when reporting.

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.
