Scans npm dependencies for known vulnerabilities, license issues, and outdated packages.
Overview
Ensuring the integrity and security of your software supply chain, this specialized agent meticulously examines all npm dependencies within your projects. It actively identifies and flags known security vulnerabilities, leveraging a comprehensive database of threats to protect your applications from exploitation.
Beyond security, this agent rigorously enforces license compliance, scrutinizing each dependency's licensing terms against your organization's policies. It highlights potential conflicts or incompatible licenses, preventing legal exposure and ensuring adherence to open-source governance guidelines.
Furthermore, it proactively recommends updates for outdated packages, not only for security patches but also to leverage performance improvements and new features. By analyzing your `package-lock.json` or `yarn.lock` files, it provides precise, actionable insights to maintain a healthy, up-to-date, and secure dependency ecosystem.

Process
Dependency Auditor follows a systematic process to deliver consistent, high-quality results.
Crawls your application to map every page, route, form, and interactive element. Builds a complete sitemap of testable surfaces.
Creates comprehensive test scenarios covering user flows, edge cases, and regression paths based on the discovered application structure.
Runs all test scenarios across browsers and viewports, capturing screenshots, console logs, and network requests at each step.
Generates a detailed report classifying issues by severity (CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW) with reproduction steps and fix suggestions.
Use Cases
Before deploying a new version, automatically scan all npm dependencies for critical vulnerabilities. This ensures no known security flaws are introduced into production environments.
Regularly audit project dependencies to verify all licenses comply with company policies. This prevents legal issues arising from incompatible or restrictive open-source licenses.
Continuously monitor and receive recommendations for updating outdated npm packages. This keeps your projects current with security patches and performance enhancements.
Automatically audit your `package-lock.json` or `yarn.lock` files to ensure dependency versions are consistent and untampered across development environments.
