How this service works
Check an npm package, PyPI package, or GitHub repo and return a DepScout install verdict.
Output
A DepScout install verdict indicating whether the package is safe, risky, or dangerous, along with supporting risk signals about the npm, PyPI, or GitHub package analyzed.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Can you check if the npm package 'colors' is safe to install? I want to know if there are any supply chain risks or security red flags before I add it as a dependency.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://depscout.vercel.app/risk/packageWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an AI agent or developer needs a fast, automated security verdict on a specific npm, PyPI, or GitHub dependency before installation or inclusion in a project. Prefer this over general web searches when you need a structured, machine-readable install verdict rather than community forum opinions.
Side effects
- Package not found in the specified registry — returns error or unknown verdict
- Invalid or malformed package name or repo URL — returns validation error
- Registry API unavailable — upstream timeout or service error
- Unsupported package ecosystem — only npm, PyPI, and GitHub repos are supported
