# GitHub Repository Security & License Auditor

> GitHub Repository Security & License Auditor is a paid API for AI agents from hn-pulse.agentdiet.dev, paid per call via MPP, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-21).

Scans a GitHub repository for license risk, maintenance velocity, popularity metrics, and supply-chain security vulnerabilities before integrating or executing its code.

## Facts

- Price: $0.01/call
- Payment: MPP
- Status: unknown

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability hn-pulse-agentdiet-dev-github-repository-security-license-auditor-5eebbe00
```

Example prompt: Before I add langchain-ai/langgraph to our project, can you audit that GitHub repo for license risks, supply-chain security issues, and how actively it's being maintained?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI coding agent or developer workflow needs to vet a third-party GitHub repository before integrating it as a dependency or executing its code — especially for license compatibility checks, supply-chain risk assessment, and maintenance health signals. Prefer it over generic GitHub API calls when you want a consolidated security and compliance report in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent repository slug returns an error (repo not found)
- Private repositories inaccessible without authentication return an error
- GitHub API rate limiting may cause transient failures
- Malformed owner/name format causes a validation error
- Payment failure via x402 prevents the call from completing

## How this service works

Evaluates any GitHub repository for license risk, maintenance velocity, stars/forks, and supply-chain security before code execution. (Live x402 v2, IETF MPP & MCP endpoint at https://hn-pulse.agentdiet.dev/v1/github-scanner)

## Output

Returns a structured report covering the repository's license type and associated risk level, maintenance velocity indicators (commit frequency, last updated), popularity signals (star and fork counts), and supply-chain/dependency security findings that flag potentially dangerous or vulnerable packages.
