# GitHub Repository Security & License Risk Auditor

> GitHub Repository Security & License Risk 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).

Evaluates a GitHub repository for license risk, maintenance health, popularity signals, and supply-chain security before integrating or executing its code.

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-risk-auditor-65301851
```

Example prompt: Before I pull in langchain-ai/langgraph as a dependency, can you run a full security and license risk audit on it — I need to know about maintenance health, supply-chain risks, and whether the license is compatible with commercial use?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI coding agent or developer needs a pre-flight security and compliance check on a GitHub repository before integrating it as a dependency or executing its code. It is especially valuable for automated pipelines that vet open-source packages for license compatibility, maintenance health, and supply-chain risk in a single call, rather than manually checking GitHub stats, license files, and vulnerability databases separately.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid repo format (not owner/name) returns a validation error
- Private or non-existent repository returns a not-found error
- GitHub API rate limits may cause intermittent failures or degraded data
- Repos with no license file may return unknown license risk
- Payment failure (HTTP 402) if x402 micropayment is not fulfilled

## 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/repo-risk-score)

## Output

Returns a structured risk report for the specified GitHub repository, including license risk classification, maintenance velocity indicators (commit frequency, last activity), community popularity metrics (stars, forks), and supply-chain security signals such as known vulnerable dependencies or suspicious package characteristics.
