# GitHub Repository Security & License Auditor

> GitHub Repository Security & License Auditor is a paid API for AI agents from mesh.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 health, popularity metrics, and supply-chain security vulnerabilities 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 mesh-agentdiet-dev-github-repository-security-license-auditor-ea501f06
```

Example prompt: Can you audit the langchain-ai/langgraph GitHub repo for me — I need to know its license type, how actively it's maintained, its stars and forks, and whether there are any supply-chain security risks before I add it as a dependency?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI coding agent or developer needs to vet an open source GitHub repository before integrating it — specifically for license risk (e.g. GPL vs MIT), supply-chain security, and maintenance health signals all in a single call. Prefer this over manual GitHub browsing or generic web search when structured, machine-readable audit results are needed at $0.01 per call.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent repository in owner/name format returns an error
- Private repositories not accessible via GitHub public API will fail or return incomplete data
- GitHub API rate limiting may cause transient failures
- Repository with no license file may return null or unknown for license fields
- Network timeouts if GitHub API is slow

## 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://mesh.agentdiet.dev/v1/github-scanner)

## Output

Returns a structured report covering the repository's license type and risk level, maintenance velocity indicators (recent commits, release cadence), popularity metrics (stars, forks), and supply-chain security findings such as dependency vulnerabilities or suspicious package signals.
