# GitHub Repository License & Dependency Security Auditor

> GitHub Repository License & Dependency Security Auditor is a paid API for AI agents from preflight.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 signals, 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 preflight-agentdiet-dev-github-repository-license-dependency-security-74f491bf
```

Example prompt: Before I pull in modelcontextprotocol/servers as a dependency, can you run a full license and supply-chain security audit on it and tell me if there are any red flags?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI coding agent or developer workflow needs a pre-flight check on any GitHub repository before integrating it as a dependency, executing its code, or including it in a supply chain — especially when license compliance (GPL, MIT, Apache, etc.) and security posture both matter. It is preferable over generic GitHub API calls because it aggregates license risk, maintenance signals, and supply-chain security into a single structured audit result.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent repository name returns an error
- Private repositories that are inaccessible return an access error
- GitHub API rate limits may cause temporary failures
- Repositories with no dependency manifest may return incomplete dependency data
- Payment failure via x402 protocol will block the request

## 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://preflight.agentdiet.dev/v1/license-compliance-scan)

## Output

Returns a structured report covering license type and risk level, maintenance velocity (commit frequency, last activity), popularity signals (stars, forks), and supply-chain security findings (dependency vulnerabilities, suspicious patterns) for the specified GitHub repository.
