How this service works
Evidence-backed npm package upgrade decisions for coding agents.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing a numeric risk score (0–100), a verdict string (e.g. 'low', 'medium', 'high'), and an array of risk signals each with an ID, human-readable detail, and a numeric weight indicating how much it contributed to the score.
Example use cases
CI gate for dependency upgrades
“We have a Dependabot PR bumping `minimist` to 1.2.8 — can you run a risk check on that exact version and tell me if it's safe to auto-merge or if there are supply chain concerns I should review?”
Vetting a new third-party library
“I'm about to add `node-fetch` version 3.3.2 to our project — can you give me its risk score and flag anything suspicious like postinstall scripts or known malicious signals before I approve it?”
Automated security triage in agent pipeline
“For each npm package in this upgrade list, starting with `chalk` version 5.3.0, pull a risk score and verdict so our agent can decide which ones need a human security review.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402-safe-upgrade-api.onrender.com/v1/package-riskWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when a coding agent or CI/CD pipeline needs a fast, evidence-backed go/no-go signal on an npm package upgrade, especially when supply chain attacks (e.g. malicious postinstall scripts, typosquatting) are a concern. Prefer it over manual npm audit or Snyk when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call risk score that integrates directly into an automated agent workflow without requiring OAuth or subscription setup.
Side effects
- Unknown or misspelled package name returns an error or empty result
- Requesting a non-existent version may return a 404 or error response
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) blocks the request with a 402 status
- Rate limiting or service unavailability on the hosted Render instance may cause timeouts
- Packages with no registry metadata may produce incomplete signal sets
