Check the health of your project’s dependencies

Your project’s npm and PyPI dependencies with their latest versions, licences and maintenance signals from GitHub, plus any security incidents in the news.

Steps

At most, per call

A dependency health check shows which packages are outdated, unmaintained or risky before you upgrade. With Agentik, your AI reads each package from npm and PyPI, each repository’s activity from GitHub, and recent security news with Serper.

Step 1: Read the packages
npm returns the latest version, licence and dependencies of ten packages, and PyPI the same for five Python packages.

- PyPI packagePyPI · 5 packagesFree
Step 2: Read the repositories
GitHub returns each repository’s last push, open issues, stars and licence.

Step 3: Search for incidents
Serper searches the news for vulnerabilities, takeovers or malicious releases.

Step 4: Write the report
Your AI writes the packages to update, replace or watch, and the licences to check.
Your agent does this part, with no tool call.

Give this to your agent

Use my connected Agentik MCP server for this job: dependency health check.

Check the health of my project’s dependencies. First ask me for my package.json or requirements file, or the list of packages.

Read each npm package with npm/package-latest and each Python package with pypi/package. Read each project’s repository with github/repo (last push, open issues, stars, licence). Search for security incidents with serper/news.

Finish with a table (package, my version, latest, licence, last push, open issues, risk) and the packages to update, replace or watch, with reasons.

Before running anything, inspect each tool with inspect_tool, ask me for any input you don’t have instead of inventing it, and tell me the total price. Wait for my go. At the end, tell me what Agentik charged.

Placeholders. Your rows come from your run.

Each provider does one part

No single provider covers this job. Your agent calls each one for its part, from one connection.

Good to know

npm, PyPI and GitHub lookups are free; the news searches cost at most a cent each.
GitHub’s unauthenticated quota is shared; your agent spaces calls on large lists.

When to use something else

For continuous vulnerability scanning in CI, use a software composition analysis tool. This playbook gives a readable health check when you plan upgrades.

Questions

Does it replace a vulnerability scanner?

No. It gives a readable check before upgrades; a scanner in CI catches known vulnerabilities on every build.

What about large dependency lists?

GitHub’s free quota is shared, so your agent spaces calls on long lists.

What does the example cost?

At most $0.03, reserved before each call and settled at the measured usage.
