Before install

Give coding agents one install verdict before dependency changes.

DepScout turns public registry and repository metadata into a compact decision agents can show before running package manager commands.

Caution verdict

lookalike package

Similar name to a popular dependency, missing license, or stale release activity.

Paid route plan

Small checks, clear prices.

DepScout is designed as a microservice surface: each call returns a machine-readable install decision.

Install verdicts

Return safe, caution, or block decisions that coding agents can use before installing dependencies.

Package hygiene

Check license, last release, maintainer surface, deprecation, yanked releases, and dependency footprint.

Typosquat suspicion

Flag names that look close to popular packages so agents can ask before adding them to a repo.

Agent tool ready

Check before your agent installs.

The route is x402-ready and returns compact JSON that IDE agents, CI bots, and repo assistants can consume directly.
