How it works

agent-security calls the Nerq API for each dependency. Every package is scored on:

• Security — Known CVEs and vulnerability history
• Maintenance — Update frequency, issue response time
• Popularity — Stars, downloads, community size
• License — SPDX compliance, commercial friendliness
• Ecosystem — Framework compatibility, integration quality

No API key required. Free to use.
