This Skill addresses the challenge developers face in quickly and comprehensively assessing security risks when integrating third-party dependencies. In practice, project dependencies—including packages, SBOMs, manifests, and agent components—may harbor known vulnerabilities. Manually querying multiple data sources such as OSV, GitHub Security Advisories, NVD, EPSS, and CISA KEV is inefficient and prone to oversight.
Usage is straightforward: simply input a command like "Check the current project for dependency vulnerabilities" or "Scan package.json for security risks" into your AI coding assistant. agent-bom will automatically parse project dependencies, cross-reference multiple authoritative vulnerability databases, and generate a structured exposure report. You can then use natural language commands to filter results from specific databases, adjust data boundaries (e.g., using only NVD or CISA KEV), or export reports in JSON/CSV format.
It is particularly well-suited for backend developers, DevOps engineers, and testers who need to manage dependency security. This includes teams already using CI/CD pipelines who want to integrate vulnerability scanning into their daily development workflow, as well as enterprise projects that must meet compliance audit requirements (such as CISA KEV).
We recommend using this tool for a unified scan after each dependency update or before deployment. Note that it primarily focuses on matching against known vulnerability databases and cannot detect zero-day vulnerabilities or custom security policies. Additionally, scan results depend on the timeliness of the database data, so regular synchronization with the latest data is advised.
Key Features
Unlike Snyk or Trivy, agent-bom is specifically designed for the dependency exposure scenarios of AI agents. It supports explicit selection of data boundaries (e.g., using only NVD or CISA KEV) and offers deep integration with databases like OSV and GitHub Security Advisories, making it more suitable for agent development scenarios that require fine-grained control over data sources.
Limitations
Requires a Node.js runtime environment and network access to external vulnerability databases (OSV, NVD, etc.); offline environments are not supported. Scan speed is affected by the number of project dependencies, and large monorepos may experience longer processing times.
