audit_github_repository

Given a GitHub repository URL, fetches its package.json (and, if present, a pnpm-lock.yaml/package-lock.json/yarn.lock — first one found wins, in that priority order) straight from the repo's default branch and runs the same vulnerability, license-compliance, install-script, and ownership-risk pipelines batch_query_vulnerabilities/check_license_compliance/analyze_install_script/check_maintainer_changes/check_package_provenance expose individually, in one call — no copy-pasting file contents required. A monorepo (package.json#workspaces, Yarn's {packages:[...]} form, or pnpm-workspace.yaml) is detected automatically: pnpm-lock.yaml and yarn.lock already record every workspace member's dependencies directly, and for package.json-only or package-lock.json repos this additionally lists the repo's file tree, resolves the declared glob patterns to member directories, and merges each member's dependencies into the audit (capped at 50 member packages) — see isMonorepo/workspacePatterns/workspacePackageCount/workspaceNote in the result. Every direct dependency (up to 100 per call, across the root and any merged workspace members) gets: an OSV.dev vulnerability check, a license-compliance verdict against the given policy (same default as check_license_compliance: only copyleft/network-copyleft/proprietary are violations unless you pass one), and a tarball-free install-script risk signal (installScriptScanScope: 'lifecycle-scripts-only'). Up to 10 of the packages that actually declare a lifecycle script — prioritized by already-vulnerable, then possible-typosquat, then whatever's left — additionally get the full tarball-fetching deep scan analyze_install_script itself runs (installScriptScanScope: 'deep-tarball-scan', with a populated installScriptFindings array); any remaining flagged packages past that cap keep the lighter signal only, noted in deepScanNote. Any package that comes back vulnerable at high/critical severity, a possible typosquat, or deprecated (ownershipRiskEligible) additionally gets check_maintainer_changes and check_package_provenance run against it — up to 5 such packages per call (ownershipRiskChecked), prioritized the same way as the deep install-script scan, populating maintainerRiskTier/maintainerFindings and provenanceRiskTier/provenanceFindings; remaining eligible packages past that cap are named in ownershipCheckNote. This is the most expensive tool in the suite (a repo lookup, a handful of file fetches, up to 100 registry doc fetches, one OSV batch call, up to 10 tarball fetches, up to 5 packages each getting a maintainer-history check plus a provenance check — the latter alone can fan out to ~8 more registry fetches on its own — and, for a monorepo needing enumeration, one file-tree listing plus up to 50 more manifest fetches) — don't call it in a loop across many repos.
