NpmGuard

NpmGuard uses AI agents to audit npm packages before installation, detect suspicious behavior, and return evidence-backed verdicts.

NpmGuard helps developers identify risky npm packages before installation. With one familiar command, it analyzes the requested package and returns a clear verdict supported by evidence.

npx npmguard-cli install <package>

What it does

Instead of installing a package immediately, NpmGuard first examines its files, dependencies, install scripts, and potentially dangerous behavior.

If no significant risk is detected, the installation can continue normally. If suspicious behavior is found, NpmGuard warns the developer and explains the evidence behind the verdict.


Why it matters

Modern applications depend on hundreds of open-source packages. A single compromised package or malicious update can expose developer machines, CI pipelines, credentials, and production infrastructure.

Most security tools detect these risks after a dependency has already entered the project. NpmGuard moves that decision earlier, when the developer still has the opportunity to stop the installation.
