Dependency and security advisory watch
Catch vulnerable dependencies before they catch you.
Paste this into AgentBand
Every day at 8am, check our repos for new Dependabot alerts and security advisories, and post any high or critical ones to #security with the package, severity, and a link.
A vulnerable dependency is a quiet risk until it is not. Forge watches your repos for new security advisories and dependency alerts, filters to what is actually serious, and posts each one to Slack so your team patches on purpose instead of finding out the hard way.
How it works

What does the Dependency and security advisory watch agent do? +
A vulnerable dependency is a quiet risk until it is not. Forge watches your repos for new security advisories and dependency alerts, filters to what is actually serious, and posts each one to Slack so your team patches on purpose instead of finding out the hard way.
Which tools does this GitHub agent need? +
It uses GitHub and Slack. You connect each account once in AgentBand, and the agent acts through them. Your credentials are never exposed to the model.
How often does it run? +
Daily at 8:00 AM. You can also run it on demand at any time, or change the schedule by chatting with it.
Do I need to write any code? +
No. You describe the agent in a sentence, connect the tools it needs, and AgentBand runs it. There is nothing to code or deploy.
