Koskamo

package-guard-mcp

A deterministic guard for AI coding agents that verifies packages before installation. It checks for typosquats (slopsquat), OSV vulnerabilities, and malware using regex and public lists like OSV and DNS. It provides reproducible verdicts with rule IDs and versions, running locally without LLMs in the detection path.

Package and access

Local package with source-attributed installation metadata. Koskamo does not execute packages during review.
