Quick brief
Use pip-audit when an agent needs to review a Python environment or requirements set for known vulnerabilities before release, deployment, or dependency approval. The agent can audit an installed environment or a requirements file, surface affected packages, and recommend upgrade paths or remediations. The scope is a Python dependency vulnerability check with actionable output, not a generic security platform or package index listing.
