| 128 | +## Prerequisites |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +### System Requirements |
| 131 | +- Node.js 18+ and npm |
| 132 | +- Playwright MCP server (automatically installed) |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +### Installation |
| 135 | +The Playwright MCP server is automatically configured and installed when you run the agent. No manual installation is required. |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +```bash |
| 138 | +# The agent will automatically install the Playwright MCP server: |
| 139 | +# npx @playwright/mcp@latest |
| 140 | +``` |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +## Examples |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +### Test with Known Packages |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +```bash |
| 147 | +# Test with a healthy package (Express) |
| 148 | +qodo --agent-file=agent.toml -y --set package_name="express" |
| 149 | +# Expected: "healthy" score with high metrics |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +# Test with a risky package (Request - deprecated) |
| 152 | +qodo --agent-file=agent.toml -y --set package_name="request" |
| 153 | +# Expected: "risky" score with deprecation warnings |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +# Test with a sustainable package |
| 156 | +qodo --agent-file=agent.toml -y --set package_name="moment" |
| 157 | +# Expected: "sustainable" score (popular but has maintenance concerns) |
| 158 | +``` |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | +### CI/CD Integration |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +```yaml |
| 163 | +# GitHub Actions example |
| 164 | +name: Package Health Check |
| 165 | +on: [pull_request] |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | +jobs: |

| 191 | +
|
| 192 | +## Troubleshooting |
| 193 | +
|
| 194 | +### Common Issues |
| 195 | +
|
| 196 | +**Issue**: `Could not initialize the server playwright` |
| 197 | +```bash |
| 198 | +# The Playwright MCP server should install automatically |
| 199 | +# If you encounter issues, you can manually install it: |
| 200 | +npx @playwright/mcp@latest --help |
| 201 | +
|
| 202 | +# Or check if Node.js is available: |
| 203 | +node --version |
| 204 | +npm --version |
| 205 | +``` |
| 206 | + |
| 207 | +**Issue**: `Browser launch failed` |
| 208 | +```bash |
| 209 | +# The Playwright MCP server handles browser installation automatically |
| 210 | +# If you encounter issues, the agent can use the browser_install tool |
| 211 | +# to install required browsers |
| 212 | +
|
| 213 | +# For system dependencies (Ubuntu/Debian): |
| 214 | +sudo apt-get update |
| 215 | +sudo apt-get install -y \ |
| 216 | + libnss3 \ |
| 217 | + libatk-bridge2.0-0 \ |
| 218 | + libdrm2 \ |
| 219 | + libxkbcommon0 \ |
| 220 | + libxcomposite1 \ |
| 221 | + libxdamage1 \ |
| 222 | + libxrandr2 \ |
| 223 | + libgbm1 \ |
| 224 | + libxss1 \ |
| 225 | + libasound2 |
| 226 | +``` |
| 227 | + |
| 228 | +**Issue**: `Package not found on Snyk Advisor` |
| 229 | +- Verify the package name is correct |
| 230 | +- Check if the package exists on npm registry |
| 231 | +- Some packages may not be indexed by Snyk yet |
| 232 | +- Try alternative package names or spellings |
| 233 | + |
| 234 | +**Issue**: `Rate limiting or blocked requests` |
| 235 | +- The agent uses Playwright with realistic browser headers |
| 236 | +- If issues persist, try running with delays between requests |
| 237 | +- Check your network connection and proxy settings |
| 238 | + |
| 239 | +### Debug Mode |
| 240 | + |
| 241 | +For verbose output and debugging: |
| 242 | + |
| 243 | +```bash |
| 244 | +# Run in interactive mode for debugging |
| 245 | +qodo chat agent.toml |
| 246 | +
|
| 247 | +# Then ask: "Please analyze the package 'express' with verbose logging" |
| 248 | +``` |
| 249 | + |
| 250 | +## Supported Registries |
| 251 | + |
| 252 | +| Registry | Status | Package URL Format | |
| 253 | +|----------|--------|-------------------| |
| 254 | +| npm | ✅ Supported | `https://snyk.io/advisor/npm-package/{name}` | |
| 255 | +| PyPI | 🚧 Planned | `https://snyk.io/advisor/pypi-package/{name}` | |

| 257 | +| RubyGems | 🚧 Planned | `https://snyk.io/advisor/rubygems-package/{name}` | |
| 258 | + |
| 259 | +## Limitations |
| 260 | + |
| 261 | +- Currently supports npm packages only |
| 262 | +- Requires internet connection to fetch Snyk Advisor data |
| 263 | +- Analysis accuracy depends on Snyk's data freshness |
| 264 | +- Some packages may not be indexed by Snyk Advisor |
| 265 | +- Rate limiting may apply for bulk analysis |
