• socket info <package@version> - looks up issues for a package

• socket report create <path(s)-to-folder-or-file> - creates a report on socket.dev

  Uploads the specified package.json and lock files for JavaScript, Python, and Go dependency manifests. If any folder is specified, the ones found in there recursively are uploaded.

  Supports globbing such as **/package.json, **/requirements.txt, **/pyproject.toml, and **/go.mod.

  Ignores any file specified in your project's .gitignore, the projectIgnorePaths in your project's socket.yml and on top of that has a sensible set of default ignores

• socket report view <report-id> - looks up issues and scores from a report

• socket wrapper --enable and socket wrapper --disable - Enables and disables the Socket 'safe-npm' wrapper.

• socket raw-npm and socket raw-npx - Temporarily disables the Socket 'safe-npm' wrapper.

All aliases supports flags and arguments of the commands they alias.

• socket ci - alias for socket report create --view --strict which creates a report and quits with an exit code if the result is unhealthy. Use like eg. socket ci . for a report for the current folder

• --view - when set on socket report create the command will immediately do a socket report view style view of the created report, waiting for the server to complete it

• --json - outputs result as json which you can then pipe into jq and other tools
• --markdown - outputs result as markdown which you can then copy into an issue, PR or even chat

• --all - by default only high and critical issues are included, by setting this flag all issues will be included
• --strict - when set, exits with an error code if report result is deemed unhealthy

• --dry-run - like all CLI tools that perform an action should have, we have a dry run flag. Eg. socket report create supports running the command without actually uploading anything
• --debug - outputs additional debug output. Great for debugging, geeks and us who develop. Hopefully you will never need it, but it can still be fun, right?
• --help - prints the help for the current command. All CLI tools should have this flag
• --version - prints the version of the tool. All CLI tools should have this flag

The CLI reads and uses data from a socket.yml file in the folder you run it in. It supports the version 2 of the socket.yml file format and makes use of the projectIgnorePaths to excludes files when creating a report.

• SOCKET_SECURITY_API_KEY - if set, this will be used as the API-key

• SOCKET_SECURITY_API_BASE_URL - if set, this will be the base for all API-calls. Defaults to https://api.socket.dev/v0/
• SOCKET_SECURITY_API_PROXY - if set to something like http://127.0.0.1:9090, then all request will be proxied through that proxy

• @socketsecurity/sdk - the SDK used in this CLI

• Announcement blog post
• Socket API Reference - the API used in this CLI
• Socket GitHub App - the plug-and-play GitHub App
