Best for
  • Developers and platform engineering teams using Terraform
  • Teams maintaining multi-cloud architecture documentation
  • Users who want local processing of infrastructure code
  • Developers auditing NPM dependencies within AI workflows
  • Teams performing supply chain security assessments
  • Users of Claude Desktop, Cursor, or VS Code
Not for
  • Projects that do not use Terraform
  • Workloads requiring complete Azure or GCP resource coverage
  • Users seeking server-side cloud discovery or remote infrastructure management
  • Projects outside the NPM ecosystem (e.g., pure Python/Go)
  • Environments without network access to deps.dev, OSV.dev, and the npm registry
  • Scenarios requiring maintenance by an official upstream vendor
Required permissions
  • It needs to read local Terraform projects, variable files, and optionally plan JSON and graph DOT files
  • Normal operation requires local Terraform, Graphviz, and Git installations
  • AWS credentials are needed when using AWS Bedrock for AI annotations
  • Network access to the NPM registry and external services (deps.dev, OSV.dev, OpenSSF, npms.io, GitHub)
  • Read access to workspace lockfiles (pnpm-lock.yaml, package-lock., yarn.lock) for cache invalidation
Risks and side effects
  • Azure and GCP currently have partial support limited to core services, so diagrams may be incomplete
  • When Bedrock or another REST API annotation backend is enabled, metadata and a summary graph are sent to the configured model service; the README states that .tf source files are not sent
  • Generated diagrams depend on the accuracy of the Terraform, plan, or graph inputs and do not replace infrastructure validation
  • Third-party READMEs and changelogs are untrusted external content; they are wrapped in tags with _meta flags but should still be handled cautiously
  • Depends on availability and accuracy of external services
  • Batch requests are capped at 25 packages to prevent registry enumeration; larger sets require batching
  • Third-party open source project, not officially maintained by NPM or Anthropic
