      description: 'CVE list for a package, KEV-first, with each OSV version range verbatim: `events` plus one render-safe projection per range, `fixed` (the upgrade targets) or `affected_through` (the last vulnerable version, so upgrade past it). No version-membership evaluation is performed server-side; compare versions with your ecosystem''s own semantics. {ecosystem} is the purl type (npm, pypi, maven, golang, cargo, composer, gem, nuget, …) or the OSV display name; {name} is the package name and may itself contain slashes (@scope/name, Go module paths, composer vendor/name, percent-encoding optional) or a Maven group:artifact. Alternatively pass ?purl=pkg:npm/lodash and any path is ignored. Covers CVE-linked, GitHub-reviewed OSS advisories via OSV.dev; absence is not evidence of safety. Keyless twin: MCP tool `query_package`.'
