The AI Dependency Challenge: Your AI coding assistant is making dependency decisions. Who’s checking

AI coding assistants and agents are helping developers move faster, but they can also create more dependency work: outdated packages, poor upgrade paths, broken builds, and remediation tasks that land back on engineering teams. In this hands-on session, you’ll connect Sonatype Guide to AI coding assistants through MCP for tools like Claude, Cursor, and Copilot, then see how trusted open source intelligence helps developers and AI agents choose better packages as they build. You’ll explore how Guide surfaces dependency health, quality, and upgrade guidance through the tools developers already use, and see how Agent P automates dependency remediation by applying and validating upgrades in connected repositories. Leave with practical experience using Sonatype Guide to reduce dependency maintenance, avoid breaking-change rework, and help humans and AI agents build faster with more confidence.
