Hi all. I'm setting up a basic agent on my Pi using some Open Claw tools and a local LLM. My requirements.txt is getting long, and I know I should be auditing these dependencies.

I've seen Bandit and Semgrep mentioned for static analysis. For checking agent dependencies for security issues, which one is more practical for a beginner? I get lost in configuration. I care about finding malicious packages or dangerous code in the dependency tree itself.

Is one better suited for Python agent frameworks? Or should I just run both?
