`origin_status`

Pack: softwareheritage · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/softwareheritage/mcp

Report whether one repository URL is archived, and as of when. Returns the most recent visit that produced a usable snapshot: the visit date, the snapshot id, and the visit type (git, hg, svn, npm, pypi…). This is the tool that answers “is this code safe” — a repository that vanishes tomorrow is recoverable from the snapshot named here. Pass the origin URL exactly as it appears in origin_search; the archive treats a differing URL as a different origin. Sourced from the Software Heritage archive.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`url`	string	yes	Full origin URL as archived (e.g. “https://github.com/torvalds/linux”).
