For artifact dependencies used by a Gradle build, is there any way to see if newer versions of those artifacts exist in any repository used by that build?
Also, what algorithm does such a tool used to determine "newer"?

Have a look at gradle-versions-plugin
.
The documentation also explains what is considered as a more recent or latest version.
Note also that an alternative as of Gradle 4.8 is to combine dynamic versions and dependency locking.
