In Agent Frameworks

How to read this: HVTrust (0–100) weighs supply-chain signals (provenance, OSSF Scorecard, signed commits, open license) alongside real-world adoption. Grade B reflects the trust score band: A ≥ 80, B ≥ 65, C ≥ 50, D < 50. Evidence coverage B is separate — it grades how many independent signal types back the score (3 of 5), so a high score on thin evidence stays visible. Full methodology →

Is Agent Governance Toolkit safe?

Public supply-chain signals for Agent Governance Toolkit are strong: it has multiple independent trust indicators in place. This does not replace your own security review, but Agent Governance Toolkit carries less obvious unverified-evidence risk than projects with thin signals.
Does Agent Governance Toolkit publish package provenance?
No published build provenance is currently detected for Agent Governance Toolkit. This is common for open-source projects but means consumers cannot independently verify that the package on the registry matches the GitHub source.
Does Agent Governance Toolkit have an OpenSSF Scorecard?
Agent Governance Toolkit has an OpenSSF Scorecard score of 7.9/10. The Scorecard checks for branch protection, signed releases, dependency updates, fuzzing, code review, and other supply-chain hygiene items. See the full check breakdown on this page.
Is Agent Governance Toolkit actively maintained?
Actively maintained. The repository was pushed to within the last 1 day(s).
What license does Agent Governance Toolkit use?
Agent Governance Toolkit ships under MIT. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.
Are Agent Governance Toolkit's commits signed?
92% of the last 100 commits to Agent Governance Toolkit are verified-signed (GPG, SSH, S/MIME, or GitHub's signing flow). Signed commits help confirm that code was authored by who the commit claims.

Not a safety endorsement. HVTracker describes what public signals show, not whether a project is safe for your use case. Run your own security review before adopting in production.

Maintain Agent Governance Toolkit?

For maintainers

HVTrust scores Agent Governance Toolkit from public signals only — we never contact maintainers first. If a signal is wrong, stale, or missing (provenance you publish, a Scorecard you run, signed releases), tell us and we'll review it. Corrections are public and tracked on GitHub.
