Is Agent Laboratory safe? Agent Laboratory scores 30.7/100 (Grade D), ranked #314 of 328 tracked open-source AI agent projects, on evidence coverage B (3 of 5 independent signal types). The public evidence: no package-provenance attestation found; OSSF Scorecard rates its supply-chain practices 1.8/10; recent commits are unsigned; last pushed 2025-08-20. Every point is earned from checkable signals — never paid placement. How scoring works →

Maintainer Checklist
Raise Scorecard signals Current OSSF Scorecard is 1.8/10. Tighten the weakest checks to improve public safety evidence.
Publish provenance Add package provenance or release attestations so users can verify where shipped artifacts came from.
Increase signed commits Raise the share of verified-signed commits to make maintainer identity and release history easier to trust.
Refresh maintenance signals The repo was last pushed 325 days ago. Fresh activity helps separate stable projects from stale ones.

How to read this: HVTrust (0–100) weighs supply-chain signals (provenance, OSSF Scorecard, signed commits, open license) alongside real-world adoption. Grade D 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 Laboratory safe?

Public trust evidence for Agent Laboratory is thin: several supply-chain signals are missing or weak. This does not mean the project is unsafe — it means an outside observer cannot easily verify the usual integrity checks. Treat with extra scrutiny.
Does Agent Laboratory publish package provenance?
No published build provenance is currently detected for Agent Laboratory. 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 Laboratory have an OpenSSF Scorecard?
Agent Laboratory has an OpenSSF Scorecard score of 1.8/10. 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 Laboratory actively maintained?
Stale. The repository has not been pushed to in 325 days. Consider whether the project is still being maintained.
What license does Agent Laboratory use?
Agent Laboratory ships under MIT. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.

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 Laboratory?

HVTrust scores Agent Laboratory 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.
