Maintainer Checklist
Add Scorecard coverageExpose the repository to OpenSSF Scorecard checks so supply-chain posture is easier to verify.
Publish provenanceAdd package provenance or release attestations so users can verify where shipped artifacts came from.
Increase signed commitsRaise the share of verified-signed commits to make maintainer identity and release history easier to trust.
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 D is separate — it grades how many independent signal types back the score (1 of 5), so a high score on thin evidence stays visible. Full methodology →

Is Agent Zero safe?
Public trust evidence for Agent Zero 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 Zero publish package provenance?
No published build provenance is currently detected for Agent Zero. 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 Zero have an OpenSSF Scorecard?
No OpenSSF Scorecard data is currently published for Agent Zero. Maintainers can enable the Scorecard GitHub Action to get a public score; without it, automated supply-chain hygiene is harder for outsiders to verify.
Is Agent Zero actively maintained?
Actively maintained. The repository was pushed to within the last 1 day(s).
What license does Agent Zero use?
Agent Zero ships under NOASSERTION. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.
Are Agent Zero's commits signed?
2% of the last 100 commits to Agent Zero 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.
These runtime-trust fields — detected from public repo docs and manifests — contribute a bounded adjustment to this project's HVTrust score alongside supply-chain evidence.

Maintain Agent Zero?
HVTrust scores Agent Zero 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.
