In Browser & Computer Use

How to read this: HVTrust (0–100) weighs supply-chain signals (provenance, OSSF Scorecard, signed commits, open license) alongside real-world adoption. Grade C reflects the trust score band: A ≥ 80, B ≥ 65, C ≥ 50, D < 50. Evidence coverage C is separate — it grades how many independent signal types back the score (2 of 5), so a high score on thin evidence stays visible. Full methodology →

Is Argent safe?

Argent has a mixed signal profile. Some trust indicators are present, others are missing. Whether it is safe for your use case depends on which gaps matter to you — review the breakdown below before adopting in production.

Does Argent publish package provenance?

Yes. Argent's package releases carry build provenance attestations, which cryptographically link the published package back to its source repository and CI workflow.

Does Argent have an OpenSSF Scorecard?

Argent has an OpenSSF Scorecard score of 5.6/10. 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 Argent actively maintained?

Actively maintained. The repository was pushed to within the last 1 day(s).

What license does Argent use?

Argent ships under Apache-2.0. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.

Are Argent's commits signed?

99% of the last 100 commits to Argent 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 Argent?

For maintainers

HVTrust scores Argent 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.
