In detail: BabyAGI scores 29.7/100 (Grade D), ranked #1319 of 1371 tracked open-source AI agent projects, on evidence coverage A (4 of 5 independent signal types). The public evidence: no package-provenance attestation found; OSSF Scorecard rates its supply-chain practices 1.2/10; 40% of recent commits are signed; no published advisory affects its latest release (babyagi); last pushed 2026-01-31. Every point is earned from checkable signals — never paid placement. How scoring works →

How BabyAGI could raise its score

Each line changes one public signal and recomputes with the live scoring function. The gains don't add up exactly, because the score is capped near the top.

Chain of custody

Scanners check what the code says. This traces who ships BabyAGI and whether that has changed: from the source repository, through how changes are reviewed and released, to the package you install. These are the checks for OWASP ASI04 Agentic Supply Chain Vulnerabilities.

  1. Source Partly signed

    github.com/yoheinakajima/babyagi, last pushed 2026-01-31. 40% of the last 100 commits carry a verified signature; the rest can't be tied to a verified identity.

  2. Review and release Weak

    OpenSSF Scorecard rates the repository's practices 1.2/10 (scanned Oct 9, 2026). The checks that decide who can get a change released:

    • Code Review0
    • Branch Protection0

  3. Published packages Linked, not attested

    • PyPI babyagi Source link points back to this repo No build attestation

    Without a build attestation, nothing proves the published files were built from this repository.

  4. What you install today No known advisories

    Latest release checked: babyagi 0.1.4. No published advisory affects it (OSV, checked 2026-10-09).

Changes to this chain

No change to package provenance, package source links, Scorecard coverage or license in HVTracker's daily snapshots of BabyAGI.

Evidence behind this score

Coverage A: 4 of 5 independent evidence types found.

  • GitHub repository data
  • Package downloads
  • Supply-chain checks
  • Public actions (missing)
  • Community mentions

Verify this score yourself

Every build re-issues BabyAGI’s score as an Ed25519-signed credential, valid for 7 days. You can check it offline against HVTracker’s published key; if anyone changes a number after signing, verification fails.

What this score doesn’t check

It covers who ships the code, not what the code does. It doesn’t read tool descriptions or prompts for injected instructions, watch runtime behaviour, or find bugs nobody has disclosed yet. For that, run a content scanner before you connect it, such as Cisco MCP Scanner or Snyk Agent Scan.

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 A is separate — it grades how many independent signal types back the score (4 of 5), so a high score on thin evidence stays visible. Full methodology →

Common questions about BabyAGI

Public trust evidence for BabyAGI 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 BabyAGI publish package provenance?
No published build provenance is currently detected for BabyAGI. This is common for open-source projects but means consumers cannot independently verify that the package on the registry matches the GitHub source.
Does BabyAGI have an OpenSSF Scorecard?
BabyAGI has an OpenSSF Scorecard score of 1.2/10. 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 BabyAGI actively maintained?
Stale. The repository has not been pushed to in 251 days. Consider whether the project is still being maintained.
What license does BabyAGI use?
BabyAGI ships under no SPDX license detected. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.
Are BabyAGI's commits signed?
40% of the last 100 commits to BabyAGI 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 BabyAGI?

For maintainers

HVTrust scores BabyAGI 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.
