Activity sub-score · out of 100

In Protocols & Tool Integration

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

Public supply-chain signals for CLI-Anything are strong: it has multiple independent trust indicators in place. This does not replace your own security review, but CLI-Anything carries less obvious unverified-evidence risk than projects with thin signals.

Does CLI-Anything publish package provenance?

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

Does CLI-Anything have an OpenSSF Scorecard?

CLI-Anything has an OpenSSF Scorecard score of 3.9/10. 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 CLI-Anything actively maintained?

Maintained. Last push was 13 days ago.

What license does CLI-Anything use?

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

Are CLI-Anything's commits signed?

59% of the last 100 commits to CLI-Anything 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.
