Is ouroboros safe? ouroboros scores 20.5/100 (Grade D), ranked #1056 of 1308 tracked open-source AI agent projects, on evidence coverage D (1 of 5 independent signal types). The public evidence: no package-provenance attestation found; no OSSF Scorecard result yet; 19% of recent commits are signed; last pushed 2026-08-19. Every point is earned from checkable signals — never paid placement. How scoring works →

Maintainer Checklist
Add Scorecard coverage Expose the repository to OpenSSF Scorecard checks so supply-chain posture is easier to verify.
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.

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 ouroboros safe?

Public trust evidence for ouroboros 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 ouroboros publish package provenance?
No published build provenance is currently detected for ouroboros. This is common for open-source projects but means consumers cannot independently verify that the package on the registry matches the GitHub source.
Does ouroboros have an OpenSSF Scorecard?
No OpenSSF Scorecard data is currently published for ouroboros. 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 ouroboros actively maintained?
Actively maintained. The repository was pushed to within the last 1 day(s).
What license does ouroboros use?
ouroboros ships under MIT. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.
Are ouroboros's commits signed?
19% of the last 100 commits to ouroboros 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 ouroboros?

For maintainers

HVTrust scores ouroboros 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.
