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. Full methodology →

Is Ponytail safe?
Public trust evidence for Ponytail 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 Ponytail publish package provenance?
No published build provenance is currently detected for Ponytail. This is common for open-source projects but means consumers cannot independently verify that the package on the registry matches the GitHub source.
Does Ponytail have an OpenSSF Scorecard?
No OpenSSF Scorecard data is currently published for Ponytail. 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 Ponytail actively maintained?
Actively maintained. The repository was pushed to within the last 1 day(s).
What license does Ponytail use?
Ponytail ships under MIT. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.
Are Ponytail's commits signed?
61% of the last 100 commits to Ponytail 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.
AI agent surface
Profile context only
HVTrust currently ranks supply-chain and project-integrity trust only. This public view shows a compact AI-agent surface snapshot from repo docs and manifests. These fields are descriptive context and do not affect the production HVTrust rank. An experimental local preview remains available in Score Lab →, and the policy boundary is tracked on the roadmap →

Maintain Ponytail?
HVTrust scores Ponytail 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.
