In Multi-Agent Systems

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 squad safe?

squad 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 squad publish package provenance?

No published build provenance is currently detected for squad. This is common for open-source projects but means consumers cannot independently verify that the package on the registry matches the GitHub source.

Does squad have an OpenSSF Scorecard?

squad has an OpenSSF Scorecard score of 5.1/10. 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 squad actively maintained?

Actively maintained. The repository was pushed to within the last 2 day(s).

What license does squad use?

squad ships under MIT. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.

Are squad's commits signed?

65% of the last 100 commits to squad 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 squad?

For maintainers

HVTrust scores squad 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.
