Superagent
Superagent protects your AI applications against prompt injections, data leaks, and harmful outputs. Embed safety directly into your app and prove compliance to your customers.
Is Superagent safe? Thin or incomplete trust evidence. Review carefully before production use.
Compare Superagent
How does it stack up against its Workflow Platforms neighbours?
Pick any agent to compare →In detail: Superagent scores 53.8/100 (Grade C), ranked #839 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 3.6/10; 56% of recent commits are signed; no published advisory affects its latest release (safety-agent); last pushed 2026-08-25. Every point is earned from checkable signals — never paid placement. How scoring works →
How Superagent 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.

- Raise the OSSF Scorecard from 3.6 to 9.0lowest checks: CII-Best-Practices 0, Dependency-Update-Tool 0, Fuzzing 0 +11.3 → 65.1 B · #13 of 26

Chain of custody
Scanners check what the code says. This traces who ships Superagent 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.

Source Partly signed
github.com/superagent-ai/superagent, MIT, last pushed 2026-08-25. 56% of the last 100 commits carry a verified signature; the rest can't be tied to a verified identity.

Verify this score yourself
Every build re-issues Superagent’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.

Quick Trust Read
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 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 →

Is Superagent actively maintained?
What license does Superagent use?
Are Superagent's commits signed?
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
MCP, providers, tool surface
These runtime-trust fields — detected from public repo docs and manifests — contribute a bounded adjustment to this project's HVTrust score alongside supply-chain evidence. The exact values each field can add or subtract are documented in the methodology → Compare this surface across every listed agent in the capability matrix →

Detected changes to Superagent's runtime surface and supply-chain posture, from daily public-signal snapshots. A change here means our detectors see something different — a genuinely changed capability, or better evidence of an existing one.
Maintain Superagent?
For maintainers
HVTrust scores Superagent 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.
