In detail: TruLens scores 47.3/100 (Grade D), ranked #1042 of 1371 tracked open-source AI agent projects, on evidence coverage B (3 of 5 independent signal types). The public evidence: no package-provenance attestation found; no OSSF Scorecard result yet; 100% of recent commits are signed; no published advisory affects its latest release (trulens-core); last pushed 2026-10-09. Every point is earned from checkable signals — never paid placement. How scoring works →

How TruLens 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.

Chain of custody

Scanners check what the code says. This traces who ships TruLens 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.

  1. Source Signed

    github.com/truera/trulens, MIT, last pushed 2026-10-09. 100% of the last 100 commits carry a verified signature, so changes trace to a verified account.

  2. Review and release Not checked

    No OpenSSF Scorecard result yet, so branch protection, code review and release signing are unverified.

  3. Published packages Linked, not attested

    • PyPI trulens-core Source link points back to this repo No build attestation

    Without a build attestation, nothing proves the published files were built from this repository.

  4. What you install today No known advisories

    Latest release checked: trulens-core 2.15.0. No published advisory affects it (OSV, checked 2026-10-09).

Changes to this chain

No change to package provenance, package source links, Scorecard coverage or license in HVTracker's daily snapshots of TruLens.

Evidence behind this score

Coverage B: 3 of 5 independent evidence types found.

  • GitHub repository data
  • Package downloads
  • Supply-chain checks (missing)
  • Public actions (missing)
  • Community mentions

Verify this score yourself

Every build re-issues TruLens’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.

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 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 →

Common questions about TruLens

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

For maintainers

HVTrust scores TruLens 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.
