Maintainer Checklist
Keep signals currentTrust posture is already in a healthy range. The main job is to keep provenance, maintenance, and public evidence fresh.
How to read this: HVTrust (0–100) weighs supply-chain signals (provenance, OSSF Scorecard, signed commits, open license) alongside real-world adoption. Grade A 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 Vercel AI SDK safe?
Public supply-chain signals for Vercel AI SDK are strong: it has multiple independent trust indicators in place. This does not replace your own security review, but Vercel AI SDK carries less obvious unverified-evidence risk than projects with thin signals.
Does Vercel AI SDK publish package provenance?
Yes. Vercel AI SDK's package releases carry build provenance attestations, which cryptographically link the published package back to its source repository and CI workflow.
Does Vercel AI SDK have an OpenSSF Scorecard?
Vercel AI SDK has an OpenSSF Scorecard score of 7.5/10. 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 Vercel AI SDK actively maintained?
Actively maintained. The repository was pushed to within the last 1 day(s).
What license does Vercel AI SDK use?
Vercel AI SDK ships under NOASSERTION. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.
Are Vercel AI SDK's commits signed?
100% of the last 100 commits to Vercel AI SDK 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 Vercel AI SDK?
HVTrust scores Vercel AI SDK 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.
