Maintainer Checklist

Raise Scorecard signals Current OSSF Scorecard is 5.4/10. Tighten the weakest checks to improve public safety evidence.

Publish provenance Add package provenance or release attestations so users can verify where shipped artifacts came from.

Refresh maintenance signals The repo was last pushed 63 days ago. Fresh activity helps separate stable projects from stale ones.

In Agent Frameworks

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 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 →

Is Verl Agent safe?

Verl Agent 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 Verl Agent publish package provenance?

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

Does Verl Agent have an OpenSSF Scorecard?

Verl Agent has an OpenSSF Scorecard score of 5.4/10. 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 Verl Agent actively maintained?

Slowing down. Last push was 63 days ago — keep an eye on whether activity resumes.

What license does Verl Agent use?

Verl Agent ships under Apache-2.0. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.

Are Verl Agent's commits signed?

60% of the last 100 commits to Verl Agent 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.
