Is A2A / Agent2Agent Protocol safe?

Public supply-chain signals for A2A / Agent2Agent Protocol are strong: it has multiple independent trust indicators in place. This does not replace your own security review, but A2A / Agent2Agent Protocol carries less obvious unverified-evidence risk than projects with thin signals.
Does A2A / Agent2Agent Protocol publish package provenance?
Yes. A2A / Agent2Agent Protocol's package releases carry build provenance attestations, which cryptographically link the published package back to its source repository and CI workflow.
Does A2A / Agent2Agent Protocol have an OpenSSF Scorecard?
A2A / Agent2Agent Protocol has an OpenSSF Scorecard score of 7.0/10. 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 A2A / Agent2Agent Protocol actively maintained?
Actively maintained. The repository was pushed to within the last 1 day(s).
What license does A2A / Agent2Agent Protocol use?
A2A / Agent2Agent Protocol ships under Apache-2.0. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.
Are A2A / Agent2Agent Protocol's commits signed?
99% of the last 100 commits to A2A / Agent2Agent Protocol 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.

Runtime trust — coming soon

HVTrust currently scores supply-chain signals. We're adding runtime trust next: what an agent actually does when it runs — what it can reach, which tools it carries, what external services it depends on. Track progress on the roadmap →

  • MCP support
  • Tool / plugin surface
  • External service deps
  • Package provenance drift

Maintain A2A / Agent2Agent Protocol?

HVTrust scores A2A / Agent2Agent Protocol 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.
