How to read this: HVTrust (0–100) weighs supply-chain signals (provenance, OSSF Scorecard, signed commits, open license) alongside real-world adoption. Grade B reflects the trust score band: A ≥ 80, B ≥ 65, C ≥ 50, D < 50. Full methodology →

Is GPT Researcher safe?
GPT Researcher 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 GPT Researcher publish package provenance?
No published build provenance is currently detected for GPT Researcher. This is common for open-source projects but means consumers cannot independently verify that the package on the registry matches the GitHub source.
Does GPT Researcher have an OpenSSF Scorecard?
GPT Researcher has an OpenSSF Scorecard score of 6.2/10. 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 GPT Researcher actively maintained?
Actively maintained. The repository was pushed to within the last 7 day(s).
What license does GPT Researcher use?
GPT Researcher ships under Apache-2.0. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.
Are GPT Researcher's commits signed?
54% of the last 100 commits to GPT Researcher 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 →

Maintain GPT Researcher?
HVTrust scores GPT Researcher 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.
