Maintainer Checklist
Raise Scorecard signals Current OSSF Scorecard is 3.6/10. Tighten the weakest checks to improve public safety evidence.
Increase signed commits Raise the share of verified-signed commits to make maintainer identity and release history easier to trust.
Refresh maintenance signals The repo was last pushed 70 days ago. Fresh activity helps separate stable projects from stale ones.

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 Khoj safe?

Khoj 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 Khoj publish package provenance?
Yes. Khoj's package releases carry build provenance attestations, which cryptographically link the published package back to its source repository and CI workflow.
Does Khoj have an OpenSSF Scorecard?
Khoj has an OpenSSF Scorecard score of 3.6/10. 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 Khoj actively maintained?
Slowing down. Last push was 70 days ago — keep an eye on whether activity resumes.
What license does Khoj use?
Khoj ships under AGPL-3.0. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.
Are Khoj's commits signed?
16% of the last 100 commits to Khoj 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 Khoj?

HVTrust scores Khoj 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.
