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. Full methodology →

Is LightRAG safe?

Public supply-chain signals for LightRAG are strong: it has multiple independent trust indicators in place. This does not replace your own security review, but LightRAG carries less obvious unverified-evidence risk than projects with thin signals.
Does LightRAG publish package provenance?
Yes. LightRAG's package releases carry build provenance attestations, which cryptographically link the published package back to its source repository and CI workflow.
Does LightRAG have an OpenSSF Scorecard?
LightRAG 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 LightRAG actively maintained?
Actively maintained. The repository was pushed to within the last 1 day(s).
What license does LightRAG use?
LightRAG ships under MIT. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.
Are LightRAG's commits signed?
24% of the last 100 commits to LightRAG 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 LightRAG?

HVTrust scores LightRAG 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.
