Trust Score
Definition
A quantitative assessment of an agent tool's reliability, security, interoperability, and documentation quality — aggregated into a single composite score that helps developers evaluate and compare tools. Trust scores are typically computed from multiple dimensions: community adoption (stars, downloads, contributors), security posture (vulnerability history, auth practices), documentation quality (completeness, accuracy, examples), interoperability (protocol support, standard compliance), and operational track record (uptime, breaking changes). Agentifact computes trust scores across 5 dimensions weighted by importance to production agent builders.
Builder Context
Use trust scores as a starting filter, not a final decision. A high trust score means the tool is well-documented, actively maintained, and has good security practices — but it doesn't guarantee it's the right tool for your specific use case. Always verify: (1) does it support the protocols your agent uses? (2) does it handle your specific data types and volumes? (3) is the pricing model sustainable for your scale? Trust scores are most useful for comparing tools in the same category when you have multiple viable options.
