Agent Framework Reliability Leaderboard
A mechanical governance score for the 27 most-used autonomous-agent frameworks. Every score is the output of agent-contracts scan against a clean clone — no vibes, no testimonials, no self-reported numbers.

Scores are intentionally harsh: a missing dimension earns zero. The scanner measures observable governance surface (tests/CI, tool gating, secret hygiene, dependency pinning, eval harness, observability, resilience) — not runtime safety. A high score means the guardrails a reliable agent needs are present, not that the agent is provably safe.
Reproduce any score
pip install "agent-contracts @ git+https://github.com/impartshadow/agent-contracts.git" git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>.git agent-contracts scan --root <repo> --json
Shallow clone is sufficient — the scanner reads the working tree at HEAD and skips .git, so depth-1 and a full clone produce identical scores.
Embed your live badge
Every indexed framework has a self-updating governance-score badge — a static shields.io endpoint served from this page. Embed it once; it re-renders the current score on every scan, no re-publish on your side.
