vaaraio / vaara

Accountable Autonomy: open-source evidence layer that gates every AI agent tool call against your policy and writes a hash-chained record an auditor verifies offline, without trusting you. Root-agnostic; binds to TPM 2.0 / SEV-SNP when present. Your environment, no SaaS, no telemetry. AGPL-3.0.

vaaraio/vaara holds a health index of 88 out of 100, placing it in the Excellent band. It scores highest on AI Readiness (92/100) and lowest on Sustainability & Governance (51/100). It was last updated today. A single contributor accounts for most of its recent work.

Software health index

Metrics are grouped into weighted categories on one standardized 1–100 scale. Overall starts as their weighted mean, calibrated against the distribution of the public record so bands carry percentile meaning; when public evidence triggers the High-Risk Jurisdiction Policy, the rating is adjusted and receives an At Risk ceiling of 34.

Score profile

Each axis is a category. The shape matters more than the average — a healthy subject fills the whole shape, while a spike-and-crater profile means strength in one dimension is masking risk in another.

The weighted overall 74 is calibrated to 88 on the published index scale (record calibration 2026-08-02).

AI Readiness

Dependency advisories 0

Installing pypi:vaara@2.15.0 pulls in 5 packages, direct and transitive: 0 carry known advisories, of which 0 are direct dependencies.

No known advisories affect the assessed dependencies.

An advisory means the version recorded in the dependency graph falls inside an advisory’s affected range. Reachability is not analysed, and the graph includes development and test pins — a finding may concern tooling rather than shipped software.
