AgentAvow Overview
AgentAvow/AgentAvow exposes read-only MCP tools for evaluating whether tools, MCP servers, packages, and skills are safe for an AI agent to connect to. Scans return a verdict, reason, 0–100 trust score, adoption score, category findings, and a signed attestation that can be verified offline. The hosted endpoint uses unauthenticated Streamable HTTP, while the `agentavow-trust` package provides a local installation. Reach for it when agent connections need preflight checks, change monitoring, or automated blocking in CI.
Primary Use Cases for AgentAvow:
- Scan an MCP server before adding it to an agent
- Block CI merges when a dependency receives a Do not connect verdict
- Verify trust attestations offline in a gateway
- Monitor tool definitions for rug-pull changes
