Trust breakdown (6 categories)

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score →

Supply Chain Security87

No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (95 of 99), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (95 of 99), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. View diagnostics → Partial
