The Agent Trust Index

One number for a hard question: how safe is the agentic web to actually transact on? We fuse three firsthand, read-only measurements into a single score, updated every week. Higher is safer.

n/a / 100
0 to 100, higher is safer. Latest sweep 2026-10-19. Withheld this sweep.

Composite withheld: supply-chain scanner method changed this quarter; its exposure rate is a re-baseline, not a delta, so the composite is withheld until all three pillars share a stable method. The two pillars measured the same way as last quarter are shown below with their deltas.

The three pillars

Code Safety
62.6 / 100
no change wk/wk
37.4% of 2998 swept servers carry a risky code pattern
Identity
26.1 / 100
no change wk/wk
73.9% of network-facing, sensitive servers show no auth in source
Supply Chain
20.6 / 100
no change wk/wk
79.4% of servers ship a runtime dependency with a known advisory

Each pillar is 100 − the share at risk, so a low score means a large share of the population is exposed. The composite is the equal-weighted mean of the three.

What sits behind the score

3,700
servers measured
31/46
high-risk servers unchanged, pre-outreach
3.0M
on-chain agent settlements / month

The score measures whether agents are safe to transact; these measure that they already are transacting. Full data on /security and /data.

The series

The composite, captured every weekly sweep. The question it answers over time: is the agentic web getting safer as it professionalizes, or just bigger?

Methodology & honest caveats

Method v1 (2026-06). Every input is a firsthand, read-only static measurement of the public MCP server population. We never connect to, run, install, or probe a server. Aggregate statistics only; per-repo findings go to maintainers through coordinated disclosure, never into a public list.

Lower bounds. The detectors are tuned for precision over recall, so each pillar is conservative: the true exposure is at least this high. Equal weighting is a deliberate v1 choice, published so it can be argued with and versioned when it changes.
