How this item is evaluated
RepoRadar assigned openguardrails/agentfw a composite score of 8.4 out of 10, placing it in the Gold tier. This score combines weighted sub-signals: usefulness (35%), novelty (18%), momentum (14%), maturity (10%), open-source/build quality (7%), evidence quality (6%), workflow potential (6%), and setup ease (4%). Popularity is tracked separately at 78.0 and never affects the composite score or tier. The risk label of 'conditional' reflects inherent user-impacting hazards, not generic novelty. Items with no risk flag may still require normal code review before production use.

Risk explanation
agentfw is a security chokepoint — run it carefully during upgrades and pin versions, since a misconfigured proxy can drop or rewrite legitimate traffic.
