Taken from the project's README on GitHub. Check the security audit before running it.

Security audit verdict: CAUTION · quality 56/100

Flagged: sudo usage. Scanned against 42 published rules built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, refreshed every 8 hours. Full audit →

The quality score combines nine heuristic checks of the repo and its README: completeness, clarity, specificity, examples, structure, agent readiness, step-by-step content, instruction quality and security notes. It rates how well the project explains itself to an agent, not the code.

About localharness

LocalHarness Run AI agents on the models you already run locally. LocalHarness does not serve models. It sits on top of the one you already serve — vLLM, llama.cpp, Ollama, or LM Studio — and gives it real agents: tools, memory, and permissions, written in YAML instead of Python. Point it at any OpenAI-compatible endpoint and the same agent runs.

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy: 42 published rules, covering credential harvesting, data exfiltration, curl | sh installers and more. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.

The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
