Before you install Genkit

What it can access
- An AI agent decides its own next steps and calls whatever tools you give it, so its risk depends on the access you grant.
- Based on its description and topics, it likely needs to connect to a database.
Before you install
- Give it a read-only database user unless it must write.
- Pin the version you reviewed instead of always installing the latest release.
- Read the tool list or scripts before the first run, and keep approval prompts on for actions that write, send or delete.
- Maintained by genkit-ai on GitHub, 6,562 stars and 875 forks. Popularity is not proof of safety.
- Last code change: Nov 1, 2026.
- Open-source license: Apache-2.0.
