Before you install Hephaestus
Hephaestus has not been scanned by AgenticMart yet. It has no open-source license we can detect, so it can only be scanned once the maintainer claims it. Until then, here is what it can likely access and what to check before you install it.
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.
Before you install
- 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 Ido-Levi on GitHub, 1,185 stars and 125 forks. Popularity is not proof of safety.
- Last code change: Dec 1, 2025.
- No open-source license detected: check the repository before using it commercially.
