Before you install Bifrost
Bifrost has not been scanned by AgenticMart yet. It can get a free automated scan. Until then, here is what it can likely access and what to check before you install it.
What it can access

- Read the tool list or scripts before the first run, and keep approval prompts on for actions that write, send or delete.
- Maintained by maximhq on GitHub, 9,265 stars and 1,499 forks. Popularity is not proof of safety.
- Last code change: Nov 1, 2026.
