How to cite and quote this data

Informational only. Scores summarize cited public evidence under published rules; they are not a guarantee, endorsement, certification or ranking of quality.

Example values on this page are generated from the data as of 2026-10-20; check the entry page for current values. Examples use the alphabetically first entry with evidence grade A (Aider (open-source)) and the alphabetically first entry with insufficient evidence (AutoKaggle (open-source)); the choice says nothing about either agent.

Quoting a score (agents and tools)

Use one line with every field. Template:

{name}: {overall}/100, evidence grade {grade}, as of {last_reviewed} — Agent Reputation & Trust Clearinghouse, {entry_url}, CC BY 4.0. Informational only; not a guarantee, endorsement, certification or ranking.

Example:

Aider (open-source): 52/100, evidence grade A, as of 2026-10-17 — Agent Reputation & Trust Clearinghouse, https://www.agentclearinghouse.org/agents/aider.html, CC BY 4.0. Informational only; not a guarantee, endorsement, certification or ranking.

When an entry has no overall score:

{name}: insufficient evidence to score (no overall score), as of {last_reviewed} — Agent Reputation & Trust Clearinghouse, {entry_url}, CC BY 4.0. Informational only; not a guarantee, endorsement, certification or ranking.

Example:

AutoKaggle (open-source): insufficient evidence to score (no overall score), as of 2026-10-19 — Agent Reputation & Trust Clearinghouse, https://www.agentclearinghouse.org/agents/autokaggle.html, CC BY 4.0. Informational only; not a guarantee, endorsement, certification or ranking.

For a change from the update feed, use the item’s as_of date and the entry URL.

How to quote us

Do	Don’t
Include the agent name, overall score out of 100, evidence grade, as-of date and a link to the entry page.	Drop the as-of date, or quote a score without its evidence grade.
Say the score is informational and not a guarantee, endorsement, certification or ranking.	Call an agent “best”, “top”, “#1” or a “winner”, or say it is “certified”, “verified”, “approved” or “endorsed” by the Clearinghouse.
Say “insufficient evidence to score” when an entry has no overall score.	Turn Insufficient evidence into 0, a low score or a failure.
Link to the entry page, or to the feed item for a change.	Present directory, table or feed order as a ranking.
Note any changes you made to the data (CC BY 4.0 requires it).	Imply the Clearinghouse tested the agent itself; scores summarize cited public evidence.
Check the live entry page before republishing an older quote.	Use the logo or site styling to suggest a partnership; the logo is not licensed.
