Publisher unconfirmed: the evidence below is shown but not counted in the governance score, because nothing yet ties this listing to Google beyond repository or Hub account ownership. A vendor-domain page, marketplace listing, ARD manifest or A2A card would confirm it.

Evidence available — not a safety certification. Suitability depends on your task, deployment and permissions. Rows marked vendor-level describe Google, not this agent specifically.

"Unknown" means nothing was found in the sources checked — registries, marketplaces and the vendor's own pages. It is not a finding of non-compliance; ask the vendor.

A vendor-level registry entry proves the organisation was assessed; whether this agent is inside that scope is a question for the vendor. These rows do not count toward the agent's evidence tier.

Raw component / maximum, then weighted by the technology profile (adoption 30, trust 20, project 20, ecosystem 15, domain 10, governance 0, docs 5). Trust and governance are computed from the evidence on this page (vendor-level rows at half credit); the other components come from the curated workbook, whose order is the rank. Unknown components count as 0 and are never imputed.

Before you deploy

Derived from the evidence ledger. This agent is not yet in the reference set, so deployment questions (credentials, approval, data handling) are not answered here — ask the vendor.

Evidence supporting this use (2)
CSA STAR STAR Level 2 — registry-matched, vendor-level source
FedRAMP High — registry-matched, vendor-level source
Unknowns to check (4)
Your lawful basis and DPIA for PHI and personal data the agent will touch
Current FedRAMP status with the agency, if government use is intended
Whether the CSA STAR entry covers this product; Level 1 is a self-assessment, Level 2 a third-party attestation
Ask the vendor for SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001 evidence; none was found in the sources checked
Suggested restrictions for a pilot (2)
Ask for the SOC 2 report under NDA before the pilot touches customer data; none was found in the sources checked.
A public trace shows data leaving the environment under adversarial input. Confirm the vendor's fix is in the version you deploy, and keep an egress allowlist around the agent during the pilot.

Rules: config/deploy_rules.json. Advice for a bounded pilot, not a verdict.
