AgentOS scores 75.8 (BB) on agent readiness against LlamaIndex Framework's 70 (BB), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Both do agent frameworks.

- AgentOS: BB 75.8, rank #52 of 1510 · https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/agentos.min.md
- LlamaIndex Framework: BB 70, rank #217 of 1510 · https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/llamaindex.min.md
- AgentOS, good for TypeScript teams that want long-term memory, personas, voice and channel adapters and multi-agent teams in one package, and that will pin versions. Ahead on Reliability, 77 against 70; Schema & documentation, 92 against 85; Security & auth, 81 against 74; Maintenance & community, 87 against 69. Also Free to start without a card.
- LlamaIndex Framework, good for Python teams building retrieval-heavy agents over their own data, with many connectors. Also No key needed to call it.

Why the edge:
- Maintenance & community, AgentOS +18: AgentOS 87 (0.15.69 tagged on 2026-10-31 (30). 333 release tags in the 90 days to 1 November and 95 after 0.14.2, read from the repository because npm didn't resolve from the shell (20). Little outside traffic to judge by. Of 244 commits since 17 October, all but four are by the maintainer. Per the 8 October check, not re-read on 1 November, two outside issues were closed with five comments each and one outside suggestion had been open without a reply since 12 September (15). The npm package is current by its tags, though the registry couldn't be read on 1 November (15). CI and coverage run on every push, but the workflows have no `npm audit` step and the repository has no Dependabot configuration file. The security page says Dependabot alerts are on in the repository settings, which we can't see (7).); LlamaIndex Framework 69 (llama-index-core 0.14.25 on 21 September 2026, 46 days before this check (20). Two core changelog entries in the 90 days (19 August and 21 September), with integration packages and Workflows (2.24.1 to 2.26.1) publishing in between, so partial (12). 379 open issues and 1,291 open issues and pull requests on 6 November, with 241 issues opened in the 90 days to 3 November. Of the 50 newest, 28 had a comment and 3 were closed; a stale bot and an issue classifier run on the repository (12). Core, Workflows and integrations are current (15). CI and CodeQL passing on main and a stale-package policy that moves unmaintained integrations out of main (10). 20+12+12+15+10 = 69.)
- Reliability, AgentOS +7: AgentOS 77 (Official npm package with Node 22 or newer stated in package.json on 1 November (20). A public CI workflow builds, lints, type-checks and runs the tests with coverage, and the 12 most recent runs on master on 8 October 2026 passed, per the 8 October check, not re-read on 1 November (25). 16 open issues and pull requests in total, most filed by the maintainer, with one outside suggestion from 12 September unanswered, per the 8 October check, not re-read on 1 November (20). Written release rules give a breaking change a minor version, and a workflow fails a pull request with a breaking-change marker unless a maintainer approves it, but feature commits ship as patches and breaking minors 0.11.0 and 0.12.0 (7 October), 0.13.0 (8 October), 0.14.0 (17 October) and 0.15.0 (21 October, two persona changes marked BREAKING CHANGE) landed within two weeks (12). Version 0.15.69, not declared stable (0). Local-software reading.); LlamaIndex Framework 70 (Local-package reading. Official PyPI packages with Python 3.10 to below 4.0 (20). Public unit-test, type-check, lint, coverage and CodeQL workflows, with the type-check, lint and CodeQL runs on main passing on 3 November (25). 379 open issues and 1,291 open issues and pull requests on 6 November, with 241 issues opened in the 90 days to 3 November. Of the 50 newest, 28 had a comment and 3 were closed; a stale bot and an issue classifier run on the repository (12). A dated, generated changelog per package, but core is 0.x and minors such as 0.13 and 0.14 carried breaking changes (8). Core isn't 1.0; Workflows is at 2.x, so partial (5). 20+25+12+8+5 = 70.)
- Schema & documentation, AgentOS +7: AgentOS 92 (Typed TypeScript API with a TypeDoc reference (25). llms.txt on agentos.sh and docs.agentos.sh (10). The guides say which surface to reach for, for example agency-level approval for most apps and workflow nodes for an explicit graph, and the tool-forging docs state what each executor does not isolate (16). Tools take Zod schemas (15). 22 runnable examples and a cookbook, with CLI error codes documented but no single page for the library's error classes found (11). Release notes are generated for every release and published as GitHub releases under written version rules. The CHANGELOG.md on master still stops at 0.13.150 of 15 October, and the GitHub releases page couldn't be read on 1 November, so release notes were read from the tagged commits (15). Framework reading.); LlamaIndex Framework 85 (Framework reading. A typed Python API with a generated reference (22). llms.txt indexing the framework docs, plus a docs search API and an MCP server for the docs (10). The agents guide says what each agent class is for, and the MCP page lists the three ways to use MCP (15). Tools are typed from function signatures and Pydantic models (13). Many examples and notebooks, few documented error types (10). Dated changelog (15). 22+10+15+13+10+15 = 85.)
- Security & auth, AgentOS +7: AgentOS 81 (No analytics or telemetry code found in the source, and the privacy and security pages say the runtime sends nothing to the vendor. OpenTelemetry is off by default and the host installs the exporter (30). Approval gates on five triggers, five security tiers and a rule that composed tools chain a side-effecting step only when the host lists it. Agent-written code runs by default in an in-process node:vm context with a 5-second limit and no memory cap, off unless the host enables it. An optional QuickJS executor runs each call in its own WebAssembly instance with a memory cap. No gate is on unless configured (17). SECURITY.md names model output, tool results and retrieved content as untrusted input, and injection detection is an opt-in extension pack. The security page says that pack's default ONNX model has no prompt-injection label, so injection is scored only when that model can't load, and points to a phrase-list guard (11). OpenTelemetry spans, a usage ledger, a reasoning trace and an opt-in signed audit log (15). SECURITY.md with a private advisory form, acknowledgement in 5 business days and disclosure at 90 days, and the site's security page now gives the same times. No security.txt, no bounty and no published advisory found (8). Framework reading.); LlamaIndex Framework 74 (Framework reading (telemetry defaults, approvals, guardrails, sandboxing). No telemetry found in llama-index-core (25). Human-in-the-loop events in Workflows and agents can wait for a person, but there's no per-tool approval primitive and CodeActAgent's executor is the developer's to supply (12). The threat model puts input validation on the application, with no prompt-injection guidance in the agent pages (5). Instrumentation events and callback handlers for tracing (14). A huntr bug bounty, GitHub private reporting and public advisories with fixed versions (18). 25+12+5+14+18 = 74.)
