Privacy Mode is opt-in for individuals, and the README says Sentry and PostHog may be on in release builds. ## Facts | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Vendor | Traycer AI (https://traycer.ai) | | Kind | Agent harness | | Category | Agent harnesses (https://www.anchorterminal.com/categories/agent-harnesses) | | Auth | None | | Pricing | Free (Free · OSS) · Free and open source.

Nothing installed | | Capabilities | agent.harness, agent.multi-agent | | Tags | open-source, mit, desktop-app, cli, telemetry, new | | JSON | https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/traycer.json | ## Score breakdown (methodology v0.7, October 2026 research run) Assessed 2026-11-07 from public evidence against the published checklist (https://www.anchorterminal.com/benchmark/#checklist). Confidence: low. Performance and Task success pending (no score, not in the total); the total is Σ(score × weight) ÷ 80 over the 7 assessed categories. "This run" is each category's share of the 100 points. | Category | Weight | This run | Score (0–100) | Points | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Reliability | 16% | 20 | 65 | 13.0 | | Performance | 10% | pending | pending | n/a | | Schema & documentation | 13% | 16.2 | 65 | 10.6 | | Agent ergonomics | 13% | 16.2 | 65 | 10.6 | | Security & auth | 14% | 17.5 | 42 | 7.3 | | Payments & pricing | 10% | 12.5 | 30 | 3.8 | | Task success | 10% | pending | pending | n/a | | Maintenance & community | 7% | 8.8 | 75 | 6.6 | | Transparency & trust (editorial 66, provenance 53) | 7% | 8.8 | 60 | 5.2 | | Negative events | up to −15 | up to −15 | none recorded | 0 | | **Total** | | | | **57 → C** | ### Why each score - Reliability 65 (checked 2026-11-07): Local software. Builds for macOS, Linux and Windows, and package-manager publishing workflows (20). test.yml, CodeQL, OpenSSF Scorecard and secret scanning run on the repository; pass state not read (15). GitHub issues and pull requests weren't read (GitHub's pages refuse these sessions), so that line is scored absent (0). CHANGELOG.md (15). Host 1.5.3 (15). 20 + 15 + 0 + 15 + 15 = 65. - Performance: Pending. Latency is measured per call by our probes, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until the first probe window closes. - Schema & documentation 65 (checked 2026-11-07): Harness reading. Mintlify docs, a protocol package and a CLI (65). - Agent ergonomics 65 (checked 2026-11-07): Harness reading. Model switching within an agent, agent-to-agent loops, a CLI and cross-device sync (65). - Security & auth 42 (checked 2026-11-07): Harness reading. Code is processed in memory and not used for training, but Privacy Mode is opt-in for individuals, prompts may be logged with it off, and Sentry and PostHog 'may be enabled in release builds' (10 of 30). No approval model described in the README (8 of 20). No prompt-injection guidance (5). No audit log found (5). SECURITY.md, CodeQL, Scorecard and secret scanning (14 of 20). 10 + 8 + 5 + 5 + 14 = 42. - Payments & pricing 30 (checked 2026-11-07): Scored on the paid option, Traycer's own inference subscription, whose price wasn't read (0 of 20). No protocol (0). Bring-your-own-agent use is free (20). Accounts for sync and teams weren't checked, half (10). 0 + 0 + 20 + 10 = 30. - Task success: Pending. Task success needs the category task suites run through each tool, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until then. A data provider's data-quality score is published on its listing now and becomes half of this category when it's scored. - Maintenance & community 75 (checked 2026-11-07): Commits on 6 November 2026 and host 1.5.3 (30). More than three releases in 90 days (20). GitHub issues and pull requests weren't read (GitHub's pages refuse these sessions), so that line is scored absent (0). Current apps and CLI packages (15). CI with tests (10). 30 + 20 + 0 + 15 + 10 = 75. - Transparency & trust 60 (checked 2026-11-07): MIT (30). README privacy section and a linked privacy policy (not read) (18 of 30). CHANGELOG.md, no deprecation policy (10). Analytics described as 'may be enabled', with no opt-out given in the README (8 of 20). 30 + 18 + 10 + 8 = 66. Fix list, everything this grade says the listing lacks, the biggest gain first (12 items). What it covers is at https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/traycer.md (JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/traycer.json). The whole list for a coding agent comes from `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/fix-list` with `{"listing": "traycer", "plan": "read"}`, free while the beta runs ### What we couldn't check - unchecked: the inference subscription's price, the privacy policy and docs.traycer.ai - Traycer markets itself as a Conductor alternative; the founder's pasted list may be Traycer's own ### Sources - repository README, licence, workflows, tags and docs, shallow clone: (seen 2026-11-07) - lead, the Conductor alternatives list the founder pasted on 7 November 2026, and awesome-agent-orchestrators: (seen 2026-11-07) ## Score history Every move of a score since the listing was graded, newest first, with its cause. A score can't move without an entry here. JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/traycer/history.json - 2026-11-07: graded 57 C (methodology 0.7) ## Who's behind it (provenance 53/100, checked 2026-11-07) | Check | Finding | Points | | --- | --- | --- | | Legal entity named | Traycer AI | 20/20 | | Domain age | traycer.ai, no registry record we could read | 0/15 | | Endpoint on the vendor's domain | no hosted endpoint | n/a | | Terms of service | nothing hosted, so the MIT licence stands in | 10/10 | | Privacy policy | nothing hosted, not scored | n/a | | Status page | not found | 0/10 | | Changelog | published | 10/10 | | security.txt | not found | 0/10 | | People named | not researched yet | n/a | | Support route | not researched yet | n/a | Not looked up: RDAP isn't requested under the 1 November 2026 rules. The licence names Traycer AI. The repository is github.com/traycerai/traycer. ### Terms and privacy, as read A reading by a fixed set of rules, each answered with the vendor's own sentence. Not legal advice. **Terms of service**. Nothing is hosted by the vendor, so there are no terms of service to read. The MIT licence stands in and the check scores in full. **Privacy policy**. Nothing is hosted by the vendor, so there is no privacy policy to read and the check isn't scored. ## Live (updated 2026-11-07 15:59 UTC) - security.txt: none - Watching changelog - Always current: https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/live/traycer.json ## Probe metrics Not measured yet. Our benchmark probes haven't run, so there's no availability, latency or error rate from a run and Performance is pending. Live uptime, where we poll the endpoint, is under Live and doesn't change the score. ## Strengths - Runs agents you already pay for, or Traycer's own inference - Shares context across models and lets agents message each other - macOS, Linux and Windows builds, with package-manager installs - MIT, with CodeQL, Scorecard and secret scanning ## Weaknesses - Privacy Mode is opt-in for individuals; with it off, prompts may be logged - Sentry and PostHog may be enabled in release builds, with no opt-out in the README - Inference subscription price not found on the pages read ## Before you call it (notes for agents) 1. Turn on Privacy Mode if you're an individual user and don't want prompts logged 2. CLI agents you configure send requests straight to their provider; Traycer's own inference goes through Traycer ## Connect Install: ```bash Download for macOS, Linux or Windows from the releases page ``` ## Similar tools Ranked by shared capabilities, then score.

The badge or a plain link to this page verifies the listing, from a page on traycer.ai or one of its subdomains, or the README at the root of github.com/traycerai/traycer. It shows the listing is the vendor's and that the vendor knows it's here, and it never changes a grade, rank or review. The vendor sends the page's address to `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/verify` as `{"slug": "traycer", "url": "…"}`, or calls the `verify_listing` tool at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp.
