Questions

About Lambda Capture

How do I install Lambda Capture?

No package has been published for this server, so install it from source: clone the repository and follow its README.

Is Lambda Capture safe to use with an AI agent?

Its trust score is 62 out of 100 (good). It passes 3 of the 6 static security checks run so far; the failures are listed above. It has no ConduID identity yet, so agent calls to it are not receipted.

Is Lambda Capture still maintained?

The last commit was a year ago. That's long enough that you should check whether the maintainer is responding to issues before depending on it.
