SmolAgents
Lightweight AI agent development framework for rapid creation of powerful agents
🛡️ AgentReady threat assessment
MAESTRO 7-layer threat model + OWASP AIVSS risk score for SmolAgents, derived from its capabilities.
These scores are auto-generated from public information (the agent's own listing, docs, and repository) using the canonical OWASP AIVSS formula and the MAESTRO framework — an estimate for guidance, not a penetration test, audit, or certification. See the scoring methodology — every score is re-derived by the same automated method as an agent's public evidence changes.
Overview
SmolAgents is a lightweight intelligent agent library developed by Hugging Face, focusing on simplifying the AI agent system development process.
