Key Concepts
Publishers
Publishers are developers or organizations who create and maintain Cargos. Every publisher has a tier that determines what they can publish and the resources available to their Cargos.
Trust Levels
Every Cargo has a trust level (0-3) that reflects its verification status. Higher trust levels unlock more capabilities and indicate stronger platform confidence.
Security Scanning
All Cargos undergo automated security scanning before publication. Scans check for vulnerabilities, malware, and policy compliance.
Reputation
Cargos earn reputation based on real-world performance. Success rates, reliability, and user feedback all contribute to a Cargo’s standing.
