## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 81/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-03T02:20:16.233290+00:00)
- activity 99, release rhythm 98, longevity 13
- inputs: {"age_days": 182, "days_push": 9, "days_rel": 17, "gap_med": 0, "n_releases_24m": 10}
- flags: no_license
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
Valqore is a deterministic infrastructure governance engine that scans Kubernetes manifests, Terraform, Helm, and cloud resources against 1,428 built-in rules spanning security, cost, carbon, compliance, and AI governance, returning a 0-100 score and a PASS/BLOCK verdict. It runs locally via Docker (read-only, air-gap capable) and ships as a CLI, Kubernetes admission controller, VS Code extension, and MCP tool server for gating AI agent actions.

## Use cases
- scan kubernetes manifests for security misconfigurations before deploy
- check terraform plans against compliance packs like SOC2 or HIPAA
- gate AI agent infrastructure changes with human approval
- estimate cloud cost and carbon footprint of IaC changes
- enforce policy in CI/CD pipelines with pass/block verdicts
- detect manual cloud drift and attribute who made it
- audit AI workloads and agents for EU AI Act compliance

## When to choose
- you want one tool combining IaC security scanning, cost, carbon, and compliance checks instead of stitching together Checkov, Kubecost, and Kyverno
- you need deterministic, reproducible verdicts for CI gates or auditors
- you must gate autonomous AI agent actions on production infrastructure
- you need air-gapped or zero-egress scanning for regulated environments

## When to avoid
- you need deep vulnerability scanning of container images or dependencies (Trivy-style CVE databases)
- you want a managed SaaS dashboard with score trending out of the box (enterprise-only)
- you need runtime threat detection or write-access remediation - Valqore is strictly read-only
