This section uses the supplied October 2026 ToolVitals scores, health and shipping measures, openness and license labels, descriptions, and GitHub-star counts.
The ranking includes open/source-visible tools only and orders them by ToolVitals score descending, with health and shipping breaking equal composite scores. GitHub stars provide context only and do not determine rank.
