What do the risk levels low, moderate, elevated and high mean?

risk is a coarse label that comes with every verdict. It is one of low, moderate, elevated or high. Lower risk goes with a higher honesty score.

Where you see it

  • In API responses, as verdict.risk.
  • In the CLI output, as the Risk: line.
  • In MCP tool results, inside verdict.

How to use it

Use risk for a quick read, such as a colored badge. Use score when you need a line to act on, such as a CI threshold.

ClearRun does not publish the score ranges behind each label. Don't build logic that assumes a fixed cutoff.

What it is not

It is not a measure of whether the answer is true. A low risk answer can still be wrong.
