[composio](https://docs.composio.dev) reports 30k GitHub stars, 4.8k forks, and 86 open issues, last pushed Sep 18, 2026. [stackql](https://stackql.io/) has 991 stars, 86 forks, and 103 open issues, last pushed Sep 20, 2026.

If you are working exclusively with languages other than TypeScript or Python. If you do not require pre-authenticated toolkits and prefer manual setup. If you need a more specialized workbench that is not sandboxed. If you are looking for a solution that does not integrate with specific providers like OpenAI Agents or Claude Agent SDK. ### When should I avoid stackql? - If your environment strictly enforces language-specific tools and you are already heavily invested in a toolset built outside of Go - In scenarios where SQL-based querying does not align with the team's workflow or expertise, preferring more direct API-style interactions instead ### Is composio or stackql more popular on GitHub? composio has more GitHub stars (30,228 vs 991). Stars measure visibility, not whether either tool fits your constraints. ### Are composio and stackql open source? Yes - both are open-source projects on GitHub (composio: MIT, stackql: MIT). ### Where can I find alternatives to composio or stackql? GraphCanon lists graph-backed alternatives at [composio alternatives](/tools/composiohq-composio/alternatives) and [stackql alternatives](/tools/stackql-stackql/alternatives) ([composio markdown twin](/tools/composiohq-composio/alternatives.md), [stackql markdown twin](/tools/stackql-stackql/alternatives.md)), ranked by typed relationship edges rather than popularity votes. ### Is there a machine-readable version of this comparison? Yes. The markdown twin at [this comparison](/compare/composiohq-composio-vs-stackql-stackql.md) mirrors this page for agents and LLM crawlers, with the same stats table and FAQ answers. ### Which is better maintained, composio or stackql? composio: Very active. stackql: Very active. Compare maintenance labels, days since push, and release cadence in the trust section below - stars alone do not measure maintenance. ### Where are the full trust reports for composio and stackql? GraphCanon publishes per-repo trust reports with dated maintenance, provenance, and scan summaries: [composio trust report](/tools/composiohq-composio/trust); [stackql trust report](/tools/stackql-stackql/trust). --- **Machine-readable endpoints** - JSON: [`/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=composiohq-composio`](/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=composiohq-composio) - LLM index: [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) - Full corpus: [/llms-full.txt](/llms-full.txt) _GraphCanon - The knowledge graph for AI development. https://www.graphcanon.com/_
