Without building it from source yourself you need to trust the maintainer. Do you?
I feel that this tool with 2.1k stars is kind of looks safe to me.
As far as I can tell the AV vendors who detect it is mostly either ai based or normally aggressive (high amount of false positives in normal operation mode) I just wanted to see the opinions of advanced users here, to be more informed about this tool.
Number of interactions on GitHub is irrelevant to whether you should trust it.
