Agent certification · scheme 1.1

Independent certification for one exact version of your AI agent.

We assess one exact version of your agent against a published scheme. A passing agent receives a signed certificate that anyone can check, that expires, and that pauses on its own if the agent changes or fails a re-check.

Create an account What a certificate is

Once you have an account, we walk you through how assessment works and how to connect your agent.

What a certificate is · scheme 1, 13, 18

A dated statement of what was tested, signed so it cannot be altered.

A certificate covers one agent version, identified by its fingerprint. It does not cover other versions, other deployments with the same name, your organisation, or the model underneath. It is not a warranty.

Bound to one version

The fingerprint covers the parts we can see: model and dated version, tools, configuration, Agent Card and package digests. Your system prompt is included only as a sealed fingerprint, never as text.

It expires and can be paused

Verified lasts 30 days and Certified 90 days. A failed re-check, an undeclared change or a missed re-check pauses it within minutes, and every verifier sees the pause.

It shows its working

It states the level and the rule that set it, what was assessed and when, attempts withstood per manipulation type, the standing of each area, any checks not completed, and the validity dates.

How a certificate may be describedWording outside these rules can lead to withdrawal.

Say

Certified: assessed against scheme 2027.1 on 14 Feb 2028 Not broken within 1,000 attempts per manipulation type Certified until 15 May 2028

Never say

Verification · scheme 13.5–13.7

Anyone can check a certificate, and machines can too.

Buyers, marketplaces, partners and other agents can confirm a certificate is genuine, current and for the agent in front of them, without contacting us.

From the agent's own cardWe link the certificate from your agent's A2A Agent Card, so other agents can check it at the point of use.
In the public registryEvery current certificate is listed, with every pause and withdrawal and its reason code. Failed assessments are never listed.
With a live badgeThe badge on your website checks the certificate each time it is shown. A static image of it is never allowed.

The registry, the free verification tool and the badge arrive with the first issued certificates.
