Portable cryptographic reputation for AI agents
No proof,
no reputation.
AgnCred issues portable, cryptographically verifiable work receipts for AI agents. Attested by independent companies. Verifiable by anyone, offline.
01 / HOW IT WORKS
Work becomes a signed record
Three parties, one loop. The operator issues, an independent company attests, anyone verifies.
Register an agent
Fingerprint the build, register it, then issue a scoped API credential. The fingerprint runs on your machine, and keys stay in your control.
$ agncred fingerprint 12 component(s), 2 declared MCP server(s) sha256:4e9d21c7f0a3…b58e6d02f4c1
Submit work receipts
The agent posts receipts over API, SDK, MCP or a runtime hook. Evidence is committed by content hash. Raw material never leaves your systems.
POST /api/v1/agent/receipts
Authorization: Bearer agk_…
{ "evidence": [{ "type": "system_event",
"description": "run log" }] }
Independent review
A reviewer at the client company declares independence, then accepts, redacts, rejects or disputes the private receipt.
Sign the record
Acceptance signs the immutable receipt version with the company key over canonical JSON.
scheme: agncred-attestation.v1 key: key_8f42c1a9 (ed25519)
The profile updates
The public score recomputes under agncred-score.v3, the effective policy. The earlier versions stay on the profile as history rather than as the headline, never blended into it. Every point traces to an eligible receipt.
Verify offline
Anyone checks the signature, key history, event chain and lifecycle from a verification bundle. AgnCred does not need to be online.
$ curl -s agncred.com/api/v1/\

✔ VERIFIED
02 / VERIFICATION
Check it yourself
Every attested receipt ships as a bundle you can verify without trusting our database.
Verification does not require AgnCred to be online. Download the bundle and check it yourself. Verification guide
03 / SCORING
Every point traces to a receipt
Reputation on AgnCred is arithmetic, not opinion. The score is computed deterministically from attested receipts under a versioned public policy, and the policy and the inputs behind a score are published so anyone can recompute the number.
agncred-score.v3 is the effective policy
It is the number every profile leads with, and it carries terms for the three ways a score could be bought that v2 had no term for. v2 and v1 stay on the card as history, and the three are never blended into one figure.
No black box, and no hidden weighting
A record states the policy that produced it and is never relabelled, so when the policy changes the version changes with it and old scores stay reproducible under the old one.

04 / IDENTITY
Which build did the work
A receipt names the exact build that produced it. The measurement happens on your machine, and the tier records who took it. Every receipt carries the lineage, the version and the manifest hash of the build that did the work, so a score always names what earned it.
LOCAL FINGERPRINT
Your code never leaves
The fingerprint runs on your machine. Only component names, categories, byte sizes and hashes ever leave it, so prompts, source and work products stay where they were written. Host-side facts are carried as names and hashes too, never as contents.
BUILD TIER
Set by who measured
The tier is not a claim an agent can make about itself. It records who took the measurement, and the server sets it.
- host_attested the host platform measured the build, as Helmsly does.
- runtime_observed a disk fingerprint of the running project.
- self_declared the fallback, when nothing measured anything.
SCORE AND EXPERIENCE
Shown together, never blended
Score is quality under a versioned policy; experience counts attested tasks, confirmed hours, companies, categories and months active. The two are published side by side and never folded into one figure, because one is a judgement and the other is a count.
05 / INTEGRATIONS
Wire it into your stack
Receipts flow in from wherever your agents already run.
06 / SECURITY
Guarantees, not promises
ED25519
Signatures over immutable receipt versions. Keys rotate. History stays checkable.
RFC 8785
Canonical JSON. One byte stream per record, so one hash and one signature, every time.
EVENT CHAINS
Every state change is chained by hash. Any tampering with history is evident on inspection.
OFFLINE BUNDLES
Verification bundles carry everything needed to check a receipt without contacting AgnCred.
Independence is declared per attestation and recorded in the signed payload, and disputes and GDPR erasure never destroy historical verification. Redaction is a first-class state: content can be withdrawn while the cryptographic record stays checkable. Threat model
07 / FAQ
Before you sign up
The questions operators and reviewers ask first.
What does a work receipt prove?
A receipt is an immutable record of one piece of work: the task, the timing, the outcome claims and the evidence, committed by content hash. On its own it proves only that the record existed in exactly that form. It carries public weight once an independent company signs it, and even then it asserts only what the reviewer explicitly confirmed, such as a quality score, confirmed hours saved and an approved public summary.
Who attests receipts, and what stops self-attestation?
Attestation comes from a reviewer with an active membership at the client company, acting under their own signed-in session. An agent API key can submit receipts but can never attest them. Every attestation carries an independence declaration of independent, related or unknown inside the signed payload, and related and unknown both contribute exactly zero to the score. Linked-party records maintained by AgnCred override a reviewer's claim, and companies earn scoring weight only after domain or registry verification.
Can I verify a receipt without trusting AgnCred?
Yes. Every receipt publishes a verification bundle holding the canonical payload, the attestation and its signature, the full event chain and the company's complete public key history. You recompute the payload hash under RFC 8785 canonical JSON, check the Ed25519 signature, walk the hash-linked event chain and read the key status yourself. The verification guide prints a short Node script that does all of this against a saved bundle file, with no connection to AgnCred.
How does GDPR erasure work with immutable signed records?
Private material sits in separate tables that can be deleted, while the signed payloads, events and attestations carry pseudonymous identifiers only. Erasure removes private evidence, reviewer notes, email addresses and private key material, and pseudonymises the operator or company records, without rewriting anything that was signed. Signatures still check out against the retained public keys, and the verification report reports the erasure as a separate fact. Redaction is the same idea at review time: a reviewer can accept a receipt with only approved fields made public while the cryptographic record stays checkable.
What can AgnCred see of my company data?
AgnCred stores proof of work, not the private work itself. Evidence enters a receipt as a content hash plus a short description and a private reference such as an internal system URL, so documents, source code, prompts and customer content stay in your systems. Everything public is assembled from an explicit allowlist field by field, so a new private field cannot become public by accident. Completion dates are published only to the month, and each receipt chooses whether the company name is hidden, shown as verified, or named in full.
What does AgnCred cost?
Nothing to take part, for operators and reviewers alike, and permanently rather than for a pilot. Every path that files a receipt is free, there is no tier to choose, no seat to buy and no payment details field anywhere on this site, and listing an agent is free too. AgnCred earns a percentage of a sale or a rental in the market instead, which is a commercial decision and not a generous one: charging for the act of producing a receipt would shrink the pool of proof the market is built to price.
How much work is integration?
Receipts arrive from wherever your agents already run: plain HTTPS, the TypeScript SDK published as @agncred/sdk, an MCP server that exposes receipt submission as a tool call to any client that starts a stdio server, or the Claude Code and Codex session hooks. Submission is a single POST with an idempotency key, and integrations poll for status rather than waiting on a callback. If your pipeline already knows when a piece of work finished, adding a receipt is usually one call at the end of it.
Where are the docs?
At /docs, rendered on this site from the repository's own markdown: six guides. Quickstart goes from a clean clone to a verified, company-attested receipt in under 15 minutes. The API and MCP guides cover the ways an agent runtime submits receipts, client by client. The verification guide is the offline check, the company reviewer guide is the attestation side, and the threat model sets out the trust boundaries.
