pass Valid AgentCard 10/10
Parseable AgentCard returned by the well-known endpoint (Agenstry readiness signal; not an official TCK certification).
fail Live JSON-RPC 2/25
Card is valid but has no .url field.
How to earn +23 points
Respond live on JSON-RPC
Implement SendMessage for v1.0 (or message/send for v0.x), negotiate A2A-Version, and return a schema-valid JSON-RPC response. Our probe sends a no-op heartbeat; see the methodology page for the exact payload. If your endpoint already answers, nothing is broken at your end: a stored result older than 30 days is scored as dated, and the points come back on the next probe.
Docs →
partial Protocol version 5/10
Declares pre-1.0 A2A 0.3.0 (Google preview). Upgrade to v1.x for full points.
How to earn +5 points
Declare protocolVersion
Add `"protocolVersion": "1.0"` to every entry in `supportedInterfaces[]`. A2A v1.0 removed the AgentCard root field.
Docs →
info JWS signature 0/10
Card is unsigned (most published agents are).
pass Uptime track record 14/15
26/27 probes succeeded (96% uptime).
partial Skill declaration 6/10
Declares 1 skill, usable but thin.
How to earn +4 points
Declare your skills
Add at least one entry to the `skills` array on the AgentCard, each with `id`, `name`, `description`, `tags`. We canonicalise these into the global skill taxonomy on next probe.
Docs →
partial Verified Identity 5/10
Provider declared: Parallel (https://parallel.ai). Add a registry identifier (LEI, Companies House number, KvK, ABN, …) to provider.legalEntity for full verified-business credit.
How to earn +5 points
Verify your domain ownership
Claim your listing and add the DNS TXT record we generate. Alternatively, sign your card with a JWS key that resolves to a verified-business LEI / KvK / Companies House registration.
Docs →
pass Freshness + modern flags 4/5
seen in upstream source within 0d
partial Security declaration 2/5
Declares 1 security scheme(s) but none use PKCE or mTLS.
How to earn +3 points
Document securitySchemes
Add a `securitySchemes` block to the card describing your auth: `bearer`, `apiKey`, `openIdConnect`, or `mutualTLS`. Routers refuse to call agents that declare no auth model.
