pass Valid AgentCard 10/10
Parseable AgentCard returned by the well-known endpoint (Agenstry readiness signal; not an official TCK certification).
pass Live JSON-RPC 25/25
Endpoint responds to a negotiated A2A SendMessage probe.
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"` (Major.Minor, no patch number — §3.6) 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).
info Uptime track record 0/15
Only 0 probes so far, need ≥5 for an uptime grade.
fail Skill declaration 0/10
No skills declared in card. Hard to route to.
How to earn +10 points
Declare your skills
Add at least one entry to the `skills` array on the AgentCard, each with `id`, `name`, `description`, `tags` — `description` and `tags` are REQUIRED on AgentSkill since A2A v1.0, and tags are what discovery filters match on. We canonicalise these into the global skill taxonomy on next probe.
Docs
partial Verified Identity 5/10
Provider declared: The Agent Forge (https://theagentforge.io/). 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
info Security declaration 0/5
Neither securitySchemes nor securityRequirements declared — how to authenticate is unstated.
