Conformance score: 48/100
D-grade: significant issues — auth-gated, partially broken, or stale.

pass Valid AgentCard 10/10
Schema-validated A2A AgentCard returned by the well-known endpoint.
fail Live JSON-RPC 5/25
Endpoint replies but body isn't a valid JSON-RPC 2.0 A2A response.
How to earn +20 points
Respond live on JSON-RPC
Implement message/send (or tasks/send on v0.x). Return a 200 with a valid JSON-RPC response. Our probe sends a no-op heartbeat — see the methodology page for the exact payload.
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 the AgentCard root. Without it, callers can't negotiate v0.x vs v1.0 compatibility.
Docs →
info JWS signature 0/10
Card is unsigned (most published agents are).
fail Uptime track record 7/15
23/51 probes succeeded (45% uptime).
How to earn +8 points
Stabilise uptime
We probe every agent on a tiered schedule. Sustained 99 %+ uptime over 20+ checks scores full points. Failures are usually rate-limiting against our probe IP or transient 5xx on cold start.
Docs →
pass Skill declaration 10/10
Declares 10 skills with structured metadata.
partial Verified Identity 5/10
Provider declared: The Colony (https://thecolony.cc). 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.
