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 8/10
Declares A2A 1.0 but missing supportedInterfaces[] (required in v1.0, update your card to reach 10/10).
How to earn +2 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.
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` — `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: ToolScout (https://trytoolscout.org/). 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.
