Agent Validation (agentvalidate)

agentvalidate is a joint product: identity & governance by Regent, behavioral evaluation by RagMetrics. One lookup answers three questions about any AI agent:

1. Who is it — cryptographic identity (RFC 9421 HTTP Message Signatures; both the Web Bot Auth and AAuth dialects).
2. Who answers for it — a KYC-verified human owner who approved it and holds the kill switch.
3. How well does it behave — a RagMetrics evaluation tier (A/B/C), signed into the agent’s passport with an expiry.

How it relates to Regent

Regent Protocol (this documentation) is the financial authorization layer: mandates, authorize-before-execution, anchored audit. Agent Validation applies the same identity and governance machinery to a different question — should this service trust an incoming agent at all — and packages it as a metered trust lookup for SaaS platforms, with policy configured in a console rather than in code. KYA — Know Your Agent — is Regent’s product framework behind both; it is not a formal regulatory standard.
