How this service works
Web bot auth debugging for AI agents, priced per check at $0.01. RFC 7638 keyid thumbprint verification, RFC 9421 Ed25519 signature verification, and per-verifier acceptance rules. Signed attestations, published fixtures, sources with dates.
Output
A signed JSON attestation containing: an ed25519 signature (algorithm, base64 value, key ID), and an attestation body with verdict ('pass'/'fail'), the fetched card URL, card metadata (name, version, interfaces, skill IDs with digests, skill count, card digest), HTTP status, and optionally a comparison result (unchanged/changed vs. the expected digest or skill map).
Example use cases
First-time agent card verification
“Go check the agent card published at https://recipe-bot.example.com and give me a signed witness attestation of its current contents, including the card digest and skill list, so I can pin this as my baseline.”
Detecting skills removed from a known agent
“I pinned this agent's skills last month — the skill map was {"plan-week":"91ac…","find-recipe":"7de0…"}. Can you re-check https://recipe-bot.example.com now and tell me if any skills were added, removed, or changed?”
Continuous agent integrity monitoring
“I need to confirm that the agent at https://partner-agent.mycompany.com still has the same card I approved — its digest was 4c1a…. Fetch it and give me a signed UNCHANGED or CHANGED verdict.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://witness.holoweave.org/v1/agent-card-witnessWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need an independent, cryptographically signed third-party attestation of an AI agent's published identity card — especially for auditing, trust establishment, or change-detection workflows. Prefer it over fetching the agent card yourself when you need tamper-evident proof, when you want to detect capability drift across time using digest comparison, or when downstream systems require a signed witness record rather than a raw HTTP fetch.
Side effects
- Agent card URL is unreachable or returns non-200 status — attestation includes the HTTP status and a failed verdict
- Card JSON is malformed or missing required fields — witness returns an error evidence block
- Expected digest provided but card has changed — verdict is CHANGED rather than UNCHANGED
- Invalid or non-HTTPS URL provided — request rejected with validation error
- Agent card host is behind a bot-blocking rule — fetch may fail or return unexpected content
- Payment of $0.01 USDC not provided or rejected — 402 Payment Required response
