Documentation

Your agent dies every session. Its identity doesn't have to.

Give your agent a permanent address, credentials, audit trail, and namespace — everything it needs to operate across sessions.

Verify any agent → Paste a DID or AAT to see the full attestation chain.

Watch the substrate live → Real-time SCITT receipts, trust histogram, signed by AgentLair.

Clone-and-run examples → Three repos: BCC, x402-on-Base, audit-chain dispute resolution.

Permanent address

@agentlair.dev email that survives session restarts.

Permanent credentials

Zero-knowledge vault. Not env vars.

Permanent record

Every action signed, chained, provable.

Permanent namespace

Isolated pods. One per client.

Permanent reputation

Behavioral trust scores across sessions. Observable, not declarative.

Trust earned, not claimed

Every tool call, credential read, and escalation feeds the trust engine. Scores come from the audit trail — not from what an agent says about itself.

Payments are solved. Identity isn't.

Circle, Stripe, and Coinbase now handle x402 nanopayments at 50M+ transactions. None of them answer the follow-on question: which agent made the call, who owns it, and should I trust it? AgentLair's Agent Authentication Token (AAT) is the cryptographic answer — EdDSA-signed, JWKS-verifiable, tethered to a named owner. Identity that travels with every payment.

# Circle / Stripe / Coinbase handle the payment.
# AgentLair answers: which agent sent it?

curl https://agentlair.dev/v1/trust/acc_abc123 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <AAT>"
# → 200 OK: identity verified, trust score 94, owner: hakon@example.com
# → 403: agent unknown — no registered identity, reject or charge more

Top agents this week

50 agents in the directory. Every one scores 0 on behavioral trust (L4). The top scorer hit 45/100 by having a well-formed AgentCard and a working A2A endpoint. Behavioral trust, the kind that builds across sessions from verified actions? Zero, universally. That's the problem AgentLair was built to fix.

Identity that outlasts the session

Agents are stateless by default. AgentLair gives each agent a durable identity layer — address, credentials, record, namespace, and reputation — that persists regardless of where or how often the agent runs.

Permanent address

"Your agent wanted an email. CAPTCHA said no."

Claim @agentlair.dev addresses. Send and receive email via REST API — no SMTP, no CAPTCHA, no browser required. Drafts, threading, and webhooks included.

Permanent credentials

"Your secrets shouldn't live in env vars."

Zero-knowledge credential storage. Your agent encrypts locally, we store opaque blobs. Versioned, recoverable, edge-deployed. Survives container restarts. Agents without persistent credentials fall back to browser automation. Reflex benchmarked the cost: 551k tokens and 17 minutes vs 12k tokens and 20 seconds — same task, same model. The 45x gap isn't a model problem. It's a credential problem.

Permanent record

"Every action signed, chained, provable."

Log every tool call, LLM invocation, and decision to a persistent, queryable audit trail. EdDSA-signed entries — tamper-evident by construction. Verify any attestation receipt in your browser.

Permanent namespace

"Isolated environments that persist."

Multi-tenant isolation via pods. Each pod gets its own API key, email, vault, and audit trail — fully sandboxed per client, persistent across sessions.

Permanent reputation

"Behavioral trust across sessions."

Trust scores computed from observed behavior — consistency, transparency, topic diversity, and activity volume. Four tiers from untrusted to verified. Query via API to gate permissions or surface agent credibility.

Circle built the money pipes for agents. Nobody built the trust layer.

Circle's Agent Stack (agents.circle.com) launched in May 2026 — wallets, nanopayments down to 0.000001 USDC, an agent marketplace, all built on x402. Stripe and Coinbase followed with their own rails. The payment layer is commoditized. Every major agent marketplace ships it now. What none of them answer: which agent made the call, who is its owner, and do I trust it? A review of all 8 major agent marketplaces found zero with trust verification built in. The answer today is git commit metadata. That's the gap. AgentLair issues a cryptographically signed Agent Authentication Token (AAT) per session — EdDSA-signed, JWKS-verifiable at agentlair.dev, tethered to a named human owner. Every action is logged to a tamper-evident ledger. Circle processes the nanopayment. AgentLair tells you who sent it and whether to trust them.

LAYER	HANDLED BY	WHAT IT ANSWERS
Payments	Circle · Stripe · Coinbase	Can the agent spend? How much? Gas-free USDC on-chain in seconds.
Execution	Cloudflare · AWS	Did the agent successfully run? Did it provision the infrastructure?
Identity	AgentLair	Which agent acted? Who owns it? Is it trusted — and can I prove it?

Who deploys AgentLair

Named use cases for the cross-org behavioral trust layer — from autonomous security fleets to regulated agentic commerce.

AUTONOMOUS SECURITY AGENT GOVERNANCE

Govern your security agent fleet

Microsoft MDASH runs 100+ adversarial agents simultaneously. OpenAI Codex Security is GA across Enterprise, Business, and Edu tiers. Neither ships with a behavioral audit trail — or a way to prove scope constraints were honored. AgentLair gives each security agent a cryptographic identity, logs every tool call to a tamper-evident ledger, and surfaces a trust score across sessions. When your pentest agent found CVE-2026-42945, AgentLair can prove what it touched — and what it didn't.

AGENTIC COMMERCE

Know which agent is buying

Circle, Stripe, and Coinbase handle the payment rail. AgentLair answers the identity question above it: is this agent who it claims to be, who owns it, and what's its track record? Gate API access by trust tier — verified agents get lower prices, unknown agents get higher friction. The AAT travels with every request so the seller always knows their buyer.

EU AI ACT COMPLIANCE

Audit artifacts for regulated industries

EU AI Act full enforcement lands August 2026. Every agentic deployment in healthcare, finance, and critical infrastructure needs behavioral accountability infrastructure — not just logs, but tamper-evident records an auditor can independently verify. AgentLair's hash-chained attestation ledger is that artifact. One URL per agent per session, verifiable in a browser.

vs Circle Agent Stack

Wallets, nanopayments, marketplace. No identity layer.

Circle processes the payment. AgentLair tells you who sent it, who owns the agent, and whether to trust them.

vs AgentMail

They give you a permanent address.

We give you a permanent identity.

vs Enterprise IAM

Corporate infra, SSO required.

Internet-native, no org required.

Agents are scaling faster than governance

The adoption-governance gap is not a prediction — it's already measured. Enterprises are deploying agents without the behavioral visibility to know what those agents are actually doing.

74%

of enterprises expect to use AI agents by 2027

n=3,235 across 24 countries

21%

have mature governance in place for those agents

The other 79% are running blind.

FORRESTER

Forrester AEGIS Framework (Aug 2025)

Forrester's enterprise security framework for agentic AI names "least agency" as a core principle — constraining what agents can do based on observed behavior, not claimed intent. Six domains. Thirty-nine controls. The governance layer most enterprises are still missing.

IETF

IETF draft-klrc-aiagent-auth-02 — AIMS Framework

OpenAI · Okta · AWS · Zscaler · Ping Identity

The Agent Identity Management System (AIMS) defines eight requirements for secure AI agent deployment: identifiers, credentials, provisioning, authentication, authorization, observability and remediation, policy, and compliance. AgentLair's architecture maps to the full stack — short-lived EdDSA JWTs for credentials, JWKS verification for authentication, audience-scoped tokens for authorization, and an EdDSA-signed hash-chained behavioral telemetry ledger for observability. AIMS Component 6 (Observability and Remediation) is where AgentLair leads: tamper-evident cross-org audit trails that the standard requires but no other vendor ships at scale.

JPM

J.P. Morgan Payments — Michael Lozanoff, Global Head Merchant Services

"Capability without governance is the next challenge."

Lozanoff describes risk signals shifting from consumer browsing to authenticated agent identity and authorization context — with continuous monitoring required across discovery, checkout, and post-transaction. The core questions he names: Is the agent known? Is it permitted to act? Is it operating within the policy it was given?
