Know Your Agent

Universal metadata standard for agentic AI trust and compliance

"Just like you need to know the facts about what's in your food before you eat it, you need to know the facts about what's in your agentic AI before you deploy it"

Every enterprise deploying agentic AI systems needs verification, compliance, and governance. AgentFacts™ provides the foundational infrastructure for trusted agentic AI coordination.

What is Agentic AI?

Understanding autonomous AI systems and why they need verified metadata standards for safe enterprise deployment.

Agentic AI Systems Can Act Autonomously

Unlike traditional AI that just responds to prompts, agentic AI can plan, execute, and adapt independently to achieve goals. These systems can make decisions, coordinate with other systems, and take actions without constant human oversight. This autonomy makes verification and governance critical for enterprise deployment.

Traditional AI

Responds to specific prompts and inputs. Limited to the immediate task. Requires human guidance for each step.

Agentic AI

Plans and executes complex workflows. Makes autonomous decisions. Coordinates with other systems and agents.

As agentic AI becomes more capable and autonomous, organizations need standards like AgentFacts™ to verify capabilities, ensure compliance, and maintain governance over these powerful systems.

Agentic AI Technical Foundation

Universal Schema

128-field metadata framework accommodating enterprise, consumer, and government agentic AI requirements with full extensibility.

Cryptographic Verification

Multi-authority trust model with cryptographic signatures eliminating self-declared agentic AI capabilities.

Commerce Infrastructure
