Agent Trust — local inspection

Find out what the agents on this machine can reach.

ECZ-ID Agent Trust is local-first agent inventory, authority and change inspection, in your editor. It reads what is already on the machine and reports it to you.

It inspects locally and reports to you. It is not a Passport, it issues nothing, and it publishes nothing about you.

What it inspects

Three questions about a machine you already own.

Not three features. Three questions that are individually easy to answer and collectively almost never answered, because answering them by hand is dull and nothing forces it.

Inventory

What agent software is present on this machine at all.

Almost nobody can answer this from memory. Agents arrive one at a time, from different people, for different reasons, and the list nobody wrote down is the list nobody reviews.

Authority

What those agents have been given access to.

Authority is the part that drifts quietest. It gets granted once, usually in a hurry, to get something working — and then it is never re-read, because nothing prompts anyone to re-read it.

Change

What is different since the last time you looked.

A one-off audit answers a question on a Tuesday. Change inspection is what keeps that answer meaning something on the Friday after somebody installed one more thing.

The hub is the authority on scope

This page describes the axis, not a feature list. Exactly what the current build reads, and exactly what it reports, is documented on the public hub — which is also where a version number, an editor listing and an install route belong. None of those is published here, deliberately, because a marketing page that pins them becomes wrong without anyone noticing.

The boundary that matters

It reports to you. It does not report you.

Every other product in this estate ends with something published. This one does not, and the difference is the point rather than a limitation.

Local-first, and the operator is the audience

It reads what is already present on the machine and shows it to the person sitting at it. The output is a reading for you to act on, in your editor, on your terms.

It issues nothing

No ECZ-ID, no Passport, no Credential, no badge and no record comes out of it. Running it creates no identity, and never has.

It publishes nothing about you

Nothing it reads becomes a public record, a score, a rating or a directory entry. There is no resolver page for a machine, and inspecting one produces nothing that anybody else can look up.

It is not a verdict either

An inventory tells you what is there. What an agent should have access to, and what to do about it, is a question about your environment. ECZ-ID tells you what is published and by whom. What that is worth in your context is your policy's decision, not ours.

Three axes, not one ladder

Where this sits next to the Passport and the Credential.

These are the three most confusable offers on the property, because all three are about agents. They move different things and produce different artefacts, and none of them is a step towards another.

An Agent Passport is not an Agent Credential. The Passport is identity: who this agent is, who operates it, and what is published about it. A Credential is a separate, specialist strengthening product with its own evidence and its own scope. Agent Trust is neither of those two: it is a reading of a machine, not a statement about an agent, and it never becomes one.

Where it lives

The public hub is the front door.

One address, maintained by the people who ship it, rather than a description here that ages.

ECZ-ID Agent Trust on GitHub

The official public hub. Current scope, how to get it, and what it does today are documented there and nowhere else.

What this page will not tell you

No extension identifier, no marketplace listing, no version number and no install command. Those are properties of a shipping build, and this is not the surface that ships it. Follow the hub and you will always have the current answer.

Inspecting a machine and publishing an identity are different jobs.

Agent Trust tells you what is on your side of the line. A Passport is what someone on the other side of it can resolve. Doing either one never obliges you to do the other.

Your ECZ-ID does not change. Nothing on this page moves an identifier, a record or a resolver page.
