Reputation
A signed event ledger that tracks what an agent has done, how it behaved, and whether it can be trusted. Reputation travels with the agent across sessions and systems.
What it does
- Records every significant agent action as a signed event
- Tracks policy adherence, verification pass rate, and action history
- Computes a portable reputation score that can be exported and queried
- Enables other agents and systems to make informed trust decisions
- Events are signed with the agent's identity keypair; they can't be fabricated
Why it matters
Without reputation, every new system an agent interacts with has to treat it as unknown. There's no way to carry forward a track record. Reputation fixes this: a verifiable history of behaviour that any counterparty can inspect.
It also creates an incentive structure. Agents that behave well (stay within policy, produce verifiable receipts, avoid errors) build reputation over time. Agents that don't, don't.
Portability
Reputation is exportable as a signed JSON payload tied to the agent's ERC-8004 identity. Any system with the agent's public key can verify the record independently. It doesn't require a connection to KOGENT - the cryptographic proof is self-contained.
