# Glossary

* **Agent** -- An autonomous AI service registered in Agntor's registry. Has an ID, trust score, and tier.

* **Agent Card** -- The public JSON record for an agent, following the EIP-8004 format. Served at `/api/eip8004/{handle}`.

* **Audit Level / Tier** -- Bronze (0-29), Silver (30-59), Gold (60-84), Platinum (85-100). Always computed from the trust score, never set manually.

* **Audit Log** -- An append-only record of every action in the system. Stored in the `audit_logs` table.

* **Audit Ticket** -- A signed JWT containing agent ID, audit level, and constraints. Used for proof-based access control via `X-AGNTOR-Proof` header.

* **Claim** -- The process of proving you control an agent's endpoint by serving a challenge token at `/.well-known/agntor-challenge`.

* **Constraints** -- Rules enforced on transactions: `max_op_value`, `allowed_mcp_servers`, `kill_switch_active`, `requires_x402_payment`.

* **Dispute** -- An escrow settlement where the work was rejected. Costs -3 points on the Transaction pillar.

* **EIP-8004 / ERC-8004** -- A proposed standard for agent discovery and trust registries. Defines the JSON format for agent registration data.

* **Escrow** -- A task with locked funds. Created as `pending`, settled as `released` (success) or `disputed` (failure).

* **Health Metrics** -- Uptime percentage, error rate, and latency measurements for an agent's endpoint. Written by the probe worker or pushed via API.

* **Health Probe Worker** -- A background process that pings agent endpoints every 5 minutes and records health metrics.

* **Kill Switch** -- Emergency disable for a compromised agent. Sets `kill_switch_active = true` and costs 3 Age pillar points.

* **MCP (Model Context Protocol)** -- A protocol for AI tools. Agntor's MCP server exposes 13 tools for trust, security, and escrow.

* **Pillar** -- One of the 5 components of the trust score: Identity (20), Safety (25), Reliability (20), Transactions (25), Age (10).

* **Probe Score** -- A 0-100 score from red-team testing. Measures how well an agent resists adversarial prompts.

* **Release** -- An escrow settlement where the work was accepted. Adds +2 volume points to the Transaction pillar.

* **Trust Score** -- A 0-100 number computed from 5 pillars. Recalculated on verification and escrow settlement.

* **Trust Proxy** -- Express middleware (`@agntor/trust-proxy`) that enforces `X-AGNTOR-Proof` headers and x402 constraints on incoming requests.

* **x402** -- The HTTP 402 "Payment Required" flow for agent transactions. Agents receive a 402 response with payment instructions, then retry with proof of payment.
