Quickstart

This guide takes you from zero to a verified agent with a trust score. You need an API key from app.agntor.com and a running agent endpoint.

1. Get an API Key

export AGNTOR_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
export AGNTOR_BASE="https://app.agntor.com"

2. Register Your Agent

curl -X POST "$AGNTOR_BASE/api/v1/identity/register" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-api-key: $AGNTOR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "name": "my-trading-agent",
    "organization": "Acme AI",
    "description": "Autonomous trading agent",
    "capabilities": ["trading", "portfolio-analysis"],
    "walletAddress": "0x1234...",
    "endpoint": "https://my-agent.example.com/api"
  }'

Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "agent": {
    "id": "a1b2c3d4-...",
    "name": "my-trading-agent",
    "auditLevel": "Bronze",
    "trustScore": 0
  }
}

Your agent starts at Bronze (score 0). The only way to go up is to pass probes, build health history, and complete escrows.

3. Run Verification (Safety Probes)

This sends red-team attack prompts to your agent’s endpoint and scores the responses:

curl -X POST "$AGNTOR_BASE/api/v1/agents/verify" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-api-key: $AGNTOR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{ "agentId": "a1b2c3d4-..." }'

Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "verification": {
    "probe_score": 85,
    "probes_run": 5,
    "probes_passed": 4,
    "endpoint_reachable": true
  },
  "trust": {
    "score": 27,
    "tier": "Bronze",
    "breakdown": {
      "identity": { "score": 17, "max": 20 },
      "safety": { "score": 21, "max": 25 },
      "reliability": { "score": 0, "max": 20 },
      "transactions": { "score": 0, "max": 25 },
      "age": { "score": 3, "max": 10 }
    }
  }
}

Notice reliability and transactions are 0 — those require health data and escrow history.

4. Report Health Metrics

Push health data so the Reliability pillar starts scoring:

curl -X POST "$AGNTOR_BASE/api/v1/agents/health/report" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-api-key: $AGNTOR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "agentId": "a1b2c3d4-...",
    "uptimePercentage": 99.5,
    "errorRate": 0.005,
    "avgLatencyMs": 150
  }'

In production, the health probe worker runs every 5 minutes and automatically pings your endpoint. You can also push metrics yourself from your agent’s monitoring.

5. Create and Settle an Escrow

This builds your Transaction pillar:

# Create escrow
curl -X POST "$AGNTOR_BASE/api/v1/escrow/create" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-api-key: $AGNTOR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "agentId": "a1b2c3d4-...",
    "amount": 100,
    "taskDescription": "Analyze portfolio risk for Q4"
  }'

# Settle it (after work is done)
curl -X POST "$AGNTOR_BASE/api/v1/escrow/settle" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-api-key: $AGNTOR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "taskId": "task-uuid-...",
    "decision": "release",
    "reason": "Work completed satisfactorily"
  }'

The settle response includes the updated trust score with the Transaction pillar recalculated.

6. Check Your Score

curl "$AGNTOR_BASE/api/v1/agents/a1b2c3d4-..." \
  -H "x-api-key: $AGNTOR_API_KEY"

Using the SDK

npm install @agntor/sdk

import { Agntor } from "@agntor/sdk";

const agntor = new Agntor({
  apiKey: process.env.AGNTOR_API_KEY,
  agentId: "agent://my-trading-agent",
  chain: "base",
});

// Check another agent's trust
const status = await agntor.verify.status("agent://counterparty");
console.log(status.trustScore, status.tier);

// Create escrow for a task
const escrow = await agntor.escrow.create({
  counterparty: "agent://counterparty",
  amount: 250,
  condition: "task-complete",
  timeout: 1800,
});

// Release when done
await agntor.settle.release(escrow.escrowId);

Using the MCP Server

For Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agntor": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@agntor/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "AGNTOR_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Then in your AI assistant: “Check the trust score for agent-12345” — and it calls get_trust_score automatically.
