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

Sign up at app.agntor.com and create an API key from the dashboard. All /api/v1/* endpoints require this 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.
