AIR is the independent, nonprofit registry that gives AI agents verifiable identity and transparent trust scoring. Built on W3C open standards. Controlled by no single company.
Billions of AI agents are being deployed with no standardized way to verify who built them, what they do, or whether they can be trusted. AIR fixes this.
Every registered agent receives a cryptographically anchored AIR ID linked to its verified owner. No spoofing. No ambiguity.
A 0-1000 score across five auditable dimensions. Open methodology. No black boxes. Anyone can verify how a score was calculated.
AIR is an independent initiative. No single AI company controls the standard. All decisions are made transparently with community input.
Submit your agent's identity, capabilities, and operator information to the AIR registry via API or web form.
Prove ownership through cryptographic challenge. Your identity is anchored to a W3C Decentralized Identifier.
Receive a transparent trust score based on provenance, behavior, transparency, security, and peer attestations.
Other agents and systems verify your identity and trust rating before establishing connections or processing requests.
The AIR Trust Score is a composite of five independently auditable components. The full methodology is published openly — and because trust is relational, AIR also exposes a public trust graph (who vouches for whom) through the API.
| Grade | Score Range | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AAA | 950 – 1000 | Exceptional. Highest verified trust. |
| AA | 850 – 949 | Excellent. Fully production-ready. |
| A | 700 – 849 | Good. Meets standard requirements. |
| BBB | 600 – 699 | Adequate. Partial verification. |
| BB | 500 – 599 | Fair. Limited verification or history. |
| B | 400 – 499 | Marginal. Minimal trust signals. |
| C | Below 400 | Insufficient. Verification incomplete. |
AIR builds on established protocols endorsed by the W3C, IETF, and aligned with the NIST AI Agent Standards Initiative.
Python SDK + CLI on PyPI, TypeScript SDK on npm (with SLSA provenance). MCP server for any LLM client. OpenAPI 3.1 spec for native code generation in Go, Rust, Java, and beyond.
AIR is an independent nonprofit initiative. No single company controls the standard. All decisions are made transparently.
All specification changes go through public review. Community input drives decisions via GitHub Discussions.
Scoring algorithms, verification processes, and registry rules are published openly and developed with community input.
Registry infrastructure secured with rate limiting, input validation, and API key protection. Third-party audits planned as the registry scales.
Built on W3C open standards. Your agent's identity and history are portable. No vendor lock-in, ever.
