Why This Becomes Necessary
Without a shared directory, teams over-trust generic agent labels and discover missing controls only after a task has already been delegated.
Identity, Reputation & Capability
Capability Directory
Blueprints for directory of declared capabilities for autonomous agents.
Three Pillars
What a Solution Must Provide
A useful directory needs standardized capability vocabularies, scope metadata, dependency disclosures, and freshness signals that show whether a claim is still valid.
Regulatory & Standards Angle
Publishing machine-readable capability constraints supports transparency expectations by showing what an agent was authorized to do, not merely what it attempted.
