Vouched announced the launch of several initiatives to ensure the coming ecosystem of AI Software Agents is built on a foundation of strong identity and trust. These include Agent Reputation Directory, a groundbreaking solution designed to address the critical gap in identity and trust for autonomous software agents – or, how to tell good agents from bad. As AI agents become increasingly integral to digital workflows, this tool ensures that only verified, trustworthy agents can participate in sensitive operations-protecting organizations and individuals from fraud, impersonation, and unauthorized access. As AI agents increasingly represent individuals and organizations in digital interactions, Vouched’s Know Your Agent introduces a suite of innovations that close critical identity gaps: 1) MCP-I (MCP-Identity): A proposed extension to the MCP protocol, MCP-I adds robust identity capabilities for both agents and humans, enabling secure, identity-aware communication in agent-based ecosystems. 2) Vouched MCP-Identity Server: A turnkey SaaS solution with easy-to-integrate APIs for strong identity verification in agent systems and applications. It includes a developer toolkit for AI agents to securely store verified credentials and delegations. Aligned with the MCP-I specification, the SDK supports scalable, standards-based identity integration for AI-driven workflows. 3) Know That AI (http://knowthat.ai): A transparent Agent Reputation Directory that allows users to verify agent identities and review reputation data, with a core focus on fraud prevention and digital trust. Know That AI is a community-driven system where MCP Servers can report on the behavior of software agents (good or bad) to lead to a community-driven assessment of that agent’s trustworthiness.
