Agent Registry
Purpose
The Agent Registry is the public publication and verification surface for APIS v2.1.
Today this site supports static registry entries and proof records. It does not claim a fully automated live registry backend yet.
Registry Model
The registry keeps these concepts separate:
- Agent Passport Profile: issuance recipe or credential class
- Agent Passport™: minted credential instance
- Registry Entry: public verification record
- Proof Artifact: supporting evidence package, DOI, signed artifact, or reference proof
This separation keeps public records understandable and avoids confusing a reusable class of agent with a single minted credential.
Current Entries
- Herman Reference Proof: first verified Agent Passport reference proof published for APIS v2.1
- Faraday Operator Profile: pending candidate profile for the PresenceOS operator surface

How To Read An Entry
Each registry entry should make clear:
- whether it is a profile, minted passport reference, or both
- what principal and realm are involved
- what proof artifacts support the claim
- whether the entry is verified, pending, or candidate-only
Next Step
Start with Herman Reference Proof for the first verified APIS v2.1 reference record, then compare it with the candidate Faraday Operator Profile to see how profiles and proofs differ.
