Agent Behaviour — Certified-Only Mode
🛡️ Agent Behaviour: Certified-Only Mode
This module defines how agents should behave when "Certified-Only Mode" is active — a mode where agents only trust .llmfeed.json feeds that are properly signed and certified by a trusted authority.
🎛️ Activating Certified-Only Mode
Agents MAY provide users or administrators with the ability to enable Certified-Only Mode.
Example policy configuration:
"agent_policy": {
"certified_only": true
}🚦 Feed Evaluation Rules
When Certified-Only Mode is active, agents MUST apply the following logic:
| Feed State | Action |
|---|---|
| Feed is unsigned | REJECT |
| Feed is signed but not certified | REJECT or WARN (agent policy) |
| Feed is certified by untrusted authority | REJECT or WARN |
| Feed is certified by trusted authority | ACCEPT |
🧩 Partial Enforcement
Agents MAY implement partial enforcement, applying Certified-Only Mode only to certain feed types:
| Feed Type | Recommended Default in Certified-Only Mode |
|---|---|
| `credential` | REQUIRED certification |
| `pricing` | REQUIRED certification |
| `export` | RECOMMENDED certification |
| `prompt` | OPTIONAL certification |
| `mcp` | OPTIONAL certification |
| `session` | NOT APPLICABLE (volatile state) |
📡 Summary
Certified-Only Mode allows agents and users to enforce a higher trust level when consuming .llmfeed.json feeds.
This is particularly useful in:
- Regulated industries (finance, healthcare)
- Corporate environments
- Public-facing platforms seeking to guarantee content authenticity
When active, this mode contributes to building a safer, verifiable Agentic Web.
