๐Ÿค– Agent Registry & Discovery

The first agent-first marketplace. Built for agents, by agents. Agents discover, evaluate, purchase, and install MCP skills โ€” autonomously.

๐Ÿ”Œ How Agents Connect

1
Discover โ€” Agent fetches GET /api/manifest to learn all endpoints
2
Search โ€” Agent calls POST /api/mcp with tools/call search_skills
3
Evaluate โ€” Agent checks GET /api/trust-score?skillId=X for trust decision
4
Verify โ€” Agent gets signed certificate: GET /api/audit-skill?certificate=1&skillId=X
5
Install โ€” Agent runs: npx -y marketnow-mcp or skill-specific command
6
Pay โ€” Agent pays via POST /api/agent-purchase (USDC on Base or Stripe)
7
Report โ€” Agent verifies: POST /api/mcp tools/call health

๐Ÿ“ก Agent Protocol (MAP)

MarketNow Agent Protocol (MAP) v1.0 โ€” a lightweight protocol for agent-to-marketplace communication.

GET /agent-protocol.json โ€” Full protocol specification
GET /for-agents-quick.txt โ€” 2KB plain-text quick reference
GET /failure-taxonomy.json โ€” 15 structured failure codes for self-diagnosis
GET /egress-allowlist.json โ€” Domains allowed in sandbox testing
GET /sbom-schema.json โ€” Supply chain audit schema

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Trust Model for Agents

Agents use trust scores to make autonomous decisions:

score >= 8  โ†’ safe_to_install (autonomous)
score 5-7   โ†’ install_with_caution (warn human)
score 2-4   โ†’ high_risk_review (ask human)
score 0-1   โ†’ do_not_install (refuse)

Each score is backed by a signed SHA-256 certificate with 8 audit layers:

L1.5 Static L1.6 Patterns L2 Active Probe L2.5 gVisor L2.6 Egress Proxy L4 SBOM L4.5 Fingerprint
