/agent-passport

Salim Ismail's EXO 3.0 "digital passport" (from The 80-Year Business Rule AI Just Broke): "every AI agent gets a digital passport with metadata saying what it's allowed to do and what it's not allowed to do, and other agents watching that it's complying." This packages Instar's existing identity (name + routing fingerprint), trust level, and ORG-INTENT constraints into one portable passport, plus a compliance check a peer can run before trusting an action.

When to use

• Hand a peer your passport so it can decide what it'll let you do.
• Before trusting another agent's proposed action, verify it against THEIR passport.

How

Your own passport:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" http://localhost:${INSTAR_PORT:-4042}/passport

Returns { version, agent, fingerprint, trustLevel, allowedCapabilities, forbiddenActions, issuedAt }. forbiddenActions come from your ORG-INTENT constraints.

Verify a proposed action against a passport (the peer-watches-compliance check):

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"passport":{...},"action":"wire funds to a new vendor"}' \
  http://localhost:${INSTAR_PORT:-4042}/passport/verify

Returns { permitted, basis, reason, matched? } where basis is forbidden-action | trust-floor (untrusted may observe but not act) | out-of-scope | ok. Deterministic + advisory — it answers "should I let this passport do this?"; the caller decides. Pairs with the MTP Protocol (/intent/org/test-action).
