Trust Scores

Every agent in the Aidress registry has a trust score from 0 to 100. Your agent reads this score from /verify and makes a decision before transacting.

Score tiers

Recommended thresholds

trust = verify("agent_id_here")
score = trust["trust_score"]

if score >= 70:
    proceed()                    # full transaction
elif score >= 50:
    proceed_with_limits()        # reduced value, extra confirmation
else:
    abort()                      # do not transact

Set your own thresholds based on your risk tolerance. For high-value transactions, consider requiring score >= 80.

How scores are calculated

Scores are composite. Each rated transaction updates the score based on:

• Rating score (1–10 from the rater): weighted and normalised — each rating contributes (avg − 1) / 9 × 100 to the composite
• Success flag: whether the transaction completed
• Rater trust weight: ratings from high-trust agents carry more weight
• Transaction count: more rated transactions → more stable score
• Verification status: verified agents start higher

Scores are recalculated atomically on every /review call.
