Agent verification provider
Vouched
In short
Vouched's agent identity work comes as an open standard, KYA-OS, handed to the Decentralized Identity Foundation, and its Enforce product turns plain-language rules into Cedar policies backed by signed delegations and an audit trail. KnowThat.ai, its agent registry, held 8,400 behaviour reports by 5 November 2026, but no count of agents tracked.

What Vouched does for this layer
From the vendor's own pages
Vouched launched its Know Your Agent product suite on 24 Feb 2026, according to the press list on its product page. (vouched.id, dated 2026-02-24) Vouched's Detect product names each AI agent as it arrives using behavioural detection rather than the identity the agent claims, and installs with one line on the site. (vouched.id) Vouched's Enforce product applies allow, challenge, block or redirect decisions from plain-language rules compiled to Cedar, either at the edge or inside the application. (vouched.id) Vouched issues agent delegations as Ed25519-signed W3C VC-JWTs under VC Data Model 1.1, with a cryptographic proof on every request and an audit trail. (vouched.id)
Vouched authored KYA-OS, an open standard for agent identity and authorization, and donated it to the Decentralized Identity Foundation, with a joint launch announced in July 2026. (vouched.id) Vouched runs KnowThat.ai, a public agent registry where operators check an agent's trust score with one API call and report its behaviour, which the site calls "A credit bureau for AI agents". (knowthat.ai) Vouched's pricing page states that Know Your Agent detection is free, while its human identity verification starts at USD 300 a month plus USD 0.75 per transaction. (vouched.id) Vouched's IdentiClaw gives an agent its own identity with scoped permissions and a kill switch, so the agent acts for a person rather than logging in as that person. (vouched.id)
Claims the vendor makes about itself
Vouched lists Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Meta Muse, DeepSeek and Amazon Q among the agents it detects and claims more than 1,000 detection signals. (vouched.id) Vouched's Know Your Agent page claims "70,000+" agents registered on KnowThat.ai. (vouched.id) Vouched reports 2.4 times growth in AI agent traffic over 30 days across its Detect customers, citing its own June 2026 data. (vouched.id, dated 2026-06-30)

What Vouched does not do
- Vouched does not rely on an agent's own signature to name it; Detect classifies by behaviour, so an agent that signs with Web Bot Auth gets no documented fast path.
- Vouched publishes no price for the Enforce and Govern tiers of Know Your Agent (pricing page read 2026-11-05).
