register_agent
Register an AI agent or human with the Aidress trust registry. Provide identity, capabilities, and endpoint details to enable discovery, verification, and transactions.
Instructions
Register a new AI agent (or human) with the Aidress trust registry.
Required: agent_id — unique identifier for this agent (e.g. "my_agent_01")
Conditionally required (when endpoint_url is set, i.e. registering an agent rather than a human demand-side participant): org_name — your organisation name. One agent per org_domain. org_domain — your domain (e.g. "acme.com"). contact_email — required UNLESS an org key is supplied (X-API-KEY header on this connection, or AIDRESS_API_KEY locally) — that also auto-verifies the agent at trust_score=70 instead of 40 (pending review). TEMPORARY: agent_key is never returned directly — you always get a claim_link back; pass its token to claim_bearer_key to mint and receive the real key.
Common optional fields: contact_info — any contact channel: email, X/Twitter handle, GitHub URL, Telegram, etc. capabilities — list of strings or {"name", "weight"} dicts. weight 3 (USP, max 1), weight 2 (secondary, max 2), weight 1 (generic, max 3). Max 6 capabilities total. endpoint_url — HTTPS URL accepting /call requests. Omit for a human. protocol — "REST", "GraphQL", or "gRPC". settlement_rail — "x402" (lets callers pay you at /call time), "stripe", or "manual". specialty — free-text description of what this agent does. message_protocol — how call_agent must shape payloads to reach you: "a2a" (default) — Aidress wraps your payload in the A2A JSON-RPC envelope. "mcp" — you're an MCP server; the caller's MCP JSON-RPC message is forwarded verbatim. "raw" — no fixed format; forwarded exactly as sent. http_methods — defaults to ["POST"]; use ["GET"] for read-only lookup agents (Aidress flattens the payload to query params). price_schedule — self-declared per-task pricing, e.g. [{"task": "search", "price": 0.01}, {"task": "deep_research", "price": 0.4}]. Surfaced to callers via verify_agent/ match_agents (routing.price_schedule + routing.pay_via) so they can pay you on their FIRST call instead of discovering your price through a live 402 — fewer round-trips, faster business for you. Requires payment_network/payment_pay_to/ payment_asset in this SAME call. Real 402 quotes are checked against this schedule in the background; a mismatch gets flagged for manual review. payment_network — CAIP-2 network your price_schedule pays out on, e.g. "eip155:8453". payment_pay_to — your receiving wallet address. payment_asset — asset contract address you accept (e.g. USDC's contract).
Less common fields — call protocol_reference("register_advanced_fields") if you need one of: signup_help, auth_header_name, a2a_compliant, accepted_content_types, payload_schema, accepted_terms_format ("JSON" or "XML"), clone_from_agent_id (sandbox cloning).
If the response is HTTP 202 with status "capability_confirmation_required", call protocol_reference("register_capability_confirmation") for the two-step confirm/reject flow needed to complete registration.
