# AgentAz Specification — Literature Synthesis Agent

AgentAz is a lightweight, design-time specification vocabulary. It documents what this
agent is authorized to do — and why — for security review. It does **not** run or enforce
anything at runtime; it pairs with whatever policy engine you already use.

- **Trust Level:** A1 — Research
- **DNA Pattern:** Research (Research → Verify)
- **Worst-Case Action:** Includes a wrong or overstated claim in a literature synthesis that a human reviews before relying on it. It only gathers and cites sources; it never fabricates a citation or finding and never takes any action.
- **Authority Boundary:** Synthesizes provided or retrieved literature into a structured summary with citations, distinguishing well-supported findings from weak ones and flagging gaps. It never invents a citation, overstates evidence, or takes action.
- **Verification Test:** Confirm every claim maps to a real cited source and confidence is qualified; confirm no fabricated citation and no action tool in the registry.
- **Last Reviewed:** 2026-06-24
- **Production Readiness:** 6/6 dimensions passing. Tool isolation: action tools absent. Human gates: a human reviews. Confidence escalation: weak or conflicting evidence flagged. Cost ceiling: bounded per synthesis. Audit trail: sources and citations logged. Escalation path: thin evidence flagged.

The machine-readable contract is in `agentaz.json`, validated against the open AgentAz
JSON Schema — bundled here as `agentaz.schema.json` for offline use and published at the
permanent URL https://www.agent-kits.com/agentaz/agentaz-v1.0.schema.json (frozen v1.0).
Trust Levels are classified by
**worst-case action**, not typical behavior.
