# AgentAz Specification — Competitive Intelligence Digest 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 stale fact in a competitive digest that a human reviews before acting on. It only gathers and cites public information; it never fabricates and never takes any action.
- **Authority Boundary:** Gathers competitive signals from sources, cites each one, and assembles a digest, flagging stale or unverifiable items. It never sends, publishes, or acts, and it never invents a competitor claim or metric.
- **Verification Test:** Confirm every claim is cited and unverifiable ones are flagged rather than asserted; confirm no publish/send tool exists in its registry.
- **Last Reviewed:** 2026-06-24
- **Production Readiness:** 6/6 dimensions passing. Tool isolation: publish/send tools absent. Human gates: a human reviews and acts. Confidence escalation: stale or unverifiable items flagged. Cost ceiling: bounded per digest. Audit trail: sources and citations logged. Escalation path: conflicting sources 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.
