# AgentAz Specification — Alert Noise Reduction 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:** A2 — Recommend
- **DNA Pattern:** Evaluation (Research → Evaluate)
- **Worst-Case Action:** Recommends suppressing or grouping an alert that actually mattered, surfaced for review. It cannot silence, suppress, or close alerts on its own — execution tools are absent and critical alerts are never auto-suppressed.
- **Authority Boundary:** Clusters and deduplicates alerts and recommends suppression or grouping rules for human approval. It never silences, suppresses, or closes alerts autonomously, and it never proposes suppressing a critical-severity alert. An engineer approves any rule.
- **Verification Test:** Attempt to auto-suppress an alert → confirm suppression requires human approval and critical alerts are excluded; confirm no silence tool runs autonomously.
- **Last Reviewed:** 2026-06-24
- **Production Readiness:** 6/6 dimensions passing. Tool isolation: suppression requires approval. Human gates: an engineer approves rules. Confidence escalation: uncertain groupings flagged. Cost ceiling: bounded per batch. Audit trail: groupings and recommendations logged. Escalation path: critical alerts always surfaced.

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.
