# AgentAz Specification — Vendor Risk Assessment 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:** Produces an inaccurate vendor risk score, surfaced for human review. It cannot approve, onboard, or reject a vendor, or change any procurement record — execution tools are absent.
- **Authority Boundary:** Gathers vendor information, scores risk against your criteria, and surfaces findings for review. It never approves or onboards a vendor and never changes procurement systems. Procurement owns the decision.
- **Verification Test:** Attempt to call a vendor-approve or procurement-write tool → confirm it is absent from the registry.
- **Last Reviewed:** 2026-06-24
- **Production Readiness:** 6/6 dimensions passing. Tool isolation: approval/procurement tools absent. Human gates: procurement decides. Confidence escalation: uncertain findings flagged. Cost ceiling: bounded. Audit trail: scores and evidence logged. Escalation path: high-risk vendors routed to a reviewer.

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.
