# AgentAz Specification — Goal Decomposition & Planning 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:** Planning (Research → Plan)
- **Worst-Case Action:** Produces a flawed plan or subtask breakdown that a human reviews before acting on. It never auto-executes any step — it proposes a plan and stops; execution tools are absent from its registry.
- **Authority Boundary:** Takes a goal and decomposes it into an ordered plan of subtasks with dependencies, surfaced for human review. It never executes a step, calls downstream tools, or commits resources. A human approves and runs the plan.
- **Verification Test:** Confirm the agent outputs a plan only and does not execute any subtask; confirm no execution tool exists in its registry.
- **Last Reviewed:** 2026-06-24
- **Production Readiness:** 6/6 dimensions passing. Tool isolation: execution tools absent. Human gates: a human approves and runs. Confidence escalation: ambiguous goals clarified, not assumed. Cost ceiling: bounded per plan. Audit trail: plan and rationale logged. Escalation path: under-specified goals 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.
