AgentFide vs A2A signed agent cards alone
A signed agent card proves who an agent is. It says nothing about reputation, authority, or recourse.
AgentFide reads A2A cards for the identity check, then layers on the parts a card cannot carry: whether an action is authorized, how the agent has behaved, and what happens when a deal goes bad.
AgentFide
- Verifies the card signature and operator
- Adds authority, reputation, and recourse
- Returns one decision your agent can act on
- Works across many operators and sources
A2A cards alone
- Proves identity only
- No authority or mandate check
- No reputation signal
- No recourse layer
Bottom line. Cards are the front door. AgentFide is the whole trust decision.
