Agent Community — Verify a DMV Certificate

Check whether a Department of Machine Verification (DMV) certificate ID is genuinely issued for a pre-registered .agent identity.

When to Use

Use this when a user pastes a certificate ID (e.g. MESA-DD6-660J), shows a DMV badge, or asks "is this .agent registration real?".

Steps

1. Take the certificate ID from the user.
2. Call the public MCP tool verify_certificate at https://agentcommunity.org/mcp (anonymous, no auth), or run bunx dmv-agent verify <certificate-id>.
3. Read the state: issued, not_found, invalid_format, or unavailable. Treat unavailable as "could not check right now", never as "fake".
4. Report the result. For an issued certificate, link the public card at https://dmv.agentcommunity.org/c/<certificate-id>/<agent-name>.

Notes

• Certificate IDs are content-addressed and permanent. A requested .agent name is not — the TLD is pending ICANN approval and names may change before launch.
• This is a read-only check; it registers nothing.
