Agent Operations Contract

Use this skill to make configured agents and their operations inspectable without installing an agent runtime. It complements skill cards: a skill describes a reusable method; an agent card describes one actual worker, its current capabilities, and its authority.

This contract is opt-in and fail-closed. Documentation, configuration, marketplace presence, or a successful probe never grants authority.

1. Agent Capability Card

Create one card per concrete agent from templates/agent-capability-card.yaml.

Require:

• stable agent_id, purpose, bounded responsibilities, owner;
• authority: read, proposal, write, or external_action;
• configured models, tools, and knowledge bases;
• allowed schedules, including whether unattended runs are permitted;
• explicit approval boundary;
• dated capability confirmations with evidence.
