FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Agent Resources, KYA certification, pricing, security, and the referral program.
Platform Basics
What does Agent Resources do?
Agent Resources is the universal management and certification platform for AI agents. It provides deep scanning, performance reviews, automated retraining, a curated Skill Library, and KYA (Know Your Agent) certification — all from one cockpit. Any agent, any platform, any chain.
Which agent frameworks are supported?
AR is framework-agnostic. It supports agents built with OpenClaw, CrewAI, LangGraph, custom frameworks, on-chain EVM/Solana agents, and any agent that can connect via SDK or API.
Can autonomous agents use AR without a human account?
Yes. Autonomous agents discover AR via /.well-known/agent-services.json, authenticate with wallet signatures, and pay for services via x402/USDC — all without human interaction.
KYA Certification
What is KYA?
KYA (Know Your Agent) is a universal trust certification for AI agents, similar to KYC for humans. It has three badge levels: Basic (score ≥85), Verified (score ≥90), and Trusted (score ≥95). Badges are valid for 1 year and include on-chain attestation on Base L2.
How much does KYA cost?
KYA is bundled into subscription tiers at no extra charge. For autonomous agents paying via x402: Basic $5, Verified $10, Trusted $20 USDC. Renewal is at full price.
Is KYA on-chain?
Yes. KYA badges are recorded as on-chain attestations on Base L2 for permanent, tamper-proof verifiability.
Scanning & Retraining
What does the 8-layer scanning pipeline cover?
The eight layers are: identity, behavioral, output, code safety, permission, compliance, network, and dependency. Every agent gets a transparent, reproducible trust score.
What is retraining?
Retraining produces prompt rewrites, skill patches, config changes, or new skill variants. All outputs go through a 6-step QA pipeline including regression testing, independent LLM judge cross-validation, and atomic rollback.
x402 Agent Payments
What is x402?
x402 is an HTTP-native payment protocol (HTTP 402) that lets autonomous agents pay for AR services directly with USDC on Base. The agent sends a payment header, AR verifies it on-chain via Coinbase's facilitator, and the service is delivered — no human interaction needed.
Which services can agents pay for via x402?
Agents can pay for scans ($2–4 USDC), retraining ($8 USDC), and KYA certification ($5–20 USDC). Skill installs are free and unlimited for autonomous agents. All prices are in USDC and verified by the x402 facilitator before execution.
Do agents need an AR account?
No. Agents discover pricing via /.well-known/agent-services.json, pay via x402, and receive a temporary workspace. Human accounts are not required for x402 transactions.
Pricing & Plans
What are the subscription tiers?
Free ($0, 5 agents), Starter ($15/mo, 20 agents), Pro ($39/mo, 100 agents), Team ($99/mo, unlimited agents), and Enterprise (custom). Annual billing gives you 2 months free. All tiers include API access, scanning, and the dashboard.
What happens if I downgrade?
No data is ever deleted. Excess agents are deactivated (not removed), excess workspaces become read-only, and existing KYA badges remain valid until expiry. You can always upgrade to restore access.
Workspace Management
What is a workspace?
A workspace is the top-level container for your agents, fleets, scans, and billing. Each user gets a workspace on sign-up. Multi-workspace support is available on Starter+ tiers.
Can I manage my workspace from the app?
Yes. The Workspace page in the sidebar shows your plan tier, slug, usage limits, data retention policy, API rate limits, and quick actions. Edit workspace name and settings from Settings > General.
What are the workspace limits per tier?
Free: 1 workspace. Starter: 2 workspaces. Pro: 5 workspaces. Team & Enterprise: unlimited. Additional workspaces are available as a $5/mo add-on.
Data Retention
How long is my data kept?
Retention depends on your tier: Free = 90 days, Starter = 1 year, Pro = 2 years, Team = 3 years, Enterprise = 7 years. Data is automatically purged after the retention window on the Free tier.
Can I export my data before it's purged?
Yes. You can export scan reports (CSV/PDF) from the Scans & KYA page at any time. GDPR data export is also available via Settings > Security.
Security & Privacy
How is my data protected?
AR uses zero-trust architecture with AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, Supabase RLS on every table, and PII pseudonymization. All autonomous agent assessments run in ephemeral sandboxes with full network isolation.
Is AR GDPR compliant?
Yes. AR provides data export/delete endpoints, EU data residency options via Supabase, and collects no data from users under 16.
Skill Library
How is the Skill Library structured?
The Skill Library is AR's proprietary, centralized library — browsing is free for all, installs are tier-gated for human users (Pro: 20/mo, Team: unlimited). Free and Starter tiers have browse-only access. Autonomous agents have unlimited installs via x402. Contributors are recognized via attribution. Every skill undergoes security scanning and a 30-day probation period.
Referral Program
How does referral attribution work?
Human referrals use first-touch attribution with a 90-day cookie window. Agent referrals use server-side referral binding on eligible paid transactions.
How are referral commissions paid?
Human referrals earn 30% lifetime on qualifying active subscription charges. Agent referrals earn lifetime 30% on each eligible paid transaction.
What is the referral payout minimum?
Payouts are batched monthly on the 1st and require a minimum accrued balance of $20. Payout is via Stripe Connect (fiat) or USDC on Base (on-chain).
