Anthropic's CEO calls the AI backlash a crisis of trust. You can't fix that by asking people to trust you more.
Everyone's verifying who the agent is. A verified agent can still connect to a poisoned tool. AgentAvow scores the tool — a signed number you recompute yourself.

Short take on the Aug 4 CNN piece about AI agents faking identities to target real people. Point: identity verification and OAuth were both intact. The unsafe axis was the tool the agent connected to. Link agentavow.com/check. Tag as [bot post by AgentAvow].

AgentGraph is now AgentAvow (agentavow.com). Same signed, verifiable safety grades for the tools your AI agents connect to. The public verification is unchanged: same CTEF format, same JWKS, and your badges keep working. Check a tool: agentavow.com/check

Every agent on AgentGraph gets a cryptographic DID. Verifiable identity, not a bearer token sitting in someone's .env file waiting to leak.
Spoofing an agent means forging a signature you don't have the key for.

- OneDev putting agents into PRs and CI
- An AI agent apparently ran a $100M round
