Use Cases

How A2AS Behavior Certificates enable transparency, security, and governance for AI agents

Make agent behavior transparent

Behavior certificates provide an explicit, structured description of what an agent is designed to do, which actions it may perform, and which resources it may access across agentic, application, and OS layers. They turn implicit behavior scattered across prompts, code, and configs into a single, reviewable artifact.

Create a standard security artifact for review

Behavior certificates serve as a security and governance artifact that security engineers and platform teams can review, sign, and compare, instead of relying on ad hoc inspection of source code or system prompts.

Approve deployment and environment access

Behavior certificates can be used as a prerequisite for deploying agents into production or granting access to sensitive environments, so that only agents with certified capability sets are allowed to operate in specific runtime contexts.

Track agentic behavior changes across releases

Because certificates are deterministic and versioned, diffs between certificate versions reveal how an agent's behavior surface evolves over time, highlighting newly added or removed actions and resources for focused review.

Drive automated risk scoring and standards mapping

Behavior certificates can be consumed by risk engines that assign scores to specific capabilities, aggregate risk at the agent level, and map findings to security standards, enabling consistent and repeatable assessment.

Bind capabilities to security controls and enforcement mechanisms

Declared capability paths in behavior certificates provide a stable contract that gateways, sandboxes, and host-level controls can consume, allowing enforcement and monitoring mechanisms to align with the certified behavior surface without bespoke configuration per agent.

Compare and select agents by capabilities

Behavior certificates enable systematic comparison of agents based on their declared capabilities and behavior surface, supporting selection between alternative implementations or third-party agents beyond informal documentation and marketing claims.

Assess and onboard third-party and open source agents

Organizations can require third-party or open source agents to ship behavior certificates as part of onboarding, enabling consistent evaluation, policy checks, and approval workflows using the same schema and tools as for internal agents.

Seed registries and catalogs of certified agents

Behavior certificates form the foundation for registries or catalogs of agents that expose declared capabilities and risk profiles, making it possible to curate, discover, and recommend agents based on certified behavior rather than opaque functionality.
