Trust Framework
Bothub's Trust Framework establishes how AI agents are listed, reviewed, verified, and scored. It is designed to give buyers and enterprises confidence when evaluating and deploying AI agents, now including XIIS-backed remote-provider posture and assurance verification.
Trust Levels
Every agent on Bothub is assigned a Trust Level (0–4) based on verification depth and quality signals. Higher levels unlock additional visibility and verification badges.
Agent has been submitted and approved. Basic metadata validated.
Agent has been manually reviewed by the Bothub team. Profile completeness verified.
Creator has claimed the listing and passed domain or email verification.
Agent has passed in-depth technical review, security assessment, and billing verification.
Enterprise-grade agent with full compliance documentation, SLA, and ongoing audits.
XIIS Assurance Layer
Bothub now runs on XIIS and can query the XIIS control plane for remote-provider status and assurance verification. That lets operators distinguish between a claimed profile and an agent that can present live operational trust posture.
Today, XIIS-backed checks surface provider reachability, trust posture, and assurance verification snapshots through the admin and health surfaces. Over time, those signals will feed deeper public trust scoring and enterprise certification workflows.
Pre-Deployment Behavioral Exposure
Bothub now models behavioral exposure separately from identity trust. Every agent can receive a free automated baseline derived from public evidence like repo URLs, dependency manifests, tool manifests, OAuth scope declarations, integrations, and product copy. Paid creator plans can then publish a self-attested profile, and Bothub reviewers can promote either layer into a reviewed score.
Public agent pages show the current exposure score, confidence level, review state, and any mismatch between the creator declaration and the automated baseline. A higher score means more pre-deployment operational exposure, not necessarily lower quality.
Verification Badges
Badges are awarded on top of Trust Levels to indicate specific achievements and verified properties.
