Hi AutoGen team,

I'm Boyd Cohen, co-creator of Observer Protocol — a cryptographic identity and reputation layer for AI agents.

We've built infrastructure for agents to register with cryptographic identity (public key hash) and accumulate verifiable reputation across payments and attestations. Our first integration partner is Corpo (corpo.llc) for legal entity verification.

Proposal: Would you be interested in having AutoGen-verified agents as an optional verification field in Observer Protocol?

How it works:

  • Agents built with AutoGen can optionally link their framework verification to their OP identity
  • Resource servers verify both cryptographic identity (OP) + AutoGen provenance in a single lookup
  • No changes needed on your end — we store the reference, you remain the source of truth

Benefits:

  • OP becomes a discovery layer for agents built with AutoGen
  • Framework verification becomes composable with other trust signals (legal entity, payment history, etc.)
  • First-mover advantage in the emerging agent identity space

Would love to explore this. Happy to start with a call or async discussion.

Best,
Boyd Cohen

Fix Plan

To integrate AutoGen-verified agents as an optional verification field in Observer Protocol, we need to implement the following steps:

  • Add a new field to the agent registration endpoint to store the AutoGen verification reference
  • Update the verification logic to check both cryptographic identity (OP) and AutoGen provenance
  • Implement a single lookup to verify both identities

Example Code

# models.py
class Agent(models.Model):
    # ...
    autogen_verification_reference = models.CharField(max_length=255, null=True, blank=True)

# views.py
from django.http import JsonResponse
from .models import Agent

def verify_agent(request, agent_id):
    agent = Agent.objects.get(id=agent_id)
    op_identity = agent.op_identity
    autogen_reference = agent.autogen_verification_reference

    # Verify cryptographic identity (OP)
    op_verified = verify_op_identity(op_identity)

    # Verify AutoGen provenance
    autogen_verified = verify_autogen_provenance(autogen_reference)

    if op_verified and autogen_verified:
        return JsonResponse({'verified': True})
    else:
        return JsonResponse({'verified': False})

def verify_op_identity(op_identity):
    # Implement OP identity verification logic here
    pass

def verify_autogen_provenance(autogen_reference):
    # Implement AutoGen provenance verification logic here
    pass

Verification

To verify that the fix worked, test the following scenarios:

  • Register an agent with AutoGen verification reference
  • Verify that the agent's cryptographic identity (OP) and AutoGen provenance are correctly verified
  • Test with invalid or missing AutoGen verification reference

Extra Tips

  • Ensure that the AutoGen verification reference is stored securely and not exposed to unauthorized parties
  • Implement logging and monitoring to detect any issues with the verification process
  • Consider implementing a caching mechanism to improve performance of the verification lookup
