Use it
Start with demos you can run, working example code, data formats and tests. You can go from trying it out to a real pilot without buying anything or waiting for a closed product.
Community
The people and organisations behind AgenTrust
AgenTrust is a set of free, open specifications and tools for checking what an AI system ran and what it did (the terms, in plain English). This page lists who builds and supports it, how decisions are made, and how you can take part. Every relationship named here links to something public you can check.
Follow AgenTrust on LinkedIn for project updates and community highlights. To suggest work for a feature, use the Message button on the LinkedIn page and send a link with a few lines about what you would like us to cover.
Three ways to take part
Use it, improve it, keep it going
Improve it
Tell us what broke, build connections to other tools, point out security weaknesses, share results from real deployments, or publish research. All the code and issue lists are public, so you can see where help is needed.
Keep it going
Help review changes, become a maintainer, write up how you use it, and share the upkeep across organisations, so the work does not depend on any one team.
A typical path: try a ten-minute demo → run the open tests → pilot it on one part of your system → share your results and integrations → help run and maintain the projects.
Verified ecosystem evidence
Relationships the public record supports
Every organisation named here is backed by something public: an announcement, an open-source repository, or a partner statement. The label on each card says exactly what the relationship is. Sponsoring, partnering, contributing and adopting are different things, and none of them means an organisation endorses everything AgenTrust does.
Neutral host
TRACE Specification is an LF Project
TRACE, the receipt format, is hosted at the Linux Foundation as its own project (a Series of LF Projects). The specification, its intellectual property, its trademark and its conformance mark belong to that project under the Community Specification License and LF Projects policies, so no single company decides what passing the tests means. It has also been proposed to the Agentic AI Foundation as an early-stage Sandbox project.

Sponsor
OPAQUE funds the engineering, infrastructure and confidential-computing work behind AgenTrust, and contributes to the projects.

Open-source project home
Microsoft hosts the Agent Governance Toolkit, open-source software that checks what AI agents do against rules while they run. AgenTrust builds on it.

Confirmed founding partner
TII is the confirmed AgenTrust founding partner. It keeps the work grounded in what a country needs when it runs AI on infrastructure it controls.

Founding member and hardware partner
AMD is a founding partner of AgenTrust. AMD and OPAQUE published a joint implementation blueprint for hardware-backed Confidential AI, and the AgenTrust code checks signed reports from AMD SEV-SNP processors back to AMD's root certificate.

Founding member and hardware partner
Intel is a founding partner of AgenTrust. The AgenTrust code checks signed reports from Intel TDX processors (DCAP v4 quotes) back to Intel's root certificate, tested on real Google Cloud C3 machines.

Public framework collaboration
The author of the CSA Agentic Trust Framework (ATF) publicly supports the Agent Governance Toolkit (AGT) as a reference implementation, a working example of the framework, and invited implementers to help shape its conformance specification.

Ecosystem Training & Adoption Partner
PRONATIVE AI works with AgenTrust to teach enterprise engineering teams how to run AI agents whose actions can be checked. The partnership includes joint training sessions and the planned addition of cMCP, cA2A and TRACE to PRONATIVE AI's AI-Native Engineering Foundry curriculum. PRONATIVE AI is also adopting the Microsoft Agent Governance Toolkit in its own delivery work and will publish implementation guidance once that work is public.

Ecosystem partner
Governance and Ecosystem Sustainability Partner
XRSI brings experience in governance, community building and keeping open projects going over the long term to the AgenTrust adoption programme.
Technical collaborator
Trust Registry and Verifiable Record Collaboration
Action State Group is working with AgenTrust on an open way to contribute to the TRACE Trust Registry, connecting TRACE receipts to neutral record-keeping and witness services that anyone can check independently.

Open work, visible decisions, more maintainers
All AgenTrust work happens in public: the code, the proposals for changes, the evidence from real deployments and the test results. Publishing specifications is only half the job. The other half is building a group of contributors who can run, improve and look after the technology themselves.
Technical lead
Imran Siddique
AgenTrust
Overall design, code, the conformance tests, and growing new maintainers.
Governance & sustainability
XRSI
The named partner organisation for how the community is run, how others adopt the work, and keeping it going long term. Individual committee members will be named only once confirmed.
Committee formation
Community seats
Seats for adopters, maintainers, researchers and the public interest will be added as the steering committee takes shape.
Compliance adoption roadmap
From runtime evidence to compliance playbooks
We are writing public, practical guides (playbooks) for the rules and standards organisations already answer to. Each one will show which AgenTrust checks and which TRACE receipts help with which requirement. A playbook is a guide: using it does not certify you or make you legally compliant. None of these is published yet.

Architecting at Scale
AgenTrust founder Imran Siddique has written a practical book from the lessons of running large cloud and AI systems. It covers how to design systems that run across many machines, and how to build AI systems that you can still watch, control and trust to be correct once real users depend on them.
