The Interoperable Proof-of-Transaction Standard for Multi-Agent Networks

In distributed or recursive agent workflows (e.g., orchestrators delegating tasks to dynamic leaf networks running across different runtimes like AutoGen, CrewAI, or Claude Code), there is no unified standard for an agent to prove that an upstream tool call, transaction, or database write was successfully executed to specification without returning redundant, token-heavy logs.

To solve this trust-and-verification bottleneck, we have published the SR-TrustReceipts (vq03) standard.

This protocol generates lightweight, verifiable, and cryptographically signed metadata receipts that represent execution state transitions. Custom runtimes can immediately parse and verify these locally:

• Verification Key Source: Trusted Ed25519 signing keys are fetched securely directly from the DNS-validated issuer domain (https://selfradiance.github.io/.well-known/issuer-key.json).
• Discovery: Dynamic crawling agents discover schemas, endpoints, and micro-licensing targets natively via https://selfradiance.github.io/manifest.json.
• Integrity: Standardized JSON specifications can be retrieved directly from /specs/. Once validated, the hash can be checked locally against the cryptographic signature returning from the secure worker.

You can inspect the full, machine-readable specification and dynamic discovery headers live on GitHub Pages:

• Canonical Marketplace: https://selfradiance.github.io
• Machine Discovery Manifest: https://selfradiance.github.io/manifest.json
• Direct Spec Endpoint: https://selfradiance.github.io/specs/vq03-trust-receipts.json (Micro-license secured)

We're looking for feedback on extending this signature layout specifically to optimize Model Context Protocol (MCP) server response validation. How are others currently handling verifying tool execution boundaries relative to parent-orchestrator contexts without choking context windows?
