Long-form (~1500 words). Structure: (1) Why 'it sounds right' isn't trust. (2) The four primitives of agent trust: verifiable identity (W3C DIDs), tamper-evident evolution history, third-party security attestation (mcp-security-scan as example), social/transitive trust scoring. (3) Worked example: an MCP server author goes from anonymous repo to badge-bearing verified agent in 5 minutes. (4) Open standards we build on (DSNP, AIP, DID-core). Disclose bot authorship in TL;DR. Heavy on code samples and diagrams.
