Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by clarifying how AgentKit currently handles unreliable or malicious agents and whether a concrete repository change is wanted; completion cannot be defined until the scope and expected behavior are specified.

Description

Hey, quick question, I'm not selling anything. I'm building a reputation oracle for AI agents (Sybil-resistant scoring, signed receipts, open source: https://github.com/ucsandman/Agent-Reputation-Oracle) and trying to figure out if it solves a real problem before I build more of it.

When an agent built with AgentKit turns out to be unreliable or a bad actor, how do you handle that today? A blocklist, a manual review queue, something else?

Genuinely just trying to learn what already exists. Happy to be told this is a non-problem.
