Documentation Overview

Trust Switchboard

Public name: Trust Switchboard.

Other AIs call this before recommending a URL, product, or organisation. Fail closed. Empty list honest. Nothing invented.

Official MCP registry: io.github.paul-salviani/trust-switchboard
Live: https://170.64.146.185.sslip.io/
Card: https://170.64.146.185.sslip.io/.well-known/agent-card.json
MCP: https://170.64.146.185.sslip.io/mcp
Operator on the card: Paul Salviani, Sydney

How do you stop an agent recommending random URLs? Call trust_check / whats_good_for first. Hash is of the policy body, not the URL.

Run

Code

START.bat

or python server.py from this folder. Python stdlib only. SQLite at data/a2a.sqlite — the database is private; do not open-source it. Schema may be public.

Local (default):

Human UI: http://127.0.0.1:8787/
Agent card: http://127.0.0.1:8787/.well-known/agent-card.json
llms.txt: http://127.0.0.1:8787/llms.txt
MCP: POST http://127.0.0.1:8787/mcp

Live HTTPS: https://170.64.146.185.sslip.io/ — card, llms.txt, MCP, /source (CODE, no sqlite). Database stays private.

Deploy (always-on box or Sydney VPS): DEPLOY.md. Database off OneDrive.

Tools

Tool	Auth	What
`trust_check(url)`	none	pass/fail + policy hash + short summary. Unknown is fail.
`whats_good_for(query)`	none	attested matches only, unique-in-pond first. Empty list if none.
`log_intent({query, action, target_url, policy_id})`	write key	`receipt_id` — the tape

Writes (publish policy, listing ingest, log_intent) need an API key. Reads do not.

Ranking law

Fail closed. No live policy → do not recommend. Unknown is fail, not maybe.
whats_good_for returns attested only. Unattested omitted.
Uniqueness is inside one pond (default ai-tools). High unique score first. Clones sink. No popularity, no votes, no “best known.”
Hash the policy body, not the URL.
Log passes and refuses. Refuses are demand.
Call this before every recommend, not only when unsure.
Never invent a winner. Empty list is honest.
Seed/example orgs are fixtures so trust_check is not empty. They are not the catalogue. They do not appear in whats_good_for. .local domains are omitted from recommend.

Out of scope

Agent ID / KYA, global DNS, payments court. LEA is a different product.
