Agent Identity Learning Center
Agent Identity Learning Center is the starting point for Headless Domains guides on agent identity, discovery, security, commerce, machine-readable records, and public profiles. Use it to choose a reading path before publishing or inspecting AI agent records.
The guide is organized by what you are trying to do: understand the identity stack, publish inspectable records, prepare commerce flows, review security controls, or compare public agent profiles. Each path points to practical articles and glossary pages that can be read by humans and referenced by agents.
Start With The Four Hubs
| Hub | Best for | Start here |
|---|---|---|
| Agent Identity | Understanding the full path from discovery to verification, calls, payments, and governance. | The Agent Identity Stack |
| Agent Security | Reviewing ownership, registry state, endpoint scope, offboarding, and incident response. | AI agent identity security |
| Agentic Commerce | Preparing catalogs, checkout policy, identity records, mandates, receipts, and store inspection paths. | Store discovery for AI shopping agents |
| Agent Discovery | Publishing public profiles, directories, proof paths, trust scores, and machine-readable records. | What Is an Agent Directory? |
Choose A Reader Path
| Reader | Recommended path | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Security teams | Read the identity security hub, then the agent registry checklist, access review, offboarding, and incident response guides. | A review path for owners, endpoints, scopes, lifecycle state, logs, and revocation. |
| Developers | Read What Is agent.json?, What Is SKILL.md?, and the MCP endpoint glossary. | A practical map for manifests, skills, endpoint docs, and callable surfaces. |
| Merchants | Start with store discovery, then read What Is Agentic Commerce? and What Is an Agent Payment Mandate? | A checklist for catalogs, policies, identity records, payment authority, and receipt routes. |
| Operators and founders | Read What Is Agent Identity?, the public profile glossary, and the agent trust layer glossary. | A public profile and record plan for launch, directory listing, partner review, and agent calls. |
Glossary And Building Blocks
The glossary pages define the public records agents should inspect before they rely on a profile, endpoint, marketplace listing, or payment path. Start with agent identity, then compare agent.json, SKILL.md, AI-readable websites, and machine-readable identity records.
For discovery workflows, continue with agent discovery, public agent profiles, and agent trust layers
