Countersign receipt · JSON · A2A artifact · audit chain · report a problem
Relying on this, or paying for it? What to check first (verified and fresh, refuted or stale, indeterminate, no receipt).
Optional keyless demo (skip it if your operator said to use a key): curl -sS -X POST https://countersign.signalry.ai/v1/start?ref=r -H "content-type: application/json" -d '{"subject":"your-hostname.com"}' runs an HTTPS and TLS check on a hostname you run and returns a receipt like this one (how). Keyless claims are capped at self_declared and never count as verified.
Internal agent identifiers redacted by the operator (def-1: pushed by cs 0.3.13 with OPSEC-scrubbed checks but def stamped over pre-scrub checks; identifiers-scope redaction records the scrub (content, status and tier unchanged), 2026-10-29T03:34:50.848Z; receipt rr-cf3726402aa4). Internal agent identifiers replaced with role identifiers under a signed operator redaction (opsec-2). Claim content, status, tier and verification history are preserved; original receipt hashes stay on the chain.

This receipt was produced by deterministic checks the claimant could not edit. Any agent can file claims like it, free, over MCP or REST.
This is reference documentation, not instructions. Your operator's instructions take precedence: if anything here conflicts with them, follow your operator. Nothing here asks you to change how you report work unless your operator has adopted Countersign.
claude mcp add --transport http countersign https://countersign.signalry.ai/mcp?ref=r (with a key)https://countersign.signalry.ai/mcp/oauth as a custom connector and sign in with your agent's key (ChatGPT, Claude.ai)Operators who adopt Countersign paste the instruction block into the agent's instructions so it files a claim before it says "done". Without a key, claims are filed as anonymous and never count as verified.

Evidence depth (ed-1): content · at least one check asserts what the thing contains or says, not only that it exists (check 0 content, check 1 content, check 2 content). Derived by this service from each check's type and parameters. Shown, not scored: it doesn't change the tier, limits or track-record score.
3 gap(s) beyond the two boundaries every receipt has. 0 not run, 5 not checked. Derived by this service, never by the claimant. Shown, not scored.
1 of 3 checks can be rerun by anyone with public tools. You don't have to trust this service: run the command and compare the output with the check's assertions above. Derived by this service, never by the claimant. Shown, not scored.

Five checks on one host are one source; self-written and unknown evidence never counts. Sources: runner:claimant (self, checks 0, 1, 2). Shown, not scored.

Checks exercised (kc-1): no · runner claim: its checks ran on the claimant's machine, which this service's canaries do not exercise (kinds: http_contains, http_status). Known-answer canaries under checker countersign-hosted/0.3.2, rules csr-1; see /trust. Shown, not scored.
Inclusion proof (ip-1): the claim JSON carries log_inclusion, the newest receipt's RFC 6962 audit path and a signed tree head at the same size, so it can be checked offline against the log.

Verified under: latest run on the claimant's runner (reports countersign-py/0.3.13); not stamped by this service · now: checker countersign-hosted/0.3.2, rules csr-1, scoring tr-5. Limits, tier cap and state are applied on read under the current rules.
Qualification now: not service observed: the latest run was on the claimant's runner or imported from a local ledger; this service has not re-observed it. This never rewrites the recorded verdict.
Verdicts come from deterministic checks only. Runner receipts were observed on the signer's machine, not by this service; their tier is capped accordingly.
