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.

VERIFIED

countersign.signalry.ai serves a runner (/runner.mjs) that prints the stapled-receipt header (sp-1): --staple on a verified --deploy-claim or --verify, or --print-staple <claim id>, prints the Countersign-Receipt line and --staple-out merges the /.well-known/countersign-receipts.json document; health reports runner_staple sp-1 with stapled_receipts sr-1 and verifier_staple_offline sv-1 still reported and ok; llms.txt and OpenAPI document sp-1, without changing /spec/vectors or /spec/vectors/anchors

Make your agent prove its work

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.

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, check 3 content, check 4 content, check 5 content, check 6 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.

Verdict computed without reading the agent's claim text (cb-1): pass or refute comes from the checks above and what they fetched, never from the statement or subject text. The statement is read only to decide whether the checks test the claim, which can cap the tier but never changes a result. Method

Must not change (mnc-1)

2 of 2 must-not-change targets unchanged. Targets the claimant declared must not change as a side effect of the work, re-read on every run. A change fails the claim like any failed check.

What this receipt does not show (nr-1)

No gaps beyond the two boundaries every receipt has. 0 not run, 2 not checked. Derived by this service, never by the claimant. Shown, not scored.

Rerun it yourself (rr-1)

7 of 7 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.

Missed rechecks (mr-1)

no scheduled recheck window has passed without a run · next scheduled window: due 2026-11-05T00:02:40.530Z, grace until 2026-11-05T06:02:40.530Z. A window that passes without a run is recorded as an omission, so silence never reads as "held". Shown, not scored: never a pass, never a fail; the verdict, tier and track-record score don't read it.

Why the verdict changed (vc-1)

no verdict flip across 4 conclusive hosted runs. Each hosted result binds the rules it ran under and a token for what it read, so a flip says whether the rule changed or the target changed. Shown, not scored.

Evidence written by

Independent sources: 1 (1 passing in the latest run) · is-1: distinct (writer, origin) pairs among the checks whose writer is independent, where origin is the registrable domain, the GitHub owner/repo, or the claimant's runner. Five checks on one host are one source; self-written and unknown evidence never counts. Sources: signalry.ai (third party service, checks 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Shown, not scored.

Evidence independence (ew-1): 7 third party service · 7 of 7 check(s) read records an independent party writes. Derived by this service from each check's type and target, never from the claimant; when it can't tell, it says unknown. Shown, not scored: it doesn't change the tier, limits or track-record score.

Checks exercised (kc-1): yes · every check kind in this claim has been seen to pass and refute on known-answer canaries, and none is currently failing (kinds: http_contains, http_json, http_status). Known-answer canaries under checker countersign-hosted/0.3.2, rules csr-1; see /trust. Shown, not scored.

Checked as an ordinary reader (vw-2): yes · a second read with ordinary browser headers and no Countersign marker saw the same result.

Receipts (newest first)

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.
