attestix

Install

# Stable 0.4.0:
pip install attestix

# Pre-release 0.4.1rc1 (opt in with --pre):
pip install --pre attestix

Stable 0.4.0 ships only the canonical attestix.* namespace. The older flat layout (from services... import, from auth... import, ...) keeps working via thin deprecation shims that emit a DeprecationWarning on first import and are scheduled for removal in v0.5.0. Update imports to from attestix.services... import at your earliest convenience.

CLI

attestix status                          # System overview
attestix init --name MyBot               # Create agent identity
attestix compliance <agent-id>           # Check EU AI Act compliance
attestix verify <agent-id>               # Verify identity cryptographically
attestix audit <agent-id>                # View hash-chained audit trail
attestix credential --list               # List W3C Verifiable Credentials

Verify in any language

Attestix credentials are issued once (Python core or cloud) and verify anywhere. Six independent verifier implementations share one conformance suite (spec/verify/v1): verify offline, no Python runtime, zero trust in the issuer. The verifiers are verifier-only: issuance stays in the Python core.

Every verifier checks the same canonical-JSON form (RFC 8785) and Ed25519 signatures (RFC 8032) against the shared spec/verify/v1 vectors. Verify in the browser at https://attestix.io/verify, or read the bundle wire-format at https://attestix.io/spec/bundle/v1.

Why Attestix

On August 2, 2026, the EU AI Act enforcement begins. Fines reach EUR 35M or 7% of global revenue.

Existing compliance tools (Credo AI, Holistic AI, Vanta) are organizational dashboards. None produce machine-readable, cryptographically verifiable proof that an AI agent can present to another agent, regulator, or system.

Agent identity is fragmenting across walled gardens (Microsoft Entra, AWS AgentCore, Google A2A, ERC-8004). No single tool combines agent identity + EU AI Act compliance + verifiable credentials in one protocol.

Attestix fills this gap.

Modules

Quick Start

As an MCP Server (Claude Code)

Add to your Claude Code config (~/.claude.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "attestix": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "attestix.main"]
    }
  }
}

Then ask Claude:

"Create an identity for my data analysis agent with capabilities: data_analysis, reporting"

As a Python Library

from attestix.services.identity_service import IdentityService
from attestix.services.compliance_service import ComplianceService
from attestix.services.credential_service import CredentialService

identity_svc = IdentityService()
compliance_svc = ComplianceService()
credential_svc = CredentialService()

# 1. Create an agent identity
agent = identity_svc.create_identity(
    display_name="MyAgent",
    source_protocol="manual",
    capabilities=["data_analysis", "reporting"],
    description="Analyzes quarterly financial data",
    issuer_name="VibeTensor",
    expiry_days=365,
)
agent_id = agent["agent_id"]      # attestix:f9bdb7a94ccb40f1
agent_did = agent["issuer"]["did"]  # did:key:z6Mk...

# 2. Create a compliance profile
profile = compliance_svc.create_compliance_profile(
    agent_id=agent_id,
    risk_category="limited",
    provider_name="VibeTensor",
    intended_purpose="Analyzes quarterly financial data",
)

# 3. Issue a verifiable credential
credential = credential_svc.issue_credential(
    subject_id=agent_id,
    credential_type="AgentIdentityCredential",
    issuer_name="VibeTensor",
    claims={"capabilities": ["data_analysis", "reporting"]},
    expiry_days=365,
)
print(credential["proof"]["type"])  # Ed25519Signature2020

For a complete end-to-end walkthrough covering all 9 modules, run the quickstart:

git clone https://github.com/VibeTensor/attestix.git
cd attestix
pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m attestix.main

EU AI Act Compliance Workflow

Take a high-risk AI agent from zero to fully compliant:

1. create_agent_identity        --> UAIT with DID (Ed25519 signed)
2. record_training_data         --> Article 10 data governance
3. record_model_lineage         --> Article 11 technical documentation
4. create_compliance_profile    --> Risk categorization + obligations
5. record_conformity_assessment --> Article 43 third-party assessment
6. generate_declaration_of_conformity --> Annex V declaration + W3C VC
7. create_verifiable_presentation     --> Signed VP for regulator

High-risk systems are blocked from self-assessment:

record_conformity_assessment(assessment_type="self", ...)
--> ERROR: "High-risk AI systems require third_party conformity assessment"
