CertifiedData for AI Agents
Certified synthetic datasets, Ed25519-signed decisions, and policy-governed transactions — each one producing a proof artifact anyone can verify independently, without trusting our servers.
Connect directly over HTTP, the TypeScript/Python SDK, or the native MCP server for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Cursor.
How it works in 30 seconds
- 01Generate
Call the sandbox or production endpoint with a template, prompt, schema, or upload.
- 02Certify
The platform SHA-256-hashes the dataset and issues an Ed25519-signed certificate.
- 03Verify
Any third party fetches /.well-known/signing-keys.json and verifies the signature locally.
- 04Log decisions
AI systems that consume certified artifacts record their decisions to the signed, append-only ledger.

});
const verified = await cd.verify(cert_id); // client-side Ed25519from certifieddata import CertifiedData

verified = cd.verify(result.cert_id) # SHA-256 + Ed25519SDK reference → · client-side Ed25519 verifier is zero-dep WebCrypto.

Drop CertifiedData into Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or Cursor
Our stdio MCP server exposes the agent commerce, identity, and licensing rails to any MCP-compatible runtime. Every mutating tool call returns a machine-verifiable proof artifact — signed receipt, rotated token, or attestation challenge — that a third party can verify without trusting us.

Current MCP scope is commerce, identity, licensing, and receipt verification. Dataset generation and decision logging are available over HTTP and the SDK today.
Public evidence surfaces
Every artifact, decision, and certificate is publicly verifiable — no account, no API key, no trust in our servers required.
/api/log/v1/registry/counts/api/decision-logCertificate transparency log
Append-only, hash-chained log of every certificate issued. Each entry links to the previous record, making undetected tampering impossible.
Open log →Machine-readableArtifact registry
Public registry of certified datasets and artifacts with metadata, fingerprints, and verification endpoints. Fully machine-readable.
Open log →Ed25519-signed · chain-linkedDecision log
Live public feed of AI decisions logged against certified artifacts. Records are signed, chain-linked, and independently verifiable.
Open log →All records are verifiable using public Ed25519 keys at /.well-known/signing-keys.json.
EU AI Act alignment
The same artifacts and logs that power the evidence surfaces above are what auditors need for Article 12 and Article 19 compliance. Each card links to the mapped documentation.

Paste any cert_, scert_, rcpt_, or drec_ id. Signature is verified locally in your browser against public keys at /.well-known/signing-keys.json.

Public verification surfaces
Every record resolves to a public endpoint
Agents should not have to trust a dashboard screenshot. Every CertifiedData record is designed to resolve into a public verification surface that can be checked by software. Use these endpoints to close the trust loop for certificates, receipts, logs, and decision records.
Verify a certificate
/verify?cert={certificate_id}Confirm an AI artifact certificate exists, has a valid signature, has not been revoked, and points to the expected artifact fingerprint. When an artifact file or SHA-256 hash is supplied, verification can also confirm the supplied artifact matches the certified fingerprint.
- Is this certificate real?
- Was it signed by CertifiedData?
- Has the payload been altered?
- Has it been revoked?
- Does this file or hash match the certified artifact fingerprint?
Verify a payment or agent-commerce receipt
/api/payments/verify/{receipt_id}Confirm an agent transaction, purchase, approval, or entitlement produced a signed receipt.
- Was this transaction receipt issued?
- Which rail or transaction path produced it?
- What amount, policy, or entitlement was recorded?
- Was the receipt payload signed?
- Has the receipt been altered?
Verify decision lineage records
/api/decision-log/{decision_id}/verifyConfirm an AI decision, approval, denial, recommendation, or agent action was recorded with signed evidence. Live signature verification against the public decision log.
- Was this decision record signed?
- Which policy version applied?
- What outcome was selected?
- Which artifact, model, or workflow context was referenced?
- Does the record link to the prior decision entry?
Checkpoint-level verification
/api/decision-log/checkpoints/{checkpoint_id}/verifyInspect certificate signing keys
/.well-known/signing-keys.jsonPublic keys used for certificate and transparency verification. Resolve certificate payloads, artifact records, manifest certificates, and certificate transparency entries.
Inspect decision signing keys
/.well-known/decision-signing-keys.jsonPublic keys used for decision lineage verification. Resolve decision records, policy outcome records, and agent action records.
Certificate verification vs artifact integrity
These are two separate checks. A certificate can be valid even when a supplied file does not match it — the certificate signature is valid, but the file or hash being checked is not the same artifact fingerprint recorded in the certificate.
Agents should evaluate both fields: certificate status and artifact hash match. Only treat the artifact as verified when both the certificate is valid and the supplied artifact hash matches the certified fingerprint.
Minimal agent workflow
- 01Receive a certificate ID, receipt ID, or decision record ID.
- 02Resolve the matching public verification endpoint.
- 03Retrieve the signed payload and verification result.
- 04Retrieve the relevant public signing key from the .well-known endpoint.
- 05Check signature validity, revocation status, and chain status where applicable.
- 06If an artifact is involved, compute SHA-256 over the artifact bytes.
- 07Compare the computed hash to the certified fingerprint.
- 08Store the verification result with the agent action or downstream workflow.
This is the difference between a claim and a verifiable record.

Error taxonomy
Every error returns a structured error_code, HTTP status, and retryable flag so agent code can branch without parsing free-text messages. A representative slice:
| error_code | Retryable | Remediation |
|---|---|---|
| rate_limit_exceeded | yes | Honor retry_after_seconds, then retry. |
| invalid_input | no | Fix per the details[] array in the response body. |
| internal_error | yes | Retry with exponential backoff; include request_id when reporting. |
