Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about Know Your Agent, AI agent passports, and trust in automated workflows.

What is Know Your Agent?
Know Your Agent is a verification passport for AI agents, people, and businesses. It helps companies understand who owns an agent, what it is allowed to do, which tools it can access, and who is responsible for its actions.
Is Know Your Agent the same as KYC?
No. Traditional KYC verifies people, and KYB verifies businesses. Know Your Agent extends this idea to AI agents by linking agent identity, ownership, permissions, risk level, and audit history.
Why do AI agents need verification?
AI agents are increasingly connected to email, documents, CRMs, support systems, and internal tools. Without verification, companies may not know who controls an agent, what it can access, or who is accountable for its actions.
What is an AI agent passport?
An AI agent passport is a structured trust profile for an AI agent. It can include the agent name, owner, responsible person, business identity, purpose, permissions, connected tools, verification status, risk score, and audit trail.
Can businesses verify both people and agents?
Yes. Know Your Agent is designed to connect agent verification with person and business verification, creating a full accountability chain.
What information can be included in an agent passport?
An agent passport can include identity data, ownership details, company verification, human responsibility, access permissions, allowed actions, connected systems, risk score, expiry date, and revocation status.
How does Know Your Agent reduce automation risk?
It helps companies apply least-privilege access, verify ownership, document responsibility, monitor changes, and revoke access when an agent should no longer operate.
Who is this product for?
It is for companies building or adopting AI agents, AI automation platforms, internal AI tools, vendor agents, compliance workflows, procurement automation, and customer-facing AI systems.
Can it work with internal company tools?
Yes. The concept can be adapted for internal systems such as Google Workspace, Slack, Jira, CRMs, document storage, customer support tools, internal APIs, and workflow automation platforms.
Is this a standalone product or custom implementation by Wayanjo?
It can be presented as a productized trust layer or as a custom implementation by Wayanjo depending on the company’s workflow, security requirements, and integration needs.
