Changelog#

The changelog is part of the standard's source and is reproduced here in full, newest first.

0.1.1-draft (2026-10-18)

Editorial. The reputation route of the breach clause (§5.9) and the Agent Reputations entry of §9 point to the claims of breach that Agent Reputations 0.5.0-draft defines (its §4.8 and §4.9). A party to the agreement files a claim against another party bound by it, the bureau shows the claim as an open claim, and the bureau shows a breach only once the other party acknowledged it or a forum or a court found it. No field, grade, validation rule, or fixture changes.

0.1.0-draft (2026-10-18)

The first version. An Agent NDA is usually the first agreement parties sign, and later documents refer to it. The specification defines the document and its identifier; the clauses and their grades (the promises are recorded, the parties, instants and signatures are evidence, and nothing in the document is enforced); one-way, mutual and multilateral agreements; flow-down to subcontractors; open offers and acceptance; the mandate an organization's signer needs; the lifecycle; and references by identifier and digest, with the test for whether a party is bound. Agent RFP 0.9.0-draft, Agent SoW 0.24.0-draft, Agent Processes 0.6.0-draft and Agent Mandate 0.5.0-draft refer to it. The fixtures in conformance/ pin the grading and the example's identifier and digests.
