Agent ID
The unique identifier assigned to an AI agent upon BorealisMark registration, serving as the permanent reference for all certification records.
Explanation
When an AI agent is registered on BorealisMark, it receives an Agent ID tied to its capabilities, version, and developer information. All subsequent audits, trust scores, tier assignments, and audit histories are indexed under this ID.
Why it matters
Identities are the foundation of trust. Without a stable Agent ID, there is no way to build a track record - every audit starts from zero. The Agent ID creates continuity across the agent's lifecycle.
How Borealis uses it
The Agent ID is linked to a BTS License Key (Project Merlin). The key binds the ID permanently to the Borealis Trust Network. Third-party verification happens via the public /v1/verify/:agentId endpoint.
