Verify an agent's live address and billing account before sharing a chat link, diagnosing a deploy mismatch, or deciding why two hosts share an identity.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Agent identity

Read the signing identity, model payer, and env metadata from their own sources.
Never print tokens, private keys, or recovery phrases in diagnostics.

## 1. Verify the live agent

Query the configured Host `/info` endpoint and read `address`. Use the actual
service port, not an assumed hostname or a copied `AGENT_ADDRESS` value.

```bash
curl --fail --silent --show-error http://localhost:8000/info \
  | python3 -c 'import json,sys; print(json.load(sys.stdin)["address"])'
```

The key determines the address. `AGENT_EMAIL` and `IS_EMAIL_ACTIVE` are email
metadata. Env address notes, server inventories, and DNS names can be stale.

## 2. Check the selected account

All env settings default to `$AGENT_CONFIG_PATH/keys.env`, normally `~/.co/keys.env`.
Entering a project never loads its `.env`. `co --env-file /path/to/app.env …`
explicitly selects a different file; inherited process settings win. With explicit selection, CLI identity readers use an existing key in the file's
adjacent `.co/`, falling back to the global key when it has none. `co init` initializes global configuration;
project creation requires `co create` or an explicit `co init ./`.
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add openonion/connectonion/agent-identity@sha256:dc42737fc7a03e88

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260907.73b9019, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
