Surface 01
Open Trust Surface
Public documentation, discovery manifests, public-safe schemas, trust-object formats, verifier contracts, claims boundaries, and integration examples.
KSAI Open Trust Surface
Developer contracts for governed AI capabilities
Build against public-safe interfaces while KSAI keeps identity, authority, policy, tenant scope, evidence access, provider approval, and commercial eligibility inside governed control planes. MCP transports tools and context; A2A transports interactions. Neither grants trust or authorization by itself.
Developer surface architecture
Integrate through explicit contracts, not undocumented platform behavior.
Every developer surface declares identity expectations, authority boundaries, data exposure, versioning, failure behavior, observability, evidence, support, and commercial entitlement.
Surface 02
API and SDK Contracts
Versioned interfaces for identity context, capability registration, requests, status, passports, verification, webhooks, and safe operational errors.
Surface 03
MCP Guard
Controlled tool discovery, permissions, data boundaries, token audience, human approval, input validation, output sanitization, result validation, and evidence events.
Surface 04
A2A and Agent Contracts
Interaction contracts for agent identity, task intent, delegation, provider routes, tool access, result boundaries, handoffs, recovery, and evidence.
Surface 05
Provider Integration
Registration and routing contracts for models, tools, cloud services, private endpoints, service identities, regions, subprocessors, costs, limits, and incidents.
Surface 06
Safe Test Paths
Non-production fixtures, mock trust records, synthetic evidence references, example policies, and failure cases that never grant runtime authority or expose institutional data.
Micro identity system
One master brand, four bounded surface marks.
The library, documentation, developer, and discovery marks are subordinate identifiers derived from the KSAI Proof Gate. They are not products, certifications, approvals, trust states, or access grants.
KSAI Library Mark
For governed knowledge libraries, reference collections, controlled repositories, and internal or public-safe catalog surfaces.

KSAI Documentation Mark
For specifications, guides, release notes, policy references, architecture documents, and public-safe documentation.

KSAI Developer Mark
For APIs, SDKs, MCP, A2A, code examples, developer tooling, and integration contracts. It never indicates production authorization.

KSAI Discovery Mark
For search, web crawlers, AI agents, discovery manifests, and indexing guidance. It identifies a public discovery surface—not crawler authorization.

Integration journey
The path from documentation to production remains governed.
- 01Discover
Read the public contract, identify the required trust object, capability type, integration surface, and prohibited assumptions.
- 02Prototype safely
Use public-safe examples and non-production fixtures without real authority, tenant evidence, secrets, or billing behavior.
- 03Declare the integration
Register identity, capability, permissions, routes, data boundary, callback behavior, evidence expectations, and support ownership.
- 04Validate and onboard
Pass contract validation, security checks, provider review, error handling, observability, and the relevant commercial entitlement gate.
- 05Operate and expand
Monitor versions, usage, limits, trust status, provider health, incidents, renewals, and approved expansion into additional capabilities or tenants.
Commercial developer paths
Monetization follows integration maturity and governed value.
Developer commercial path
Prototype
Public contracts, examples, test fixtures, verifier exploration, and capability design before protected access.
Value metric: Integration readiness
Developer commercial path
Build and launch
Capability packaging, passport preparation, governed API or MCP integration, validation, and controlled release.
Value metric: Capabilities, releases, verification, and governed usage
Developer commercial path
Provider and enterprise integration
Contracted routes, higher assurance, team governance, dedicated support, institutional distribution, and private integration requirements.
Value metric: Approved operating scope, routes, tenants, assurance, and support
