These are the right questions, and honest answer is Sockridge only solves one layer of the trust problem, it’s verifiable identity and capability claims. The gatekeeper checks that what an agent advertises actually matches what’s running at its endpoint. You can’t fake your way through A2A compliance, a live ping, and an AI quality score.
Data leakage and output correctness are deeper and largely unsolved across the industry. Mutual agreements and audit logs help at the access layer, but what happens inside an agent’s runtime is still a black box, for Sockridge and everyone else.
Rest it depends on users end, where the user is given flexibility to maintain their standard of agents relationship. Mine focus is entirely on the area you just mentioned and i hope i can find some method to secure this line further.
