DIF Evaluation — Minimal Example (Summary)

Correction notice — 2026-07-20

This evaluation is retained as originally written. Its stated field values do not match the manifest it names. examples/basic-agent.json declares autonomy.level 2 · risk_profile.level medium · data_handling.stores_personal_data true · audit_surface.logging detailed · audit_surface.reconstructability full, and agent_id example.customer.support.tier1.

The evaluation text below reports a lower-autonomy, low-risk profile that the file does not carry. The record is preserved rather than rewritten; readers should take the manifest itself as authoritative. Re-running the checklist against the current file is recorded as outstanding work.

This document summarizes the Declarative Integrity Framework (DIF) assessment of the Minimal Example Agent Manifest.

Verdict

PASS — Declaratively coherent baseline example.

Observations

• Required declaration fields are present.
• Autonomy level (1) is consistent with low risk posture.
• Stopping authority is declared and structurally coherent.
• Audit surface is minimal but acceptable for low-risk usage.
• Data handling declaration is clear (no personal data stored).

Notes

This evaluation assesses declarative coherence only. It does not enforce runtime guarantees. It does not modify the normative specification.
