Conformance Levels

AXAG defines three conformance levels that represent progressive implementation maturity.

Basic Conformance​

Minimum viable annotation. Required fields: axag-intent, axag-entity, axag-action-type.

Suitable for: initial adoption, proof of concept, internal tooling.

Intermediate Conformance​

Production-ready annotation. Adds: axag-required-parameters, axag-scope, axag-risk-level, axag-description.

Suitable for: production deployments, external-facing products, agent-accessible interfaces.

Full Conformance​

Enterprise-grade annotation. Adds all applicable optional dimensions: preconditions, postconditions, side effects, confirmation, approval, idempotency, roles, rate limits.

Suitable for: regulated industries, high-trust agent interactions, enterprise standards compliance.

Claiming Conformance​

Implementations SHOULD declare their conformance level in the Semantic Manifest:

{
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "conformance_level": "intermediate",
  "operations": ["product.search", "product.create"]
}
