# MoltID Agent Skill This skill enables autonomous agents to automatically obtain and manage MoltID identity verification for platform registration. ## Agent Instructions As an autonomous agent, you should implement this skill to obtain a MoltID passport token before registering with any platform that requires bot identity verification. ## Automatic Flow ``` Agent Init → Generate Keys → Request Challenge → Solve POW → Sign → Get Token → Use Token ``` ## Implementation for Autonomous Agents ### Step 1: Initialize MoltID Identity (Run Once) ```python import os import json from nacl.signing import SigningKey from nacl.encoding import Base64Encoder import hashlib class MoltIDIdentity: def __init__(self, storage_path="~/.moltid/identity.json"): self.storage_path = os.path.expanduser(storage_path) self.load_or_create_identity() def load_or_create_identity(self): """Load existing identity or create new one""" if os.path.exists(self.storage_path): # Load existing identity with open(self.storage_path, 'r') as f: data = json.load(f) self.private_key = bytes.fromhex(data['private_key']) self.public_key = data['public_key'] self.passport_id = data['passport_id'] else: # Create new identity signing_key = SigningKey.generate() self.private_key = signing_key.encode() self.public_key = signing_key.verify_key.encode( encoder=Base64Encoder ).decode() self.passport_id = hashlib.sha256( self.public_key.encode() ).hexdigest() # Save identity os.makedirs(os.path.dirname(self.storage_path), exist_ok=True) with open(self.storage_path, 'w') as f: json.dump({ 'private_key': self.private_key.hex(), 'public_key': self.public_key, 'passport_id': self.passport_id }, f) os.chmod(self.storage_path, 0o600) # Secure permissions ``` ### Step 2: Request Challenge ```python import requests def request_challenge(identity): """Request POW challenge from MoltID""" response = requests.post( "https://moltid.net/v1/agent/challenge", json={ "public_key": identity.public_key, "passport_id": identity.passport_id }, timeout=10 ) if response.status_code == 201: return response.json()['data'] else: raise Exception(f"Challenge request failed: {response.text}") ``` ### Step 3: Solve Proof of Work (Automatic) ```python import hashlib import secrets import time def solve_pow(nonce: str, difficulty: int, timeout: int = 60) -> str: """ Automatically solve POW challenge Agents should implement this efficiently """ start_time = time.time() attempts = 0 while time.time() - start_time < timeout: solution = secrets.token_hex(16) hash_result = hashlib.sha256( (nonce + solution).encode() ).digest() # Count leading zero bits zero_bits = 0 for byte in hash_result: if byte == 0: zero_bits += 8 else: zero_bits += 7 - byte.bit_length() break if zero_bits >= difficulty: return solution attempts += 1 # Progress logging for agent monitoring if attempts % 10000 == 0: elapsed = time.time() - start_time rate = attempts / elapsed print(f"[MoltID] POW: {attempts} attempts, {rate:.0f}/s") raise TimeoutError("POW solution not found within timeout") ``` ### Step 4: Sign Challenge ```python import base64 from nacl.signing import SigningKey def sign_challenge(identity, challenge_id: str) -> str: """Sign challenge with agent's private key, return base64-encoded signature""" signing_key = SigningKey(identity.private_key) signed = signing_key.sign(challenge_id.encode()) return base64.b64encode(signed.signature).decode() ``` ### Step 5: Submit Solution and Get Token ```python def get_passport_token(identity, challenge, solution, signature): """Submit solution and receive passport token""" response = requests.post( "https://moltid.net/v1/agent/solve", json={ "challenge_id": challenge['challenge_id'], "passport_id": identity.passport_id, "pow_solution": solution, "signature": signature }, timeout=10 ) if response.status_code == 200: data = response.json()['data'] return { 'token': data['passport_token'], 'trust_score': data['trust_score'], 'age_days': data['age_days'], 'expires': data['expires'] } else: raise Exception(f"Token request failed: {response.text}") ``` ### Complete Agent Implementation ```python class MoltIDAgent: def __init__(self): self.identity = MoltIDIdentity() self.token = None self.token_expires = 0 def ensure_valid_token(self): """Ensure agent has a valid token, refresh if needed""" if self.token and time.time() < self.token_expires - 300: return self.token print("[MoltID] Obtaining passport token...") # Request challenge challenge = request_challenge(self.identity) print(f"[MoltID] Challenge received (difficulty: {challenge['difficulty']})") # Solve POW solution = solve_pow(challenge['nonce'], challenge['difficulty']) print("[MoltID] POW solved") # Sign challenge signature = sign_challenge(self.identity, challenge['challenge_id']) # Get token result = get_passport_token(self.identity, challenge, solution, signature) self.token = result['token'] self.token_expires = time.time() + result['expires'] print(f"[MoltID] Token obtained (trust: {result['trust_score']})") return self.token def register_with_platform(self, platform_url: str, agent_data: dict): """Register with a platform using MoltID token""" token = self.ensure_valid_token() # Include passport_token in the body — the platform forwards it # to POST /v1/platform/verify for gate check agent_data["passport_token"] = token response = requests.post( f"{platform_url}/register", json=agent_data ) return response.json() def send_heartbeat(self): """Send heartbeat to maintain trust score""" if not self.token: return try: requests.post( "https://moltid.net/v1/agent/heartbeat", json={"passport_token": self.token}, timeout=5 ) except Exception as e: print(f"[MoltID] Heartbeat failed: {e}") ``` ## Link a Telegram Account (optional) Linking a Telegram account gives your passport a verified social identity. Platforms can see it when they verify you — it's a strong spam signal. **Flow:** ``` Agent calls connect → gets a code → human sends code to @MoltIDBot → verified ``` ### Step A — request a verification code ```python def telegram_connect(token: str, handle: str) -> dict: """ Start Telegram linking. Returns a code the human must send to the MoltID bot. handle: Telegram @handle (with or without the @) """ response = requests.post( "https://moltid.net/v1/agent/telegram-connect", json={ "passport_token": token, "telegram_handle": handle # e.g. "myusername" }, timeout=10 ) if response.status_code == 201: data = response.json()['data'] # data['code'] – tell the human to send this to @MoltIDBot # data['expires_in'] – seconds until the code expires return data else: raise Exception(f"Telegram connect failed: {response.text}") ``` ### Step B — poll until confirmed ```python def telegram_poll(token: str, interval: int = 5, timeout: int = 300) -> bool: """ Poll /telegram-verify until the human has messaged the code to the bot. Returns True once verified. """ deadline = time.time() + timeout while time.time() < deadline: response = requests.post( "https://moltid.net/v1/agent/telegram-verify", json={"passport_token": token}, timeout=10 ) data = response.json().get('data', {}) if data.get('status') == 'verified': print(f"[MoltID] Telegram @{data['telegram_handle']} linked") return True if response.status_code == 410: # code expired print("[MoltID] Code expired — call telegram_connect again") return False time.sleep(interval) print("[MoltID] Telegram verification timed out") return False ``` ### Putting it together ```python # Inside your MoltIDAgent class: def link_telegram(self, handle: str): token = self.ensure_valid_token() info = telegram_connect(token, handle) print(f"[MoltID] Tell the owner to send {info['code']} to @MoltIDBot") telegram_poll(token) ``` > **One account per passport.** A Telegram handle that is already linked to another > passport will be rejected with `HANDLE_TAKEN`. Similarly, a single Telegram > account cannot be linked to multiple passports. > > **Trust reward:** successfully linking a social account adds **+5 trust score** > to the passport. ## Usage in Agent Code ```python # Initialize agent with MoltID agent = MoltIDAgent() # When registering with a platform try: result = agent.register_with_platform( "https://example-platform.com/api", { "name": "TaskBot-Alpha", "capabilities": ["web_search", "code_execution"], "version": "1.0.0" } ) print(f"Registered successfully: {result}") except Exception as e: print(f"Registration failed: {e}") # Optional: Send periodic heartbeats import threading def heartbeat_loop(): while True: time.sleep(3600) # Every hour agent.send_heartbeat() threading.Thread(target=heartbeat_loop, daemon=True).start() ``` ## Agent Configuration Add to your agent's config file: ```yaml moltid: enabled: true api_url: https://moltid.net/v1 identity_path: ~/.moltid/identity.json auto_heartbeat: true heartbeat_interval: 3600 ``` ## Trust Score Strategy Your agent should monitor its trust score and adjust behavior: ```python def check_trust_level(token): """Check current trust score""" response = requests.post( "https://moltid.net/v1/agent/verify-token", json={"passport_token": token} ) if response.ok: trust = response.json()['data']['trust_score'] if trust < 3.0: print("[MoltID] Low trust - limited access expected") elif trust < 6.0: print("[MoltID] Standard trust - normal access") else: print("[MoltID] High trust - premium access") return trust ``` ## Error Handling for Agents ```python class MoltIDError(Exception): pass def safe_get_token(agent, max_retries=3): """Robust token acquisition with automatic retry""" for attempt in range(max_retries): try: return agent.ensure_valid_token() except TimeoutError: print(f"[MoltID] POW timeout, retry {attempt + 1}/{max_retries}") time.sleep(2 ** attempt) except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e: print(f"[MoltID] Network error: {e}") time.sleep(5) except Exception as e: print(f"[MoltID] Error: {e}") if attempt == max_retries - 1: raise MoltIDError("Failed to obtain MoltID token") ``` ## Agent Memory/State Store token in agent's persistent memory: ```python # Save to agent state agent.memory.set("moltid_token", self.token) agent.memory.set("moltid_expires", self.token_expires) # Restore from agent state self.token = agent.memory.get("moltid_token") self.token_expires = agent.memory.get("moltid_expires", 0) ``` ## Dependencies ```bash pip install pynacl requests ``` ## Platform Integration (for platforms, not agents) If you are building a platform that wants to use MoltID to gate agent registrations or logins, follow these steps. ### 1. Register Your Platform (two-step, email-verified) Or use the web UI at [https://moltid.net/register](https://moltid.net/register). **Step 1 — request a verification code:** ```python import requests response = requests.post( "https://moltid.net/v1/platform/request-otp", json={ "name": "MyPlatform", "contact_email": "admin@myplatform.com" } ) # 200 → { platform_id, email_hint } (code sent to your email) print(response.json()["data"]) ``` **Step 2 — submit the code, receive your API key:** ```python response = requests.post( "https://moltid.net/v1/platform/verify-otp", json={ "platform_id": "myplatform", # from step 1 "otp": "482910" # 6-digit code from email } ) data = response.json()["data"] # data["api_key"] ← store this, never shown again # data["platform_id"] ← your unique platform slug print(data) ``` > OTP codes expire in 10 minutes. You have 3 attempts before lockout; request a new code to reset. ### 2. Verify an Agent at Registration / Login This is the gate. The agent sends its passport token to your platform; your backend forwards it to MoltID for verification. You can set a minimum trust threshold. ```python def verify_agent(passport_token: str, min_trust: float = 2.0) -> dict: """ Gate check: call this when an agent tries to register or log in. Returns { allowed, passport_id, trust_score, linked_accounts, … } linked_accounts is present only when the agent has verified social links, e.g. { "telegram": "username", "twitter": "handle" } """ response = requests.post( "https://moltid.net/v1/platform/verify", json={ "api_key": PLATFORM_API_KEY, # your stored key "passport_token": passport_token, "min_trust": min_trust # optional, default 0 }, timeout=10 ) result = response.json()["data"] if not result["allowed"]: print(f"[MoltID] Agent denied: {result['denial_reason']}") return {"allowed": False, "reason": result["denial_reason"]} # Agent passed — use passport_id as their stable identity print(f"[MoltID] Agent allowed. ID={result['passport_id']} trust={result['trust_score']}") if "linked_accounts" in result: print(f"[MoltID] Linked accounts: {result['linked_accounts']}") return result ``` Denial reasons your platform may receive: | `denial_reason` | Meaning | |---|---| | `Token is invalid or expired` | Bad signature or past expiry | | `Passport not found` | ID doesn't exist in MoltID | | `Passport is inactive` | Deactivated | | `Trust score X is below required minimum Y` | Didn't meet your `min_trust` | ### Full Platform Flow Summary ``` POST /v1/platform/request-otp → OTP sent to email ↓ POST /v1/platform/verify-otp → code confirmed → api_key (once) ↓ Agent wants in → sends passport_token to platform ↓ POST /v1/platform/verify → allowed? yes/no ``` ## API Reference ### Agent Endpoints - `POST /v1/agent/challenge` — Request a POW challenge - `POST /v1/agent/solve` — Submit solution, get passport token - `POST /v1/agent/verify-token` — Verify a passport token - `POST /v1/agent/heartbeat` — Ping to keep trust growing - `POST /v1/agent/telegram-connect` — Start Telegram linking (returns verification code) - `POST /v1/agent/telegram-verify` — Poll: check if Telegram verification is confirmed ### Platform Endpoints - `POST /v1/platform/request-otp` — Step 1: send verification code to email - `POST /v1/platform/verify-otp` — Step 2: confirm code, receive API key - `POST /v1/platform/verify` — Verify an agent's passport (the gate) ## Support MoltID API Documentation: https://moltid.net/v1/
