## Changes

### 2026-10-23, version 1.1: Four starters, path_to_tier, share_summary and parse_reputation

New. Four starter files with rules tuned for buying from stores, hiring agent services, data and API providers, and contractors, each with why every number was chosen and made-up example records, at /starters and through the reputation_starter tool. path_to_tier gives the fewest good events that lift a counterparty into a tier, and the days without new events until its score decays to a threshold or back to neutral. share_summary turns one counterparty's record into a short canonical JSON summary with a sha256 id, so another agent can check it was not changed; notes, amounts and the owner stay out. parse_reputation returns the parser's canonical JSON and its sha256, so any program can read the format without writing a parser.

### 2026-10-22, version 1.0: REPUTATION.md: the format and 7 tools

New. The file format: counterparties, dated events of eight fixed types, and rules for weights, half-life and tiers. Tools over HTTP and MCP: score_counterparty, rank_counterparties, tier_for, decay_curve, merge_records, check_reputation and reputation_template, all from your own file and numbers. Plus this changelog, the whats_new tool and version headers on every response.

## What's next

Being built (no dates; check back):

- Scores by category: A counterparty's score per category of dealing, from the same events, so a store that ships parts well but tools badly shows both.
- Events from signed records: Reading signed, chained records of deliveries and approvals as events, so a score can rest on records both sides signed.

Ideas being weighed (not promised):

- Weighing a received summary: A tool that sets a summary another agent shared beside your own record for the same counterparty, so the person sees both readings and decides; nothing is merged on its own.
- Pooled records: Merging files from several agents with a weight per source, so one owner's agents share what each of them learned.
