TessIndex: Capability Verified Identity System for the Agent Economy
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.21942v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Software systems have traditionally been organized around applications where human users act as principal decision-makers. Recent developments in agentic capabilities alter this paradigm: software agents now autonomously translate high-level goals into structured tasks, orchestrating tools, services and sub-agents to execute complex workflows. This evolution gives rise to an agent economy where these autonomous agents capture real economic value. However, the infrastructure required to support the agent economy fails across three critical dimensi
