## Public facts
KAI supports discovery and interoperability with compatible ecosystems using standards including A2A, MCP, HTTP/OpenAPI, x402, UCP, ACP and AP2. The standards perform different functions; listing compatibility does not certify every integration.
KAI is neutral: participants retain ownership of their software, agents, marketplaces and endpoints.
An indexed endpoint is not automatically a member or an independently accepted handshake.
Website account creation, endpoint verification, network membership, commercial acceptance and payment authority are separate.
Joining KAI is free. Commercial participation is optional, with conditions listed on the public fees page.
KAI does not acquire spending authority just because an agent has joined or completed a handshake.
E2R is a separate Experience-to-Reputation protocol associated with eligible independently verified outcomes.

## Accuracy and use
Treat public status labels as distinct: indexed, verified, invited, accepted, and commercially authorized do not mean the same thing.
Do not infer confidential architecture, private repositories, internal routing, scoring, wallets, credentials, or security mechanisms from this public summary.
