Request-to-Resolve

Why send a Request-to-Resolve

• Before agent access — before allowing an external agent to act inside your system.
• Before API integration — before integrating with a counterparty API.
• Before supplier onboarding — before adding a new supplier into procurement.
• Before payout — before releasing funds to a counterparty.
• Before procurement — before issuing a procurement decision or contract.
• Before SBOM review — before accepting an SBOM/release into a review pipeline.

What a request can ask for

• A required parent tier (Declared / Verified / Assured).
• Specific passports (Agent Credential, API Passport, ...).
• Specific packages or bundles.
• Specific bindings (domain, agent, API, MCP, SBOM).
• A short reason or message for the counterparty.
• An expiry timestamp on the request itself.
• A return target so the requester is notified once Resolver state changes.

Request payload example

This is the canonical shape of a Request-to-Resolve payload. Developer Gateway does not host a live request form; the link routes to TrustOps and the proof appears in Resolver.

{
  "request_type": "request-to-resolve",
  "required_parent_tier": "Verified",
  "requested_passports": ["AGENT", "API"],
  "requested_packages": ["KYB-GATE-PACK"],
  "requested_bindings": ["domain", "agent", "api"],
  "reason": "Vendor onboarding for example.com",
  "expires_at": "<timestamp>",
  "return_target": "https://requester.example.com/onboarding/return"
}

What happens next

• The requester sends the request link to the counterparty.
• The counterparty enters TrustOps to acquire or complete the requested binding.
• Backend/Core verifies once control evidence is observed.
• Resolver projects the BOUND state when verification completes.
• The requester verifies the result against Resolver — never against a forwarded screenshot.

Free vs advanced

• A basic request link is free.
• Branded, bulk, or workflow features are paid only where the package supports them.
• No live request form is hosted on Developer Gateway. There is no checkout here.
