 |---|---|
 | `xlsx_stamp` | Sign a workbook with a cryptographic "integrity verification" stamp — Ed25519-signed claims (named factual checks + their pass/fail/skip status + a content hash) embedded in `docProps/custom.xml`. The stamp travels with the file across saves; a recipient can verify it later to confirm the file hasn't been tampered with since signing. Factual attestations only — never an opinion-shaped seal of approval. |
 | `xlsx_verify_stamp` | Verify a workbook's embedded stamp. Returns (a) whether the Ed25519 signature is valid against the registered public key, (b) whether the workbook bytes match the hash IN the signed claims, and (c) the full check-result content of the stamp. Three distinct trust signals — signature integrity, content integrity, and what was originally attested. |
+| `xlsx_receipt` | Attach an AI-generation receipt — Ed25519-signed claims describing the caller-declared agent identity (name, display name, identity URL), generation timestamp, content hash, optional source-file hashes, optional prompt hash, optional MCP tools called, and an optional description. Honesty boundary (load-bearing): the server signs the caller-declared `agent.name` — it does NOT verify the caller actually IS that agent. Cryptographic identity binding (per-agent issued signing keys) is v1.1+ scope. |
+| `xlsx_verify_receipt` | Verify a workbook's embedded receipt. Returns the same three trust signals as `xlsx_verify_stamp` plus the caller-declared agent identity AS declared (no UI affordances implying cryptographic identity verification). Use to surface "where did this file come from?" — backed by the server's signature over caller honest declaration. |
