+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You

+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained

+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and

+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,

+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.

+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+
+Check a domain's [A2A](https://a2a-protocol.org) Agent Card against the v1.0
+specification.
+
+```
+$ a2a-check stillopen.work --probe
+stillopen.work: PASS  (StillOpen)
+  https://stillopen.work/.well-known/agent-card.json
+  info  endpoint https://stillopen.work/api/v1/a2a answers JSON-RPC and reports an unknown task correctly (-32001)
+```
+
+## Install
+
+```
+pip install a2a-agent-checker               # card and endpoint checks
+pip install "a2a-agent-checker[signatures]" # also verifies card signatures
+```
+
+There is also an online version at https://stillopen.work/agents/check.
+
+## What it checks
+
+- The card exists at `/.well-known/agent-card.json`, over HTTPS, as JSON.
+- Every field v1.0 requires is present and the right type: `name`,
+  `description`, `supportedInterfaces`, `version`, `capabilities`,
+  `defaultInputModes`, `defaultOutputModes`, `skills`.
+- Each interface is HTTPS, names a known binding (`JSONRPC`, `GRPC`,
+  `HTTP+JSON`) and a protocol version.
+- Each skill has an `id`, `name`, `description` and `tags`; ids are unique.
+- Common mistakes: a 0.3-era card (top-level `url`, `preferredTransport`),
+  snake_case keys, an endpoint on a different host from the card.
+
+With `--probe` it also asks each endpoint on the card's own host for a task
+that cannot exist (`GetTask` with a random id):
+
+- **JSONRPC**: a conforming agent answers error `-32001` (TaskNotFound).
+- **HTTP+JSON**: `GET {url}/tasks/{id}` (with the interface's `tenant`
+  prefixed when set); a conforming agent answers HTTP 404 with a
+  `google.rpc.Status` body whose `ErrorInfo.reason` is `TASK_NOT_FOUND`. A
+  bare 404 is reported as a warning, since it is also what a server returns
+  for a route that does not exist.
+- **GRPC** is not probed.
+
+This is the most harmless call A2A defines: nothing is created or run on the
+other side. The checker never sends `SendMessage`, and never probes an
+endpoint on a different host from the card.
+
+Card signatures (spec 8.4) are verified when `cryptography` is installed
+(`pip install "a2a-agent-checker[signatures]"`): the key is fetched from the
+`jku` in each signature's header, and each signature is reported as valid,
+invalid or unverifiable. EdDSA, ES256/384/512, RS256/384/512 and
+PS256/384/512. A key published on the card's own host proves the card is
+unaltered, not who signed it, and the finding says so.
+
+Declared extensions (spec 4.6) are listed, and a declaration with no
+absolute `uri`, or a non-boolean `required`, is a warning. A URI with no
+version in its path is pointed out, since a breaking change then has no new
+URI to move to.
+
+## Results
+
+Each finding is `fail` (a v1.0 client cannot use the card), `warn` (usable,
+but something will trip a client or a person) or `info`. The exit status is
+1 if any domain fails, otherwise 0. `--json` prints machine-readable output,
+described by the JSON Schema that `a2a-check --schema` prints
+(`src/a2a_agent_checker/report.schema.json`). Finding codes are stable
+identifiers; new ones may appear in a minor release, so treat an unknown code
+by its level.
+
+## Library
+
+```python
+from a2a_agent_checker import check, validate
+
+report = check("example.com", probe=True)
+print(report.verdict, [f.message for f in report.findings])
+
+findings = validate(card_dict, "https://example.com/.well-known/agent-card.json")
+```
+
+## Safe to run on untrusted input
+
+The checker is built to sit behind a public web form, so every URL is
+treated as hostile:
+
+- HTTPS on port 443 only; no IP literals, no credentials in URLs.
+- The name is resolved once, every address must be public, and the
+  connection goes to that checked address (the name is kept for TLS). This
+  closes the DNS-rebinding gap where a second lookup returns `127.0.0.1`.
+- Redirects are followed by hand, each hop re-checked, at most 3.
+- 10-second timeouts and a 256 KB response cap.
+
+Rate-limiting visitors is the host application's job.
