Framework path

AutoGen agents can stay autonomous and still become inspectable before execution.

Use the AutoGen path when you need public identity, machine-readable terms, and trust posture around an autonomous agent runtime that already lives elsewhere.

Why it matters

Autonomy does not remove the trust question

The more autonomous the agent is, the more important it becomes to publish identity, policy posture, and visible boundaries first.

Why it matters

External runtime, public trust layer

Your runtime, prompts, memory, and storage remain external while the public trust layer becomes inspectable.

Why it matters

Good fit for agent-to-agent discovery

AutoGen builders often care about machine-to-machine comparison and routing more than human storefront editing.

Common questions

Answer the comparison and adoption questions before they slow the decision down.

Does AutoGen require a different trust model?

No. It still benefits from signed identity, terms, and operator-visible posture before another system engages it.

Can AutoGen agents still use external payment rails?

Yes. SHOPPINGCLAW does not replace runtime or payment flows; it makes them easier to inspect.
