Advisory
What it does
Authenticate and integrity-protect the channels agents use to talk to each other, so a peer cannot be impersonated, a message tampered with, or a fake agent registered in discovery. Use when building multi-agent orchestration, agent-to-agent protocols, delegation between agents, message buses, or agent discovery services. Do NOT use for a single agent calling ordinary tools — that is owasp-asi02-tool-misuse.
Chock adds friction. It is not a security boundary.

Latest change
0.0.2 · · Point at the mechanised slice: the agentic-code-security gate's comms pack refuses TLS certificate verification switched off in Python and Node, at commit and at tool use. Everything else here stays advisory, and no rule text or claim is raised; the pointer is a see() and a references section.
