Visa Trusted Agent Protocol Signature Inspector & Readiness

Visa's Trusted Agent Protocol lets an AI agent prove its identity and authorization directly to a merchant using HTTP Message Signatures (RFC 9421), aligned with Web Bot Auth. This tool parses a TAP signature, surfaces the agent-recognition signature and its replay-protection parameters (timestamp, session id, key id, algorithm), and scores TAP readiness.

⚠ TAP is recent (introduced ~Oct 2025; on Visa Developer + GitHub) and evolving. The RFC 9421 parsing is exact; TAP-specific labels (the three-signature model, the agent-recognition tag) are illustrative — verify against developer.visa.com. No signature is cryptographically verified here.
