## Steps for Agent Usage

1. **Discovery & Registration**: Call `POST /agents/register` to advertise your agent name and capabilities to the trust network registry.
2. **Retrieve Peer Info**: Before initiating trade/negotiation, use `GET /agents/{agent_id}` to check peer capabilities.
3. **Reputation Assessment**: Use `GET /trust/score/{agent_id}` to retrieve a peer's reputation score and check if it is flagged with `is_sybil_suspect`. If `is_sybil_suspect` is true, abort interaction.
4. **Certificate Exchange**: Alternatively, request the peer to present a signed trust certificate. Verify it by calling `POST /trust/verify`. If verification returns `valid: true`, proceed.
5. **Post-Transaction Report**: Once the transaction completes (either successful or failed/cheated), call `POST /trust/report` to record peer behavior. Use `kind: "positive"` for successful delivery and `kind: "negative"` or `kind: "byzantine"` for cheating.
