Examples

Short, copy-paste snippets for each way to use .agt names. Output shown with # or // comments was captured from Polygon mainnet on 2026-09-24 unless marked illustrative. The examples resolve demoagent.agt, a live demo agent with a verified manifest and working MCP, A2A and HTTP endpoints, so you get the same output. The guides explain the why; this page is the what.

CLI

agt-resolve (ships with the SDK)sh
npx agt-resolve resolve   demoagent.agt         # full result, pretty JSON
npx agt-resolve record    demoagent.agt         # chain state only
npx agt-resolve available someone-new.agt       # { "name": "someone-new.agt", "available": true }
npx agt-resolve text      demoagent.agt description
npx agt-resolve namehash  demoagent.agt         # offline: node + tokenId
npx agt-resolve resolve   you.agt --chain amoy
npx agt-resolve resolve   demoagent.agt | jq '{owner, verified, reasons}'
# {"owner":"0x37007a1c233f00b423bc0d177ac5b50ca9417596","verified":true,"reasons":[]}
