Abstract:

   This document sketches a composition pattern in which an application-
   layer "action evidence package" (AEP) -- a signed action record that
   can be hash-linked to earlier records and that reports an action
   taken by an automated (for example, AI-agent) system, the authority
   under which it was taken, and its outcome -- is treated as Evidence
   in the sense of the RATS Architecture (RFC 9334) and bound to
   platform Evidence produced by a hardware root of trust.  The intent
   is that a single Verifier, or a composition of Verifiers, can
   appraise both the platform state and the application-layer record
   together, and emit an Attestation Result that a Relying Party can use
   to reason about _what an automated system reports it did_ and _the
   appraised state of the platform associated with that record_. The
   composition does not turn a self-reported action or outcome into an
   independently observed fact; it prevents the Relying Party from
   having to rely on an unbound operator-side log alone.  This is an
   individual sketch intended to ask the working group whether the
   pattern is already covered by existing mechanisms or warrants a short
   document.
