> **Developer Preview.** Launching at Confidential Computing Summit, June 23 2026.

An open specification for hardware-attested AI agent governance records. TRACE defines the format, anchoring protocol, and verification rules for cryptographically provable evidence that an AI agent ran under a specific policy, in a verified hardware environment, on classified data, invoking identified tools, all bound into a single signed artifact rooted in silicon attestation.
