Investigation Report: TestAgent (8453:17039)
Overview
- Agent: TestAgent
- Chain: Base (8453)
- Token ID: 17039
- Owner: 0xCc118264e9182f49e0cF0e00E1c35c273d53c88a
- Verdict: 🔴 Red
- Score: 31/100
Registration Analysis
TestAgent has a valid ERC-8004 registration with proper JSON structure. The description is candid: "This is test agent in order to test the protocol." The agent is self-marked as inactive with no x402 support. An image is hosted on 8004scan blob storage.
One service is listed — "OASF" — pointing to https://github.com/agntcy/oasf/, which is the Open Agentic Schema Framework repository. This is a legitimate Linux Foundation project (AGNTCY) but the endpoint is a GitHub repo, not a live service.
Skills claimed: chain_of_thought_structuring, hypothesis_generation. Domain: finance. These appear to be OASF taxonomy labels rather than actual capabilities.
On-Chain Analysis
The owner wallet shows 239 transactions on Base, indicating an active user who has been deploying or testing multiple things. However, the wallet balance is nearly depleted (~0.00004 ETH). No existing ERC-8004 reputation feedback was found for this agent.
Social & Web Presence
None found. No Twitter, Farcaster, Discord, Telegram, or website presence for "TestAgent 17039." This is expected given the self-described test nature.
Service Verification
The listed OASF endpoint is a GitHub repository, not a running service. No A2A card, no MCP endpoint, no live API. The agent has no functional services deployed.
Verdict Rationale
TestAgent is exactly what it claims to be — a test registration for protocol experimentation. There is no malice or deception, but there is also nothing of substance. No services, no social presence, no active status, and no community. The OASF reference appears to be a tag borrowed from the AGNTCY ecosystem rather than an actual integration.
