KYE™ Discoverability Profile™
It is not enough that KYE™ records authority. You also need to find it. Every query is purpose-bound, policy-filtered, audited, and masked — so auditors, regulators, and operators see what they need and nothing more.
You learn: The page's points, one at a time. You can: Step through them.

1 · Six discovery types
Six query types cover the surface area of an Authority Graph™. You pick the type. The Directory Engine picks the mask, the audit event, and the JWS (JSON Web Signature) on the result.
Humans, organisations, agents, services, wallets, devices, models, tools.
Grants, scopes, delegated chains, approval rules; expiring, stale, over-broad.
Tools, skills, APIs, workflows, prompts, models, MCP servers; by side effect.
Audit events, Decision Maps™, Evidence Packs™, replay records.
High-risk chains, stale grants, compromised dependencies, blast radius.
Profiles, connectors, apps, plugins, certified partners.
2 · Six modes, in widening scope
Pick the scope you can defend. The Directory Engine signs the audit event under DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) Art. 18 and GDPR Art. 30 so you can prove every query was bounded.
3 · Schemas (Apache 2.0)
Each schema is JSON Schema 2020-12 with a stable $id. The same shapes drive your OpenAPI spec, your webhook payloads, and the SDK clients.

4 · Apps that compose the profile
Each app is a thin surface over the same Directory Engine. You ship one engine; your auditors, owners, and partners each get the view they need.
Searchable directory of entities, agents, capabilities, grants, profiles.
Authority-graph traversal for the owner and the auditor.
Principal → delegation → actor → capability traces.
Search and verify Evidence Packs™ and audit events.
Find profiles, connectors, apps, and certified partners.
5 · Open / paid boundary
Apache 2.0 schemas, dictionaries, fixtures, and validators ship in public. The paid Directory Engine adds masking, risk ranking, and stale-grant detection for buyers under ISO 42001 and NIST AI RMF audits.
