How to detect Kylon Agent
Kylon Agent signs its requests, so you detect it by verifying the cryptographic signature on each request. A valid signature proves the request came from Pure Reason; a copied user agent without the signature does not.

Questions about Kylon Agent
How do you detect Kylon Agent?
Kylon Agent signs its requests, so you detect it by verifying the cryptographic signature on each request. A valid signature proves the request came from Pure Reason; a copied user agent without the signature does not.
What is Kylon Agent?
Kylon Agent is an AI agent from Pure Reason that works in a browser and signs its requests.
Does Kylon Agent identify itself?
Yes. Kylon Agent signs its requests cryptographically, which is the strongest way an agent can identify itself.
Can a bot pretend to be Kylon Agent?
Not convincingly. A bot can copy Kylon Agent's user agent, but without Pure Reason signing keys its requests fail verification and it is not labeled Kylon Agent.
How common is Kylon Agent?
Very uncommon. Rare, brand new, or not seen on Verisoul traffic yet.
What does the Verisoul API return for Kylon Agent?
Every session Verisoul identifies as Kylon Agent carries an agent block with id "kylon_agent", name, provider, type "ai_agent", detection_method "signed" and the detection_signals used (cryptographic, behavioral). Build rules on the id, type and detection method.
