As enterprises move AI agents from pilot to production, two critical risks have emerged: agent sprawl and identity spoofing. MuleSoft is addressing both by integrating GoDaddy’s Agent Name Service (ANS) with MuleSoft Agent Fabric’s Agent Scanners — creating a “verify, then execute” model for enterprise agent networks.
What’s New
MuleSoft Agent Scanners handle the automated discovery and cataloging of agents across multi-cloud ecosystems. GoDaddy Agent Name Service (ANS) adds a cryptographic identity layer — issuing each agent a verifiable “digital passport” that publishes to global DNS infrastructure.
Each agent version receives its own cryptographic certificate, meaning a compromised release can be revoked without disrupting the broader domain. Every registration and change is recorded in a tamper-proof transparency log that any participant can audit. And because ANS is built on open standards (MCP, A2A), verified identities travel with agents across protocols without vendor lock-in.
The combined solution ensures that when MuleSoft discovers an agent through its scanners, that agent’s legitimacy can be cryptographically verified before it is granted access to enterprise resources or workflows.
What Enterprises Should Do Now
Agent identity verification will become a baseline requirement as organizations scale from a handful of AI agents to dozens or hundreds. Incepta’s MuleSoft practice can help organizations implement Agent Fabric with proper identity, security, and governance foundations from day one.
