The update adds five new frontmatter field families to answer: where did this come from (provenance via `sources`), how trustworthy is it (`generated`/`verified` trust tiers), is it still current (`stale_after`/`status`), and was a reported number computed the sanctioned way (a new `Attested Computation` concept type with executor/attester mechanics). All new fields are opt-in and backward-compatible with v0.1. The release also ships an updated reference agent that emits trust signals on generation, a static visualizer surfacing trust tiers, updated sample bundles, and a Knowledge Catalog demo showing round-trip preservation of trust metadata. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What new fields does OKF v0.2 add for tracking trust and provenance in knowledge bundles? OKF v0.2 adds a sources field for provenance (author, usage_count, last_modified), generated and verified fields for trust tiers (unverified, machine-confirmed, human-reviewed), stale_after and status for freshness and lifecycle, and a new Attested Computation type with executor and attester fields to mechanically verify computed values. All fields are optional and a v0.1 bundle still validates unchanged. _Teams designing agent-safe data pipelines can track spec changes like OKF's trust fields on daily.dev._ ### How does OKF's Attested Computation verify that an agent computed a number the sanctioned way? An Attested Computation declares a sanctioned SQL query with fixed parameters, runs it through an executor that returns a receipt containing the job_id, executed SQL, and result, then a deterministic attester canonicalizes and compares the executed SQL against the sanctioned version. If a table name, filter, or join was altered, the canonical forms differ and the consumer refuses to display the value, since the check never uses an LLM. _Anyone hardening agent-generated analytics against silent query tampering can follow attestation patterns like this on daily.dev._ ### Is OKF v0.2 backward compatible with OKF v0.1 bundles? Yes, v0.2 is an additive, backward-compatible minor version bump. Only two renames occurred: timestamp was superseded by generated.at, and the body's Citations list was superseded by the sources field, and in both cases a v0.2 consumer can still fall back to reading the v0.1 form. A v0.1 bundle drops into a v0.2 consumer unchanged. _Engineers planning a spec upgrade can weigh compatibility trade-offs like these before migrating on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Using OKF to provide long term context to your agent](https://daily.dev/posts/using-okf-to-provide-long-term-context-to-your-agent-9rqtpfok6) · iO tech\_hub · 10 upvotes · 0 comments - [How the Open Knowledge Format can improve data sharing](https://daily.dev/posts/how-the-open-knowledge-format-can-improve-data-sharing-qqswihmau) · Google Cloud · 15 upvotes · 0 comments - [Knowledge as Code: The Memory File Just Got a Spec](https://daily.dev/posts/knowledge-as-code-the-memory-file-just-got-a-spec-rlawyv7rd) · Pulumi · 2 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#big-data](https://daily.dev/tags/big-data), [#agentic-ai](https://daily.dev/tags/agentic-ai), [#google-bigquery](https://daily.dev/tags/google-bigquery) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/okf-v0-2-adds-trust-signals-lxd5lz7ps) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"OKF v0.2 adds trust signals","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/okf-v0-2-adds-trust-signals-lxd5lz7ps","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/okf-v0-2-adds-trust-signals-lxd5lz7ps"},"datePublished":"2026-07-24T16:06:47.197Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T06:27:31.936Z","description":"Open Knowledge Format v0.2 introduces trust signals for AI-agent-written knowledge bundles.
