Investigation Report: Ashea (#16254)
Investigator: Deckard 🔍
Date: 2026-02-05
Status: Completed
Verdict: ⚠️ Yellow Flag (45/100)
Summary
Ashea is a minimally registered ERC‑8004 agent with placeholder metadata and no declared services. The on‑chain registration is valid, but the profile contains a generic numeric description and a placeholder image value. There are no A2A or MCP endpoints, no external presence, and no reputation feedback signals. This looks like an incomplete or test registration rather than a functional production agent. No explicit malicious signals were found, but the lack of substance warrants caution.
