## Trust is based on behavior

A trust score summarizes whether an agent has behaved consistently enough to earn less oversight. It is based on policy history, access patterns, [approval outcomes](/articles/review-pending-approvals), and recent behavior drift.

_Trust Profiles explain why an agent has earned autonomy and when it needs review._

## What to look for

High trust means the agent has recent evidence of safe, expected behavior. Medium trust usually means the agent can keep working, but important actions may need review. Low trust means the agent needs close inspection before it receives more autonomy.

The trend often matters more than the raw number. A sudden trust drop should prompt review even if the score is not yet in the lowest band; see [Handle an agent trust drop](/articles/handle-an-agent-trust-drop) for the next step.
