AI Catalog Manifest is one of 2 APIs that [Agentic Resource Discovery (ARD)](https://apis.io/providers/agentic-resource-discovery/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. This API exposes 1 JSON Schema definition. Tagged areas include Discovery, Metadata, and Well-Known URI. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and 1 JSON Schema.

The publishing half of the standard — the JSON manifest a domain serves at /.well-known/ai-catalog.json declaring who the host is and what agentic resources it offers, each entry typed by media type, identified by a domain-anchored urn:air: URN, and carrying an optional trustManifest for identity, compliance attestations, provenance and a detached JWS signature. Defined upstream by the ai-catalog project and extended here with discovery attributes. This is the artifact an API provider actually has to write.
