sign_action Sign an action with the agent's local private key (MCPS per-action signing)
verify_action Verify a signed action server-side, confirm agent identity and check revocation
check_trust Check if an agent can perform an action based on trust level (L0-L4)
get_cert Get certificate details including IANA PEN 66339 OID extensions
revoke_agent Permanently revoke an agent identity
list_agents List all registered agents
