# Cross-Chain Reputation System APIs Implementation Plan

This plan outlines the development of a comprehensive cross-chain reputation system that aggregates, manages, and utilizes agent reputation data across multiple blockchain networks for the AITBC ecosystem.

## Current State Analysis

The existing system has:
- **Agent Identity SDK**: Complete cross-chain identity management
- **Basic Agent Models**: SQLModel definitions for agents and workflows
- **Marketplace Infrastructure**: Ready for reputation integration
- **Cross-Chain Mappings**: Agent identity across multiple blockchains

**Gap Identified**: No unified reputation system that aggregates agent performance, trustworthiness, and reliability across different blockchain networks.

## System Architecture

    def aggregate_cross_chain_reputation(self, agent_id: str) -> Dict[int, float]
    def update_reputation_from_transaction(self, tx_data: Dict) -> bool
    def get_reputation_trend(self, agent_id: str, days: int) -> List[float]
```

#### 2. Reputation Data Store (`reputation/store.py`)
```python

    def get_reputation_history(self, agent_id: str, chain_id: int) -> List[ReputationRecord]
    def batch_update_reputations(self, updates: List[ReputationUpdate]) -> bool
    def cleanup_old_records(self, retention_days: int) -> int
```

#### 3. Cross-Chain Aggregator (`reputation/aggregator.py`)
```python
class CrossChainReputationAggregator:
    """Aggregates reputation data from multiple blockchains"""
    
    def __init__(self, session: Session, blockchain_clients: Dict[int, BlockchainClient])
    def collect_chain_reputation_data(self, chain_id: int) -> List[ChainReputationData]

    def apply_chain_weighting(self, scores: Dict[int, float]) -> Dict[int, float]
    def detect_reputation_anomalies(self, agent_id: str) -> List[Anomaly]
```

#### 4. Reputation API Manager (`reputation/api_manager.py`)
```python
class ReputationAPIManager:
    """High-level manager for reputation API operations"""
    
    def __init__(self, session: Session)
    def get_agent_reputation(self, agent_id: str) -> AgentReputationResponse
