Use Cases

Supply chain transparency automated

See how businesses use AI agents with DataTrails to answer provenance questions, satisfy compliance auditors, and build trust across multi-party supply chains.

Instant Provenance Verification for Partners

A distribution partner messages asking whether a batch of components is authentic. Your AI Agent queries DataTrails for the asset by UUID, retrieves the full event chain including origin, handling steps, and blockchain confirmation status. The partner receives cryptographic proof of authenticity in seconds. Your compliance team avoids another email thread.

Audit-Ready Evidence on Demand

A regulatory auditor requests all events related to a specific product category over the past quarter. Your AI Agent uses DataTrails' Search Events API with date and type filters, compiles the matching records with their ledger hashes and timestamps, and returns a structured summary. The auditor gets what they need immediately without your team pulling reports.

Public Asset Transparency for End Consumers

A consumer scans a QR code and asks about a product's journey from manufacturer to store shelf. Your AI Agent retrieves the public asset record and its associated events from DataTrails without authentication, presenting the full supply chain story. The consumer builds confidence in your brand. No support ticket required.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI agent verify asset authenticity through DataTrails?

The agent queries DataTrails' immutable evidence registry using the Get Asset and List Asset Events APIs. Each asset record includes blockchain-backed proof mechanisms like Merkle Log hashes, timestamps, and confirmation status. The agent presents this cryptographic verification to the person asking, confirming the asset has not been tampered with since creation.

Can the agent search for events across my entire DataTrails registry?

Yes. The agent uses the Search Events endpoint with OData filter expressions to locate events by type, creation date, origin tenant, or content hash. Results come back paginated and sorted, so even registries with thousands of events return relevant matches quickly.

What DataTrails permissions does the Tars integration require?

Tars connects using an access token generated through the OAuth2 Client Credentials flow with your DataTrails Client ID and Secret. The token's scope determines what the agent can access. For read-only provenance queries, read permissions on assets, events, and blobs are sufficient.

Does Tars store copies of my DataTrails evidence records?

No. The agent queries DataTrails in real time during each conversation. Asset records, event histories, and attachment metadata are fetched live and used only to respond to the current request. Tars does not maintain a separate database of your evidence data.

Can external parties verify public assets through the AI agent?

Yes. DataTrails supports public assets that can be queried without authentication. Your AI agent can retrieve public asset details and their event history for anyone, making it ideal for consumer-facing transparency portals or partner verification workflows.

What happens if someone asks about an asset that does not exist in DataTrails?

The agent handles this gracefully. If no asset matches the provided UUID, the agent informs the user that no record was found, suggests they verify the identifier, and offers to connect them with your team for further assistance. No dead-end conversations.

How is this different from simply sharing DataTrails dashboards with partners?

Dashboards require partners to log in, navigate the interface, and know what to look for. Your AI agent makes evidence accessible through natural conversation on any channel, including WhatsApp or your website. Partners ask questions in plain language and get verified answers instantly.

Can the agent retrieve historical asset states from a specific point in time?

Yes. The DataTrails Get Asset API supports an at_time parameter that returns the asset's state at any past ISO 8601 timestamp. Your agent can tell someone what a tracked component looked like on a specific date, which is valuable for compliance investigations and dispute resolution.
