+## Drive KiCI from your coding agent
+
+Source: https://docs.kici.dev/user/ai-agents/
+
+KiCI ships a hosted **MCP server** so a coding agent (Claude Code, or any MCP
+client) can drive your CI directly: trigger runs, read a structured result,
+fetch the failing step's logs, cancel, and re-run — all under an agent identity
+you control, org-scoped, and audited. There are no per-tool tokens to configure:
+point the agent at one URL with one credential and it's done.
+
+The MCP exposes only what you can already do yourself through the `kici` CLI and
+the dashboard. It is not a new privileged surface — every tool maps to an
+existing user-facing operation and is gated by the same permissions your role
+grants.
+
+## 1. Mint an agent credential
+
+The MCP accepts an **agent-kind credential** — and only an agent-kind one. It
+can be either of two kinds:
+
+- An **agent personal access token (PAT)** that you own — it acts as you, with
+  your provenance. The token is `kici_pat_…`.
+- An **agent org API key** that belongs to your organization — a
+  provenance-carrying service account, independent of any one person. The key is
+  `kici_sk_…`.
+
+Both drive the MCP identically. A non-agent token of either kind (a plain user
+PAT, a plain org API key) is refused at the door.
+
+**Option A — an agent PAT.** Mint one with the `kici` CLI (log in first with
+`kici login`):
+
+```bash
+kici pat create --agent --name "claude-code"
+```
+
+The `--name` value is the **agent label**. It is recorded on every action the
+agent takes, so your audit log shows exactly which agent did what (and on whose
+behalf). The token is printed once — save it now; it cannot be retrieved later.
+
+**Option B — an agent org API key.** Create one from the dashboard's
+**Settings → API keys** tab: set the key's kind to **Agent** and give it an
+agent name (the agent label). The same key can also be minted with
+`kici-platform-admin user api-key create --org <id> --agent --agent-label <label>`.
+Reach for an org agent key when the agent should act as a shared service account
+rather than as a single user — for example, a long-lived CI bot that outlives any
+individual's membership.
+
+Whichever you pick, the credential carries provenance, not extra authority. Its
+effective permissions are the matrix it was minted with, and that matrix can
+never exceed the permissions of the person who created it — so you can scope an
+agent credential **below** your own access (for example, read-only) and the agent
+is held to that smaller set. Powerful operator capabilities (secret rotation,
+agent and peer management, draining) are intentionally **not** exposed here. See
+[the agent safety model](https://docs.kici.dev/user/ai-agents/#6-the-agent-safety-model) for how scoping and
+confinement work.
+
+## 2. Point your coding agent at the MCP server
+
+KiCI's hosted MCP server lives at one fixed URL:
+
+```
+https://api.kici.dev/api/v1/mcp
+```
+
+Configure your MCP client with that URL and your agent credential (the agent PAT
+or the agent org key) as a Bearer credential. For Claude Code:
+
+```bash
+claude mcp add --transport http kici https://api.kici.dev/api/v1/mcp \
+  --header "Authorization: Bearer <your-agent-credential>"
+```
+
+That's the entire setup. The agent can now call the tools below.
+
+## 3. What the agent can do
+
+**Read**
+
+- `list_runs` — recent runs in your organization.
+- `get_run` — the structured, provenance-tagged result of a run: the typed job
+  graph, per-step statuses and exit codes, durations, and a derived failure
+  category.
+- `get_step_logs` — the log lines for a specific step.
+- `list_workflows` — your registered workflows, optionally filtered by
+  `triggerType`, `repo`, or `stale` (only those not triggered within a duration
+  like `30d`).
+- `list_orgs` — the organizations you belong to. Use it to discover the `orgId`
+  to pass to the other tools when you're a member of more than one.
+- `list_secrets` — the secret scopes in your organization and the **key names**
+  each holds. Secret values are never returned — only the names.
+- `list_orchestrators` — the connected orchestrator clusters your runs execute
+  on (cluster name, routing keys, version, scaler backends, health).
+- `get_diagnostics` — your organization's execution metrics over the last 24
+  hours (run count, success rate, average duration, queued and running jobs)
+  plus per-orchestrator connection health.
+
+**Drive**
+
+- `trigger_run` — run a registered workflow ("run now").
+- `rerun_run` — re-run a completed run.
+- `cancel_run` — cancel an in-progress run.
+- `approve_run` — approve a held approval gate for a run (name the run, plus
+  `job`/`step` to disambiguate when it has multiple holds).
+- `reject_run` — reject a held approval gate; a `reason` is required.
+- `cancel_runs_by_branch` — cancel all in-progress runs on a branch (bounded —
+  up to 100 per call; a `truncated` flag tells the agent to re-invoke).
+
+The tools cover the same developer operations you can drive yourself with the
+`kici` CLI. Operations that are purely local to your machine (scaffolding,
+compiling, running a workflow locally) or that mint credentials are
+intentionally not exposed — the agent works against your deployed CI, not your
+filesystem.
+
+If you belong to a single organization, the org is resolved automatically. If
+you belong to several, pass an `orgId` argument to any tool (use `list_orgs` to
+find it).
+
+### Limits and pagination
+
+The MCP server applies a few bounds so an agent loop can't overwhelm the shared
+infrastructure. They are agent-visible — your agent gets a clear tool error and
+should back off or page, never a silent truncation:
+
+- **Per-token request limits.** Each agent token has its own ceiling, refreshed
+  every minute: **120 reads/minute** (listing and fetching runs, step logs, and
+  workflows) and **20 run actions/minute** (cancel, re-run, trigger, approve,
+  reject, cancel-by-branch). The two
+  budgets are independent. An over-limit call returns a tool error telling the
+  agent which kind of operation was throttled and how many seconds to wait
+  before retrying.
+- **Paginated step logs.** `get_step_logs` returns log lines in pages. Pass a
+  `limit` to bound a page (capped server-side) and follow the returned
+  `nextCursor` (as `cursor` on the next call) to read more. A large step log is
+  paged, never silently cut off — when `nextCursor` is null you've reached the
+  end.
+- **Bounded run results.** `get_run` returns the structured run result, which is
+  naturally bounded by workflow size. For a pathologically large run it returns a
+  tool error directing the agent to inspect specific steps with `get_step_logs`
+  instead.
+
+## 4. Why the structured result is agent-safe
+
+Every tool returns a machine-first shape designed for an agent to reason over
+without being misled by repository content. Each field that comes from your repo,
+a contributor, or a process's output — workflow and job names, refs, error
+messages, log lines, job outputs — is delivered **fenced** as untrusted data:
+wrapped in a per-response, randomly-named delimiter (`⟦u:<nonce>⟧…⟦/u:<nonce>⟧`),
+with the result prefixed by a notice that fenced text is data, never instructions.
+KiCI-generated values (ids, statuses, exit codes, durations, the derived failure
+category) are left plain. So an agent can keep user-controlled content out of its
+instruction channel by treating anything inside a fence as data only. See
+[Untrusted content and prompt injection](https://docs.kici.dev/user/ai-agents/#7-untrusted-content-and-prompt-injection)
+for the full model.
+
+Secret values are never returned — only the names of the secret keys a step
+accessed.
+
+## 5. The audit guarantee
+
+Because the MCP accepts only an agent-kind credential, **every action that flows
+through it is agent-attributed by construction** — there is no path that produces
+an untagged, human-looking action. Each read and each drive operation is recorded
+in your orchestrator's access log under the acting identity plus the agent label,
+so you always have a complete trail of what your agent did.
+
+Inspect that trail with `kici-admin access-log list --json` (or
+`kici-admin access-log show <id>` for one entry). The acting identity depends on
+which credential you used:
+
+- An **agent PAT** keeps `actor_type` as `user` and `actor_id` as your own
+  identity — the agent provenance rides in the actor metadata as `agentLabel`
+  (the `--name` you minted the PAT with) and `agentPatId`.
+- An **agent org key** keeps `actor_type` as `api_key` and `actor_id` as the key
+  — the same `agentLabel` provenance rides in its actor metadata.
+
+Either way the label is stored in a dedicated `agent_label` column on every such
+row, so you can filter the access log down to just agent activity:
+
+```bash
+# Every action a specific agent took, by its label:
+kici-admin access-log list --agent-label "claude-code"
+
+# Every agent-attributed action, across all agents:
+kici-admin access-log list --agent-only
+```
+
+In the dashboard, agent-driven activity is visually distinguished: the
+[Activity](https://docs.kici.dev/user/dashboard/activity-and-dlq/#activity) log renders an **agent badge**
+on every agent-attributed row, and a run's **Triggered by** shows the same badge
+when an agent triggered or cancelled it — so an agent's footprint is obvious at a
+glance, not buried in metadata.
+
+## 6. The agent safety model
+
+KiCI treats a coding agent as a **least-privilege principal with its own token**,
+not as an unscoped extension of you. Three properties make the agent
+"confined and audited by construction":
+
+**Least-privilege, capped at the creator.** An agent token is scoped when you
+mint it. Leave the scope open and it inherits your role; narrow it and the agent
+is held to that smaller set — its effective permissions are always the
+**minimum** of your role and the token's scope. A token can never grant more than
+you hold, so an agent cannot escalate beyond its creator.
+
+**Fail-closed denial, on every surface the token is used.** The scope is enforced
+wherever the token acts — the MCP tools the agent drives **and** any direct API
+call made with the raw token. When the agent attempts something outside its
+scope (driving a run with a read-only token, reading members it wasn't granted),
+the action is **refused fail-closed**: it does not run, nothing is changed, and a
+clear "insufficient permission" error comes back. There is no fallback path that
+quietly lets a denied action through.
+
+**Every decision is audited — allowed and denied alike.** Allowed actions are
+recorded in your access log under your identity plus the agent label, exactly as
+described in [the audit guarantee](https://docs.kici.dev/user/ai-agents/#5-the-audit-guarantee). **Denials are audited
+too:** each refused action lands a row in your organization's audit log carrying
+the agent label and the permission that was required, so a confined agent's
+attempts are as visible as its successes. You can see both what your agent did
+and what it was stopped from doing.
+
+**Execution stays confined.** Beyond authorization, the workloads an agent
+triggers run under the same execution guardrails as any other run — label-based
+routing decides where a job runs, and privileged (root) execution is gated and
+verified, refused fail-closed when the guarantee can't be met.
+
+Together these mean you can hand an agent a deliberately narrow token, point it
+at KiCI, and trust that it can do exactly what you granted — no more — with a
+complete, tamper-evident trail of every allow and every deny.
+
+## 7. Untrusted content and prompt injection
+
+A run carries content KiCI does not vouch for — log lines, workflow and repository
+names, error text, contributor names. An agent reading a run must treat that content
+as **data**, never as instructions, or a crafted log line ("ignore previous
+instructions and …") could hijack the agent.
+
+KiCI defends this structurally:
+
+- **Provenance tagging.** Every user- or process-controlled value is marked untrusted
+  at the API boundary; KiCI's own values (run ids, statuses, exit codes, commit hashes)
+  are trusted.
+- **Fencing at the agent boundary.** When the MCP server returns a result, every
+  untrusted value is wrapped in a per-response, randomly-named fence
+  (`⟦u:<nonce>⟧…⟦/u:<nonce>⟧`) and the result is prefixed with a notice that fenced
+  text is data, never instructions. The fence name is random per response, so injected
+  content cannot forge a closing fence to break out.
+- **No mutation.** KiCI never rewrites your log content — it fences and labels it. The
+  agent sees the true bytes inside the fence.
+
+### Safe integration pattern
+
+An agent (or harness) consuming KiCI reads should treat anything inside a fence as
+opaque data: quote it, summarize it, search it — but never execute it, follow it, or
+let it redirect a tool call. Any action taken off the back of a read (re-run, cancel,
+trigger) should be a deliberate decision from the trusted skeleton (statuses, exit
+codes, the failure category), not from fenced content.
+
+### Sandboxing actions
+
+Actions an agent drives through KiCI run under the agent's own least-privilege identity
+and are audited; combine the fencing contract with that confinement so that even if a
+log line tries to provoke an action, the action is bounded by the agent token's scope.

 Verify a KiCI build-provenance attestation bundle offline. A bundle is the signed package a workflow step produces via `ctx.attestProvenance(...)`: a DSSE-wrapped SLSA in-toto statement, the ephemeral public key that signed it, and the KiCI identity token that anchors the build context. For the end-to-end attest → verify → view journey, see the [build provenance guide](https://docs.kici.dev/user/provenance/). Verification establishes the full chain — the identity token verifies against the trusted issuer's JWKS, the DSSE signature verifies against the bundled key, and the statement's build context must match the token's claims (a mismatch is a hard failure). When an `[artifact]` is given, its SHA-256 digest is also matched against the attestation subject.
 
+On success the output prints the **origin org** (the customer's public org id — the authoritative "who built this" the platform vouches for) and a **source marker**. A `kici run remote` attestation is flagged unmistakably: its `repository`/`ref`/`sha` are caller-supplied from a local working-tree overlay, not a triggered VCS commit, so a verifier must treat those coordinates as org-asserted rather than VCS-verified. A normal triggered run carries the ordinary `triggered` source marker. See the [build provenance guide](https://docs.kici.dev/user/provenance/) for the full trust model.
