+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify

+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing

+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+# @verax-ai/body
+
+The body an agent asks before it acts. An MCP server that puts every tool
+call through a policy gate, writes a signed decision record before anything
+runs, and keeps that ledger on the machine it runs on. A refusal is recorded
+the same way as an approval.
+
+Part of [Verax](https://github.com/verax-ai/verax) by
+[VERAX Teknoloji](https://verax-ai.com). What the code carries and what stays
+unproven is stated in
+[`docs/STATUS.md`](https://github.com/verax-ai/verax/blob/main/docs/STATUS.md);
+nothing here is a claim beyond that file.
+
+## Install
+
+```sh
+npm install -g @verax-ai/body
+verax --help
+```
+
+Node 22.6 or newer. `@verax-ai/proxy` and `@verax-ai/inventory` install with it.
+
+## Configure
+
+The body opens only when its authorization is configured; there is no default
+token. It speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP at `/mcp` and refuses a call whose
+Bearer token the configured issuer did not sign.
+
+| Variable | Required | Meaning |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `VERAX_ISSUER` | yes | Issuer the agent's token must carry. |
+| `VERAX_JWKS_URL` | yes | Where the body fetches the keys that verify that token. |
+| `VERAX_AUDIENCE` | yes | Audience the token must name, so a token minted for something else is refused. |
+| `VERAX_STATE_DIR` | yes | Directory the ledger, keys and approvals live in. It stays on this machine. |
+| `VERAX_POLICY_FILE` | yes | Policy the gate applies. `@verax-ai/proxy` ships `policy/default.json`, which denies what it does not name. |
+| `VERAX_BIND` | no | `host:port` to listen on. Default `127.0.0.1:8787`; anything but loopback needs `VERAX_TLS_TERMINATED=1`. |
+| `VERAX_INVENTORY_FILE` | no | Roster document the body serves. The format is `@verax-ai/inventory`. |
+
+`verax doctor` names what is missing. A misconfigured body exits with code 78
+before it listens.
+
+## Run
+
+```sh
+verax            # serve MCP at http://127.0.0.1:8787/mcp
+verax doctor     # check the configuration this process would run with
+```
+
+Point an MCP client at `http://127.0.0.1:8787/mcp` with a Bearer token from
+your issuer. The tools the body offers are `memory.get`, `memory.put`,
+`audit.explain`, `message.read`, `message.send` and `spend`. The policy
+decides which of them a token's scopes may call, and a call can be held
+until an operator on this machine approves it.
+
+Other commands: `approve`, `operator`, `reconcile`, `witness`, `halt`,
+`unlock`, `desktop`. `verax --help` lists them.
