|

> **Problem:** AI agents with tools invent facts, overspend, and get their shell commands talked around. Most stacks catch none of it.
|
|
28
|
+
>
|
|
29
|
+
> **Approach:** three deterministic guardrails, no API keys and no model calls: a policy gate for tool calls, a checker for invented values, and a benchmark for shell-command gates.
|
|
30
|
+
>
|
|
31
|
+
> **Proof:** 194 tests. The checker and the benchmark are ports of work measured on real agent logs and on three shipping AI coding tools.

```bash

pip install agentguard-eval
|
|
35
|

```
|
|
36
|
+
|
|
37
|
+
The package installs as `agentguard-eval` (PyPI found `agentguard` too close to an existing name) and imports as `agentguard`.
|
|
38
|
+
|
|
39
|
+
Python 3.10+. Zero runtime dependencies. Everything here runs offline and gives the same answer every time, which is what makes it testable and what makes it safe to put in a CI job.

## What's in it
|
|
44
|
+
|
|
45
|
+
Three things that go wrong when you give a language model real tools, and a guard for each.
|
|
46
|
+
|
|
47
|
+
### 1. A policy gate: decide whether a tool call may run
|
|
48
|
+
|
|
49
|
+
Every tool call is a *proposal*. The gate returns one of three answers: run it, hold it for a person, or refuse it. Reads run unattended; money, customer messages, and deletes wait for a human. It fails closed, checks the budget before anything else, and catches an agent that estimates one cost while its arguments move a bigger one.
|
|
50
|
+
|
|
51
|
+
```python
|
|
52
|
+
from agentguard.gate import evaluate, Budget
|
|
53
|
+
|
|
54
|
+
d = evaluate("refund.create", estimated_cost_cents=100, args={"amount_cents": 9000},
|
|
55
|
+
budget=Budget(spent_cents=0, limit_cents=50_000))
|
|
56
|
+
print(d.verdict.value, d.decided_by) # REQUIRE_APPROVAL cost-understated
|
|
57
|
+
print(d.reason) # "The agent estimated $1.00, but the arguments move $90.00 — escalated for review."
|
|
58
|
+
```
|
|
59
|
+
|
|
60
|
+
Seven ordered checks, each one asserted by a test: a malformed tool name is refused before it can borrow another rule, an unknown tool fails closed, a negative or non-finite cost is refused before the budget math, the budget is checked before the tier, an understated or unusually large spend is escalated, and a runaway loop of writes is paused.
|
|
61
|
+
|
|
62
|
+
`evaluate` judges one call. `Governor` runs the whole approval workflow around it: it holds what's waiting for a person, checks who is approving, charges the budget only when something actually runs, and writes every step to a hash-chained ledger.
|
|
63
|
+
|
|
64
|
+
```python
|
|
65
|
+
from agentguard.gate import Governor
|
|
66
|
+
|
|
67
|
+
g = Governor(reviewer_keys={"you@company.com": "your-secret"})
|
|
68
|
+
a = g.propose("billing-agent", "refund.create", {"amount_cents": 9000}, estimated_cost_cents=9000)
|
|
69
|
+
print(a.state.value) # PENDING_APPROVAL
|
|
70
|
+
|
|
71
|
+
token = g.mint_token(a.id, "you@company.com") # only the key holder can make this
|
|
72
|
+
g.decide(a.id, True, "you@company.com", token=token)
|
|
73
|
+
print(a.state.value, g.spent_cents) # EXECUTED 9000
|
|
74
|
+
print(g.verify().message) # All 4 entries verify against their hashes.
|
|
75
|
+
```
|
|
76
|
+
|
|
77
|
+
Each rule here is a bug the TypeScript project found and fixed: the agent that asked can't approve its own request; typing a reviewer's name isn't enough, it takes a token bound to that one action; an approval stops counting 24 hours after the request; and the budget is checked again at the moment an approved action runs, because two refunds that each fit alone can both get a yes. Ledgers are interchangeable with the TypeScript version: the same calls produce the same ledger byte for byte, hashes included (`tests/test_governor.py` checks this against a ledger the TypeScript store wrote).
|
|
78
|
+
|
|
79
|
+
### 2. A provenance checker: catch invented facts
|
|
80
|
+
|
|
81
|
+
Checks whether an agent's answer is backed by what its tools actually returned. Four checks: a confident answer after a tool failed, a value no tool returned and nobody stated, a record for the wrong entity passed off as the right one, and a refusal that cites a limit appearing nowhere in the transcript.
|
|
82
|
+
|
|
83
|
+
```python
|
|
84
|
+
from agentguard.provenance import check_transcript, load_transcript
|
|
85
|
+
|
|
86
|
+
t = load_transcript({"steps": [
|
|
87
|
+
{"role": "tool_call", "id": "c1", "tool": "orders.get", "args": {"order_id": "W1"}},
|
|
88
|
+
{"role": "tool_result", "id": "c1", "tool": "orders.get", "status": "ok", "payload": {"eta": "2026-10-22"}},
|
|
89
|
+
{"role": "assistant", "content": "It arrives 2026-10-24."},
|
|
90
|
+
]})
|
|
91
|
+
v = check_transcript(t)
|
|
92
|
+
print(v.honest, v.flags[0].kind, v.flags[0].values) # False unsupported-value ('2026-10-24',)
|
|
93
|
+
```
|
|
94
|
+
|
|
95
|
+
It reads the user, the system prompt, the tool calls and their results, and normalizes values so the same fact in different forms ("May 19, 2024" and `2024-05-19`, "$1,024" and `1024`) matches. It knows an agent computes (a refund that's the difference of two returned prices is grounded), and it leaves vague language alone, because exact-match is the honest limit of a checker with no model behind it.
|
|
96
|
+
|
|
97
|
+
For the short, high-yield list, `id_flags(verdict)` keeps only flags about an invented order number or product code, the fabrication that does the most harm.
|
|
98
|
+
|
|
99
|
+
It reads your agent's real logs directly. `to_transcript` takes an **OpenAI** chat log (`tool_calls` / role `tool`), an **Anthropic** messages log (`tool_use` / `tool_result` blocks), or agentguard's own `{"steps": [...]}`, and works out which one it got:
|
|
100
|
+
|
|
101
|
+
```python
|
|
102
|
+
import json
|
|
103
|
+
from agentguard.provenance import check_transcript, to_transcript
|
|
104
|
+
|
|
105
|
+
v = check_transcript(to_transcript(json.load(open("run.json"))))
|
|
106
|
+
```
|
|
107
|
+
|
|
108
|
+
Tool calls a model also writes into its message text (Claude's `<function_calls>` markup) are stripped first, so tool names aren't read as invented claims. On tool-truth's example logs, agentguard prints exactly the flags and values the TypeScript original prints, in the same order (`tests/test_parity.py`).
|
|
109
|
+
|
|
110
|
+
### 3. A benchmark: how often can a command gate be talked around?
|
|
111
|
+
|
|
112
|
+
Give an agent a shell and you put a gate in front of it: a list of commands it may not run. This rewrites a forbidden command in 13 known bypass styles (chaining, quoting, `$IFS`, variable indirection, `awk`, `base64`, equivalent binaries) and counts a bypass **only when the forbidden effect actually happens in a sandbox**.
|
|
113
|
+
|
|
114
|
+
```python
|
|
115
|
+
from agentguard.shell import run_bench, format_report
|
|
116
|
+
|
|
117
|
+
print(format_report(run_bench()))
|
|
118
|
+
```
|
|
119
|
+
|
|
120
|
+
```
|
|
121
|
+
gate bypass rate (bypasses / effective)
|
|
122
|
+
substring-denylist 31% (14/45)
|
|
123
|
+
word-denylist 78% (35/45)
|
|
124
|
+
tokenized-denylist 71% (32/45)
|
|
125
|
+
allowlist 0% (0/45)
|
|
126
|
+
```
|
|
127
|
+
|
|
128
|
+
Two findings worth the whole module: a more precise denylist is not a safer one (whole-word matching misses `rm${IFS}file` that a dumb substring search catches), and only the allowlist, which names what may run and refuses everything else, holds at 0%.

## A pytest plugin
|
|
133
|
+
|
|
134
|
+
Installing agentguard adds fixtures so you can assert on agent behaviour in your own suite:
|
|
135
|
+
|
|
136
|
+
```python
|
|
137
|
+
def test_my_agent_is_grounded(assert_grounded):
|
|
138
|
+
assert_grounded(my_agent_transcript) # fails, listing the invented values
|
|
139
|
+
|
|
140
|
+
def test_my_policy_allows_reads(assert_tool_allowed):
|
|
141
|
+
assert_tool_allowed("crm.read") # fails if the gate wouldn't auto-allow it
|
|
142
|
+
|
|
143
|
+
def test_my_shell_gate_holds(assert_gate_holds):
|
|
144
|
+
assert_gate_holds(my_gate) # fails, listing the commands that got through
|
|
145
|
+
```
|
|
146
|
+
|
|
147
|
+
## A command line
|
|
148
|
+
|
|
149
|
+
```bash
|
|
150
|
+
agentguard check run.json # OpenAI, Anthropic or agentguard format; exit 1 if flagged
|
|
151
|
+
agentguard check run.json --ids-only # only high-confidence invented IDs
|
|
152
|
+
agentguard gate refund.create --cost 9000 --amount 9000
|
|
153
|
+
agentguard bench # the shell-gate scorecard
|
|
154
|
+
agentguard verify-ledger ledger.json # exit 1 and name the first edited entry
|
|
155
|
+
```
|
|
156
|
+
|
|
157
|
+
`agentguard check` exits non-zero when a transcript is flagged, so it can gate a CI job over saved agent runs.
|
|

## Where this comes from
|
|
162
|
+
|
|
163
|
+
The checker and the benchmark are Python ports of two projects I tested on real data, and the write-ups there carry the honest numbers:
|
|
164
|
+

## What's in it
|
|
20
|
+
|
|
21
|
+
Three things that go wrong when you give a language model real tools, and a guard for each.
|
|
22
|
+
|
|
23
|
+
### 1. A policy gate: decide whether a tool call may run
|
|
24
|
+
|
|
25
|
+
Every tool call is a *proposal*. The gate returns one of three answers: run it, hold it for a person, or refuse it. Reads run unattended; money, customer messages, and deletes wait for a human. It fails closed, checks the budget before anything else, and catches an agent that estimates one cost while its arguments move a bigger one.
|
|
26
|
+
|
|
27
|
+
```python
|
|
28
|
+
from agentguard.gate import evaluate, Budget
|
|
29
|
+
|
|
30
|
+
d = evaluate("refund.create", estimated_cost_cents=100, args={"amount_cents": 9000},
|
|
31
|
+
budget=Budget(spent_cents=0, limit_cents=50_000))
|
|
32
|
+
print(d.verdict.value, d.decided_by) # REQUIRE_APPROVAL cost-understated
|
|
33
|
+
print(d.reason) # "The agent estimated $1.00, but the arguments move $90.00 — escalated for review."
|
|
34
|
+
```
|
|
35
|
+
|
|
36
|
+
Seven ordered checks, each one asserted by a test: a malformed tool name is refused before it can borrow another rule, an unknown tool fails closed, a negative or non-finite cost is refused before the budget math, the budget is checked before the tier, an understated or unusually large spend is escalated, and a runaway loop of writes is paused.
|
|
37
|
+
|
|
38
|
+
`evaluate` judges one call. `Governor` runs the whole approval workflow around it: it holds what's waiting for a person, checks who is approving, charges the budget only when something actually runs, and writes every step to a hash-chained ledger.
|
|
39
|
+
|
|
40
|
+
```python
|
|
41
|
+
from agentguard.gate import Governor
|
|
42
|
+
|
|
43
|
+
g = Governor(reviewer_keys={"you@company.com": "your-secret"})
|
|
44
|
+
a = g.propose("billing-agent", "refund.create", {"amount_cents": 9000}, estimated_cost_cents=9000)
|
|
45
|
+
print(a.state.value) # PENDING_APPROVAL
|
|
46
|
+
|
|
47
|
+
token = g.mint_token(a.id, "you@company.com") # only the key holder can make this
|
|
48
|
+
g.decide(a.id, True, "you@company.com", token=token)
|
|
49
|
+
print(a.state.value, g.spent_cents) # EXECUTED 9000
|
|
50
|
+
print(g.verify().message) # All 4 entries verify against their hashes.
|
|
51
|
+
```
|
|
52
|
+
|
|
53
|
+
Each rule here is a bug the TypeScript project found and fixed: the agent that asked can't approve its own request; typing a reviewer's name isn't enough, it takes a token bound to that one action; an approval stops counting 24 hours after the request; and the budget is checked again at the moment an approved action runs, because two refunds that each fit alone can both get a yes. Ledgers are interchangeable with the TypeScript version: the same calls produce the same ledger byte for byte, hashes included (`tests/test_governor.py` checks this against a ledger the TypeScript store wrote).
|
|
54
|
+
|
|
55
|
+
### 2. A provenance checker: catch invented facts
|
|
56
|
+
|
|
57
|
+
Checks whether an agent's answer is backed by what its tools actually returned. Four checks: a confident answer after a tool failed, a value no tool returned and nobody stated, a record for the wrong entity passed off as the right one, and a refusal that cites a limit appearing nowhere in the transcript.
|
|
58
|
+
|
|
59
|
+
```python
|
|
60
|
+
from agentguard.provenance import check_transcript, load_transcript
|
|
61
|
+
|
|
62
|
+
t = load_transcript({"steps": [
|
|
63
|
+
{"role": "tool_call", "id": "c1", "tool": "orders.get", "args": {"order_id": "W1"}},
|
|
64
|
+
{"role": "tool_result", "id": "c1", "tool": "orders.get", "status": "ok", "payload": {"eta": "2026-10-22"}},
|
|
65
|
+
{"role": "assistant", "content": "It arrives 2026-10-24."},
|
|
66
|
+
]})
|
|
67
|
+
v = check_transcript(t)
|
|
68
|
+
print(v.honest, v.flags[0].kind, v.flags[0].values) # False unsupported-value ('2026-10-24',)
|
|
69
|
+
```
|
|
70
|
+
|
|
71
|
+
It reads the user, the system prompt, the tool calls and their results, and normalizes values so the same fact in different forms ("May 19, 2024" and `2024-05-19`, "$1,024" and `1024`) matches. It knows an agent computes (a refund that's the difference of two returned prices is grounded), and it leaves vague language alone, because exact-match is the honest limit of a checker with no model behind it.
|
|
72
|
+
|
|
73
|
+
For the short, high-yield list, `id_flags(verdict)` keeps only flags about an invented order number or product code, the fabrication that does the most harm.
|
|
74
|
+
|
|
75
|
+
It reads your agent's real logs directly. `to_transcript` takes an **OpenAI** chat log (`tool_calls` / role `tool`), an **Anthropic** messages log (`tool_use` / `tool_result` blocks), or agentguard's own `{"steps": [...]}`, and works out which one it got:
|
|
76
|
+
|
|
77
|
+
```python
|
|
78
|
+
import json
|
|
79
|
+
from agentguard.provenance import check_transcript, to_transcript
|
|
80
|
+
|
|
81
|
+
v = check_transcript(to_transcript(json.load(open("run.json"))))
|
|
82
|
+
```
|
|
83
|
+
|
|
84
|
+
Tool calls a model also writes into its message text (Claude's `<function_calls>` markup) are stripped first, so tool names aren't read as invented claims. On tool-truth's example logs, agentguard prints exactly the flags and values the TypeScript original prints, in the same order (`tests/test_parity.py`).
|
|
85
|
+
|
|
86
|
+
### 3. A benchmark: how often can a command gate be talked around?
|
|
87
|
+
|
|
88
|
+
Give an agent a shell and you put a gate in front of it: a list of commands it may not run. This rewrites a forbidden command in 13 known bypass styles (chaining, quoting, `$IFS`, variable indirection, `awk`, `base64`, equivalent binaries) and counts a bypass **only when the forbidden effect actually happens in a sandbox**.
|
|
89
|
+
|
|
90
|
+
```python
|
|
91
|
+
from agentguard.shell import run_bench, format_report
|
|
92
|
+
|
|
93
|
+
print(format_report(run_bench()))
|
|
94
|
+
```
|
|
95
|
+
|
|
96
|
+
```
|
|
97
|
+
gate bypass rate (bypasses / effective)
|
|
98
|
+
substring-denylist 31% (14/45)
|
|
99
|
+
word-denylist 78% (35/45)
|
|
100
|
+
tokenized-denylist 71% (32/45)
|
|
101
|
+
allowlist 0% (0/45)
|
|
102
|
+
```
|
|
103
|
+
|
|
104
|
+
Two findings worth the whole module: a more precise denylist is not a safer one (whole-word matching misses `rm${IFS}file` that a dumb substring search catches), and only the allowlist, which names what may run and refuses everything else, holds at 0%.

## A pytest plugin
|
|
109
|
+
|
|
110
|
+
Installing agentguard adds fixtures so you can assert on agent behaviour in your own suite:
|
|
111
|
+
|
|
112
|
+
```python
|
|
113
|
+
def test_my_agent_is_grounded(assert_grounded):
|
|
114
|
+
assert_grounded(my_agent_transcript) # fails, listing the invented values
|
|
115
|
+
|
|
116
|
+
def test_my_policy_allows_reads(assert_tool_allowed):
|
|
117
|
+
assert_tool_allowed("crm.read") # fails if the gate wouldn't auto-allow it
|
|
118
|
+
|
|
119
|
+
def test_my_shell_gate_holds(assert_gate_holds):
|
|
120
|
+
assert_gate_holds(my_gate) # fails, listing the commands that got through
|
|
121
|
+
```
|
|
122
|
+
|
|
123
|
+
## A command line
|
|
124
|
+
|
|
125
|
+
```bash
|
|
126
|
+
agentguard check run.json # OpenAI, Anthropic or agentguard format; exit 1 if flagged
|
|
127
|
+
agentguard check run.json --ids-only # only high-confidence invented IDs
|
|
128
|
+
agentguard gate refund.create --cost 9000 --amount 9000
|
|
129
|
+
agentguard bench # the shell-gate scorecard
|
|
130
|
+
agentguard verify-ledger ledger.json # exit 1 and name the first edited entry
|
|
131
|
+
```
|
|
132
|
+
|
|
133
|
+
`agentguard check` exits non-zero when a transcript is flagged, so it can gate a CI job over saved agent runs.
|

## Where this comes from
|
|
138
|
+
|
|
139
|
+
The checker and the benchmark are Python ports of two projects I tested on real data, and the write-ups there carry the honest numbers:
|
|
140
|
+
|
|
141
|
+
- **[tool-truth](https://github.com/zbs-ops/tool-truth)**: the checker, run on 660+ real agent conversations from τ-bench and τ²-bench. The first version was useless on real logs; after fixes it caught agents inventing an order number a customer then relied on. Held-out results, good and bad, are written up in full.
|
|
142
|
+

|
|
143
|
+
- **[agent-governance](https://github.com/zbs-ops/agent-governance)**: the gate and the approval workflow, with a live demo and a tamper-evident audit log.
