+# Claim gate — mcp-assure
+
+Public language must stay **≤ evidence**. Adversarial review will check this file
+against README and tests.
+
+## Allowed now (after `pytest` green on this commit)
+
+| Claim | Evidence |
+|-------|----------|
+| Deny-by-default tool authorization for agent tool calls | P1, P2 tests |
+| Policy can block by velocity, blast, lab flag, freeze, forbidden args | P5–P7, P10–P11 |
+| Decision receipts are hash-chained and tamper-detecting | P9 |
+| Model text cannot authorize a denied call | P8 |
+| Middleware does not execute tool on DENY/DRY_RUN | P3, P4 |
+| Zero runtime dependencies for the core package | `pyproject.toml` |
+| Built-in policy packs load and authorize only listed tools | `tests/test_control_plane_v1.py` |
+| Purple fixtures (unknown tool, authz bindings, velocity) pass | `python -m mcp_assure purple` |
+| Host dispatcher + decorator integration paths exist | integration tests |
+| FastMCP `on_call_tool` middleware denies unknown tools without calling handler | `tests/test_fastmcp_mw.py` + async smoke |
+| Optional verity hook soft-fails without verity installed | verity hook tests |
+
+## Not allowed (do not put on site/X yet)
+
+| Overclaim | Why |
+|-----------|-----|
+| “Full SOC” / “enterprise SOC platform” | Wrong product class; no SIEM/IR product surface |
+| “Stops all MCP attacks” / “unbreakable” | Out of scope per threat model |
+| “CVE-proof” / scanner replacement | mcp-bench shows different problem; this is a runtime gate |
+| “OAuth complete” / “implements full 2026-07-28 auth” | We check bindings when provided; we are not an AS |
+| “Proven in production at scale” | No public deploy proof yet |
+| Any win-rate / detection-rate % without holdout study | N/A and forbidden |
+
+## Recommended public wording

+
+**Deny-by-default assurance runtime for MCP-style tool calls.**
+
+The model proposes. **The gate decides.** Receipts remember.
+
+`mcp-assure` is a plug-in control plane you put **in front of tool execution**: policy catalog, argument constraints, optional resource/audience binding checks, velocity and blast limits, freeze mode, and **hash-chained decision receipts**. It is **not** a full SOC, not a scanner, and not a claim that all agent misuse is impossible.
+
+Built by [Alex Price / StellarRequiem](https://xclusivexo.com). Apache-2.0. **Zero runtime dependencies** (core).  
+Version **0.2.1** adds policy packs, host/decorator integration, **FastMCP `on_call_tool` middleware**, purple stress fixtures, and an optional verity hook.
+
+**Public page:** [xclusivexo.com/mcp-assurance/#mcp-assure](https://xclusivexo.com/mcp-assurance/#mcp-assure)
+
+## Why this exists
+
+MCP hosts give agents tools. Tools are power. Under MCP **2026-07-28**, more security responsibility sits with implementers (stateless core, auth expectations, extensions). Scanners help at build time; **runtime authorization** is still required at the moment of `tools/call`.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+pip install mcp-assure
+# optional FastMCP middleware:
+pip install "mcp-assure[fastmcp]"
+# from git (development tip):
+pip install "git+https://github.com/StellarRequiem/mcp-assure"
+# from a checkout:
+pip install -e ".[dev,fastmcp]"
+```
+
+## Real host demo (local)
+
+Simulates an MCP host `tools/call` path with `AssuredToolDispatcher`:
+
+```bash
+python examples/host_demo.py
+```
+
+Expect: ALLOW for allowlisted tools, DENY for unknown tools / smuggled args, receipts verify.
+
+## 60-second integration
+
+```python
+from mcp_assure import (
+    AssureEngine,
+    AssuredRunner,
+    ToolCall,
+    ToolPolicy,
+    ToolPolicyRegistry,
+)
+
+registry = ToolPolicyRegistry([
+    ToolPolicy(
+        name="read_file",
+        required_args=("path",),
+        allowed_args=("path",),
+        forbidden_args=("token", "password"),
+        max_blast=1,
+    ),
+])
+
+engine = AssureEngine(registry, receipts_path="./mcp-assure-receipts.jsonl")
+
+def read_file(args):
+    # your real implementation
+    return open(args["path"], encoding="utf-8").read()
+
+runner = AssuredRunner(engine, handlers={"read_file": read_file})
+
+out = runner.invoke(ToolCall(tool="read_file", arguments={"path": "README.md"}))
+# out["executed"] is True only if the gate ALLOWed
+# out["verdict"]["receipt_hash"] is the audit seal for this decision
+```
+
+**Property:** on `DENY` / `DRY_RUN`, the handler is **never** called.
+
+## What it enforces (tested)
+
+| ID | Property |
+|----|----------|
+| P1 | Unknown tool → DENY |
+| P2 | Empty catalog → DENY |
+| P3–P4 | DENY/DRY_RUN never invoke handlers |
+| P5–P6 | Velocity / blast limits |
+| P7 | `lab_only` tools require `lab_mode` |
+| P8 | Model notes cannot flip DENY→ALLOW |
+| P9 | Receipt chain verifies; tamper fails |
+| P10 | Freeze mode blocks non-allowlisted tools |
+| P11 | Forbidden / disallowed args → DENY |
+| P12 | Resource/audience mismatch → DENY when configured |
+
+See [`THREAT_MODEL.md`](./THREAT_MODEL.md) and [`CLAIMS.md`](./CLAIMS.md).
+
+## Policy from JSON
+
+```python
+import json
+from mcp_assure import AssureEngine, ToolPolicyRegistry
+
+with open("examples/policy.example.json") as f:
+    reg = ToolPolicyRegistry.from_mapping(json.load(f))
+engine = AssureEngine(reg)
+```
+
+## MCP-shaped payloads
+
+```python
+from mcp_assure.mcp_types import tool_call_from_mcp
+from mcp_assure import AssureEngine, ToolPolicy, ToolPolicyRegistry
+
+engine = AssureEngine(ToolPolicyRegistry([ToolPolicy(name="echo")]))
+call = tool_call_from_mcp({"name": "echo", "arguments": {"text": "hi"}})
+print(engine.evaluate(call).as_dict())
+```
+
+## Policy packs
+
+```python
+from mcp_assure import AssureEngine, load_pack
+
+engine = AssureEngine(load_pack("baseline"))
+# also: mcp_authz_boundaries, strict_local
+```
+
+```bash
+python -m mcp_assure packs
+```
+
+`mcp_authz_boundaries` encodes **runtime** gates for resource/audience-style failures (the class of bugs mcp-bench measures in scanners) — call-time enforcement, not a scanner replacement.
+
+## Host / FastMCP integration
+
+```python
+from mcp_assure.integrations import AssuredToolDispatcher, assure_callable
+# See mcp_assure/integrations/fastmcp_notes.py for patterns.
+```
+
+Dispatcher is the usual host hook for `tools/call`. Decorators wrap kwargs-style tool functions before registration.
+
+### FastMCP middleware (`on_call_tool`)
+
+Requires `pip install "mcp-assure[fastmcp]"` (FastMCP ≥2.9):
+
+```python
+from fastmcp import FastMCP
+from mcp_assure import AssureEngine
+from mcp_assure.packs import load_pack
+from mcp_assure.integrations import build_assure_middleware
+
+engine = AssureEngine(load_pack("baseline"), receipts_path="receipts.jsonl")
+mcp = FastMCP("secured")
+mcp.add_middleware(build_assure_middleware(engine))
+
+@mcp.tool
+def echo(text: str) -> dict:
+    return {"echo": text}
+```
+
+On DENY the middleware raises `ToolError` and **does not** call the tool handler.  
+Demo: `python examples/fastmcp_assured.py`
+
+## Purple stress suite
+
+Synthetic adversarial sequences (no network):
+
+```bash
+python -m mcp_assure purple
+```
+
+## Optional verity hook
+
+If `verity-core` is installed, claim-like tool results can be soft-checked:
+
+```python
+from mcp_assure.verity_hook import maybe_verify_tool_result
+maybe_verify_tool_result({"accuracy": 0.99, "sample_size": 5})
+```
+
+Not required; no-ops cleanly when verity is absent.
+
+## CLI
+
+```bash
+python -m mcp_assure demo
+python -m mcp_assure packs
+python -m mcp_assure purple
+python -m mcp_assure verify-receipts ./mcp-assure-receipts.jsonl
+```
+
+## Adversarial stance
+
+This package is designed to survive **hostile review**:
+
+- Explicit threat model and claim gate  
+- Properties P1–P12 locked to unit tests  
+- No runtime deps in the TCB surface  
+- Residual risk documented (host must not bypass the runner)  
+
+```bash
+pytest -q
+```
+
+## What this is not
+
+- Not a replacement for OAuth authorization servers  
+- Not host EDR / network IDS  
+- Not “stops all prompt injection”  
+- Not a full enterprise SOC platform  
+
+## Related work (StellarRequiem)
+
+- [mcp-bench](https://github.com/StellarRequiem/mcp-bench) — do scanners catch authz-logic bugs?  
+- [scope-gate](https://github.com/StellarRequiem/scope-gate) — deny-by-default research authorization  
+- [verity-core](https://github.com/StellarRequiem/verity-core) — refuse bad claims; audit chains
