+      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

+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.

+# obstat
+
+**An auditable decision record for agent tool calls.** The clearance is written
+down before the call runs — not reconstructed from logs afterwards.
+
+*Nihil obstat*: nothing stands in the way. It was the formal clearance a censor
+granted **in writing, before publication**. That is the whole idea here. An agent
+asks to do something, a rule decides, and the decision goes to disk *before* the
+tool body executes. If the process dies mid-call, the record still says what was
+authorised and why.
+
+```bash
+pip install obstat
+```
+
+No dependencies. Not AWS, not an identity provider, not a policy service — the
+decorator, `tomllib`, `sqlite3` and a file.
+
+## 60 seconds
+
+`obstat.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[[rule]]
+tool = "read_*"
+effect = "allow"
+
+[[rule]]
+tool = "delete_*"
+effect = "approve"
+```
+
+Your tool:
+
+```python
+from obstat import guard
+
+
+@guard(resource="doc:{doc_id}")
+def delete_document(doc_id: str) -> str: ...  # obstat has already decided this may happen
+```
+
+First call returns instead of running:
+
+```python
+>>> delete_document("q3-report")
+{'obstat': 'approval_required',
+ 'approval_id': '4f1c2a9b8e07',
+ 'expires_in_seconds': 900,
+ 'retry': "A human must approve this call. Once approved, call the same tool
+           again with identical arguments plus obstat_approval_id='4f1c2a9b8e07'."}
+```
+
+A human decides:
+
+```console
+$ obstat pending
+4f1c2a9b8e07  delete_document  anonymous  doc:q3-report  871s left
+$ obstat approve 4f1c2a9b8e07
+4f1c2a9b8e07 approved by ana
+```
+
+The agent retries with the id, the call runs, and `.obstat/decisions.jsonl` holds
+the whole story.
+
+## What it is not
+
+There are several good libraries that gate MCP tool calls. This one is built
+around a narrower claim: **the record is the product.** Three things follow from
+that, and they are the reason to pick this over a permission wrapper.
+
+**The decision is durable before the body runs.** Not flushed after, not written
+in a `finally`, not batched. `record.decision()` returns only after `fsync`. A log
+written after the fact is a story about what happened; a record written before it
+is evidence of what was authorised. There is a test that runs inside a tool body,
+reads the log off disk, and fails if its own decision record is not already there.
+
+**Authorisation is per resource, not per tool.** A tier — READ, WRITE,
+DESTRUCTIVE — cannot say "may edit their own ticket, not yours". obstat resolves
+the resource from the call arguments and matches rules against it:
+
+```python
+@guard(resource="jira_issue:{issue_key}")
+```
+
+```toml
+[[rule]]
+subject = "human:ana"
+resource = "jira_issue:ACME-*"
+effect = "allow"
+```
+
+**An approval is bound to one call.** It carries the tool, the subject, the
+resource and a digest of the arguments, and it is single-use. Approving "delete
+q3-report" cannot be spent on deleting something else, and cannot be spent twice.
+This is enforced in one `BEGIN IMMEDIATE` transaction, so two concurrent retries
+cannot both win.
+
+## Identity is optional
+
+Most MCP servers today have no token at all: stdio, one local user, or a gateway
+that already terminated auth. Demanding an identity provider before you can try a
+governance library is why governance libraries go untried. An anonymous call is a
+legitimate call here — it is recorded as `anonymous`, and the policy decides what
+`anonymous` may do.
+
+When you *do* have identity, hand it over:
+
+```python
+from obstat import Subject, set_subject_resolver
+
+set_subject_resolver(lambda: Subject(id=current_user(), kind="human", verified=True))
+```
+
+`verified=False` is the honest flag for identity that came from somewhere a caller
+could influence — a header, an argument. It is recorded, so a reader can tell the
+difference between "Ana did this" and "something claimed to be Ana did this".
+
+## Policy
+
+First matching rule wins. Nothing matching is a deny — an absent rule is not
+permission, and a missing policy file is an error rather than an implicit allow.
+
+| key | matches | default |
+|---|---|---|
+| `tool` | the function name, or `tool=` on the decorator | `*` |
+| `subject` | `human:ana`, `agent:planner`, `service:etl`, `anonymous` | `*` |
+| `resource` | whatever the resource template produced | `*` |
+| `effect` | `allow`, `deny`, `approve` | required |
+
+Patterns are globs. The file is re-read when it changes, so editing policy does
+not need a restart.
+
+## The order
+
+```
+1  reject a caller-supplied subject
+2  stop file
+3  resolve the resource from the arguments
+4  policy
+5  approval, if policy asked for one
+6  write the decision record — durable      <-- before, not after
+7  run the body
+8  write the outcome — best effort
+```
+
+Step 1 exists because `subject` is stripped from the tool's advertised signature.
+A client that sends one anyway is trying to name itself, and that is a denial
+before anything reads the value.
+
+Step 8 is deliberately not durable. If the process dies between 7 and 8 the record
+reads "authorised, outcome unknown", which is the honest state; paying for a second
+`fsync` to say something merely informative is the wrong trade.
+
+## Operator commands
+
+```console
+obstat pending              # approvals waiting on a human
+obstat approve <id> [--by]  # decide
+obstat deny <id> [--by]
+obstat log -n 50            # the decision record
+obstat stop                 # deny every guarded call
+obstat resume
+```
+
+`obstat stop` is checked before policy, so stopping never depends on the policy
+file still being parseable.
+
+## What is not here yet
+
+Arguments are fingerprinted (`sha256:…`), never stored — tool arguments carry
+credentials and personal data, and a governance log that leaks them is a liability
+rather than a control. A per-key allowlist for recording chosen values is the

+approval channels, a policy for where a result may be *sent*, and anything that
+talks to a cloud. Those belong at the edges, and the edges should be adapters
+rather than dependencies.

+## Configuration

+| `OBSTAT_LOG` | `.obstat/decisions.jsonl` |
+| `OBSTAT_DB` | `.obstat/approvals.db` |
+| `OBSTAT_HALT` | `.obstat/halt` |
+
+Read at call time, never at import. A library that raises on import is a library
+you cannot try.
