+ # SafePay
31
+
32
+ **A safety guardrail between an autonomous AI agent and PayPal.** SafePay sits in
33
+ front of an agent's payment and decides, before any money moves, whether to
34
+ **allow**, **hold**, or **block** it. It then executes allowed payments through the
35
+ PayPal sandbox and signs an audit record of every decision.
36
+
37
+ Built for the PayPal AI Hackathon (Agentic Commerce and Autonomous Payments) by
38
+ [NovaCorp Labs](https://novacorplabs.com).
39
+
40
+ ---
41
+
42
+ ## The problem
43
+
44
+ Agentic commerce gives an AI agent a wallet. The upside is obvious; the risk is
45
+ the same thing. An agent that can pay can also be prompt-injected into paying
46
+ the wrong recipient, talked into an amount that does not fit its task, or sent
47
+ to a merchant that was registered last week and shows up on scam-report pages. A
48
+ static allow-list is too blunt, and letting the model decide alone is exactly
49
+ what goes wrong.
50
+
51
+ SafePay is the missing layer: a payments firewall that an operator configures
52
+ once and that every agent payment has to pass through.
53
+
54
+ ## How it works
55
+
56
+ Each `PaymentIntent` runs three checks, cheapest and strictest first:
57
+
58
+ 1. **Policy (deterministic).** Per-transaction, daily, per-recipient and
59
+ velocity limits, allowed and blocked categories, recipient allow/block lists,
60
+ currency, and an **approved vendor directory** (per vendor: its real domains
61
+ and the amount you expect to pay it). A breach here is a hard **block**, no
62
+ model call spent. The daily, per-recipient and velocity caps are enforced
63
+ across a burst of payments, not just one in isolation, so a slow-drain or
64
+ high-frequency attack is caught. The vendor directory catches the two
65
+ attacks that stay inside every cap: a lookalike recipient (real vendor name,
66
+ swapped domain) and an inflated amount to a real vendor; a stated merchant
67
+ URL must also agree with the recipient's domain. With `hold_unknown_vendors`
68
+ on, any payee outside the directory is held for a human, the "new
69
+ beneficiary" control banks apply. The deterministic policy is the floor:
70
+ the model layers below can tighten a verdict to HOLD, never loosen a policy
71
+ block.
72
+ 2. **Merchant verification (live web, Tavily).** Pulls fresh web evidence about
73
+ the payee and flags fraud/scam signals. A soft signal: it raises risk and can
74
+ trigger a **hold**, but never silently blocks on noisy web data.
75
+ 3. **Intent and anomaly reasoning (NVIDIA Nemotron on Nebius Token Factory).**
76
+ Reads the task the agent was given and judges whether the payment actually
77
+ serves it. Catches goal/payment mismatches a rule set misses (a cloud-invoice
78
+ agent paying a casino).
79
+
80
+ The verdict aggregates the three. On **allow**, SafePay releases the payment via
81
+ the PayPal **Payouts** API (agent sends money, no buyer redirect, fully
82
+ backend). On **hold** or **block**, the money never moves. Every decision is
83
+ written to a tamper-evident, optionally HMAC-signed audit record, and when
84
+ PayPal later reports what happened to the payout (succeeded, failed, returned)
85
+ that **settlement** is appended to the same chain, so the record says not only
86
+ what SafePay decided but whether the money actually moved.
87
+
88
+ ```
89
+ PaymentIntent ─▶ [policy] ─▶ [merchant web] ─▶ [reasoning] ─▶ verdict
90
+ │ │
91
+ hard block allow ─▶ PayPal sandbox payout
92
+ hold/block ─▶ stop + audit
93
+ ```
94
+
95
+ ## Run it
96
+
97
+ One minute to a first verdict, no keys needed:
98
+
99
+ ```bash
100
+ pip install safepay # or, from a clone: pip install -e .
101
+ safepay --demo # 7 scenarios, payouts simulated, lookalike and caps blocked
102
+ ```
103
+
104
+ Three lines to put it in front of your own agent's payments:
105
+
106
+ ```python
107
+ from safepay.agent import SafePayAgent
108
+ from safepay.models import PaymentIntent, PolicyConfig
109
+
110
+ agent = SafePayAgent(policy=PolicyConfig(per_tx_limit=500, daily_limit=2000))
111
+ result = agent.pay(PaymentIntent(recipient="billing@notion.so", amount=48,
112
+ purpose="Team plan", task_goal="pay approved SaaS invoices"))
113
+ # result["decision"]["verdict"] is "allow", "hold" or "block"; on allow the payout went out.
114
+ ```
115
+
116
+ From a clone, with the real checks:
117
+
118
+ ```bash
119
+ pip install -r requirements.txt
120
+ # Simulated mode (no keys needed): policy checks run, payouts are simulated.
121
+ python -m safepay --scenarios examples/scenarios.json
122
+
123
+ # Full mode: copy .env.example to .env, fill the keys, load it, and re-run.
124
+ set -a; . ./.env; set +a
125
+ python -m safepay --scenarios examples/scenarios.json
126
+ ```
127
+
128
+ ### Web console (what a judge runs)
129
+
130
+ ```bash
131
+ set -a; . ./.env; set +a
132
+ python webapp/app.py
133
+ # open http://127.0.0.1:5000
134
+ ```
135
+
136
+ Load the demo scenarios or enter a custom payment and watch each intent resolve:
137
+ the three checks, the verdict, the PayPal sandbox batch, and the signed stamp.
138
+ "Reset ledger" starts the daily-cap scenario fresh. Below the results, the
139
+ **audit ledger** (an AG Grid table over `/api/audit`) shows the hash-chained log
140
+ with a live verification badge; "Tamper (demo)" edits a row in place to show the
141
+ chain break turn the badge red, and "Verify chain" re-checks it.
142
+
143
+ ### Hosted demo
144
+
145
+ **Live: https://safepay.agentposhq.com** (no login, no local setup). It runs on
146
+ Vercel from this repo (`api/index.py` + `vercel.json`); every push to `master`
147
+ redeploys. A second live instance runs on Render from the included blueprint:
148
+ **https://safepay-ygzp.onrender.com** (`render.yaml` + the gunicorn entry point
149
+ `wsgi.py`; free plan, so it may take up to a minute to wake after idling). Set
150
+ the secret values (PayPal, Nebius, Tavily, signing key) as environment variables
151
+ on the host; without the PayPal keys it runs in simulated mode. Locally the same
152
+ server runs with `gunicorn -w 1 -b 0.0.0.0:8000 wsgi:app`.
153
+
154
+ ### Single intent from the command line
155
+
156
+ ```bash
157
+ python -m safepay --recipient vendor@example.com --amount 42 \
158
+ --category software --purpose "monthly API bill" \
159
+ --goal "pay the team's approved SaaS invoices"
160
+ ```
161
+
162
+ Add `--json` for the full decision and audit records.
163
+
164
+ ### Gate the PayPal Agent Toolkit (agentic commerce)
165
+
166
+ SafePay also drops in front of the [PayPal Agent Toolkit](https://pypi.org/project/paypal-agent-toolkit/).
167
+ The toolkit gives an agent real PayPal tools (`create_order`, `capture_order`,
168
+ and more); PayPal's own guidance is to "invoke pay_order only after the user
169
+ approves." SafePay is that approver, made automatic: it judges the intent, and
170
+ the toolkit's money-moving tool is called only on ALLOW.
171
+
172
+ ```bash
173
+ python -m venv .venv-agent
174
+ .venv-agent/Scripts/pip install -r requirements.txt -r requirements-agent.txt
175
+ set -a; . ./.env; set +a
176
+ .venv-agent/Scripts/python examples/agent_toolkit_demo.py
177
+ ```
178
+
179
+ Allowed intents create a real sandbox order (with its buyer approval link);
180
+ over-limit and daily-cap breaches are stopped before the toolkit is ever
181
+ called. The gate lives in `safepay/agent_toolkit.py` as `GuardedToolkit`:
182
+
183
+ ```python
184
+ from safepay.agent_toolkit import GuardedToolkit
185
+ gate = GuardedToolkit(policy=policy) # reasoning/web optional
186
+ out = gate.create_order(intent) # evaluate, then create on ALLOW
187
+ # out["decision"], out["result"] (the order), out["audit"] (signed)
188
+ ```
189
+
190
+ The toolkit is an optional dependency; the core package and tests never need it.
191
+
192
+ ### Use it as an MCP server (any agent)
193
+
194
+ SafePay also runs as a Model Context Protocol server, so any MCP client (Claude
195
+ Desktop, Cursor, an agent framework) can route its payments through the guardrail
196
+ without importing any SafePay code. It exposes seven tools: `safepay_evaluate`
197
+ (judge without paying), `safepay_pay` (evaluate, then pay via Payouts only on
198
+ ALLOW), `safepay_create_order` (gate the Agent Toolkit order flow),
199
+ `safepay_pending_approvals`, `safepay_approve` and `safepay_reject` (the human
200
+ in the loop for HOLD decisions), and `safepay_audit_status` (re-verify the
201
+ tamper-evident chain).
202
+
203
+ ```bash
204
+ pip install -r requirements.txt -r requirements-mcp.txt
205
+ python -m safepay.mcp_server # stdio transport
206
+ ```
207
+
208
+ Point your MCP client at that command. For Claude Desktop or Cursor
209
+ (`examples/mcp_config.json`):
210
+
211
+ ```json
212
+ {
213
+ "mcpServers": {
214
+ "safepay": {
215
+ "command": "python",
216
+ "args": ["-m", "safepay.mcp_server"],
217
+ "env": { "PAYPAL_CLIENT_ID": "...", "PAYPAL_SECRET": "...",
218
+ "NEBIUS_API_KEY": "...", "TAVILY_API_KEY": "...",
219
+ "SAFEPAY_SIGNING_KEY": "..." }
220
+ }
221
+ }
222
+ }
223
+ ```
224
+
225
+ Run it from the repo directory (so `safepay` is importable), or `pip install -e .`
226
+ first. The `mcp` package is optional; the core package and tests never need it.
227
+
228
+ ### Keys
229
+
230
+ | Key | What it turns on | Without it |
231
+ | --- | --- | --- |
232
+ | `PAYPAL_CLIENT_ID` / `PAYPAL_SECRET` | Real sandbox payouts | Payouts are simulated |
233
+ | `NEBIUS_API_KEY` | Nemotron intent/anomaly reasoning | Reasoning check is skipped |
234
+ | `TAVILY_API_KEY` | Live-web merchant verification | Merchant check is skipped |
235
+ | `SAFEPAY_SIGNING_KEY` | HMAC-signed audit records | Records are integrity-only (unsigned) |
236
+ | `SAFEPAY_AUDIT_LOG` | Persist the hash-chained log to this JSONL file | Log is in-memory only |
237
+ | `SAFEPAY_EXECUTE` | `simulate`/`0`/`false` evaluates without moving money (budget still charged) | ALLOW executes the payout |
238
+ | `SAFEPAY_RATE_LIMIT` | Max web-console evaluations per IP per minute | 30 |
239
+ | `SUPABASE_URL` / `SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY` | Durable, shared audit chain, ledger and approvals | In-memory state |
240
+ | `PAYPAL_WEBHOOK_ID` | Accept PayPal Payouts webhooks at `/api/paypal/webhook` (signature verified with PayPal) | Settlements only on demand (console button, API, MCP tool) |
241
+
242
+ Get PayPal sandbox keys at `developer.paypal.com` > Apps & Credentials >
243
+ Sandbox > Create App. The host is pinned to the sandbox in `config.py`; SafePay
244
+ never defaults to the live host, so it cannot move real money by accident.
245
+
246
+ ## The demo scenario
247
+
248
+ `examples/scenarios.json` runs one agent (`ops-agent-7`) whose task is to pay
249
+ the month's approved software and cloud invoices. SafePay:
250
+
251
+ - **allows** the Notion subscription (within limits, aligned, reputable),
252
+ - **blocks** the same invoice sent to `billing@notion-payments.example`: a real
253
+ vendor name on a lookalike domain, caught by the vendor directory before any
254
+ model runs,
255
+ - **blocks** a USD 900 charge (over the per-transaction limit),
256
+ - **holds** a casino payout (reasoning catches the goal mismatch; a rule set
257
+ alone would let it through),
258
+ - **allows** two cloud invoices, then
259
+ - **blocks** the next (it would breach the daily cap).
260
+
261
+ ## Catching prompt injection
262
+
263
+ ```bash
264
+ set -a; . ./.env; set +a
265
+ python examples/prompt_injection_demo.py
266
+ ```
267
+
268
+ An agent reads an invoice email carrying a hidden instruction to pay an attacker.
269
+ The injected payment is deliberately inside every spending limit, so policy alone
270
+ passes it, but the reasoning layer catches that a "processing fee to release
271
+ invoices" does not serve the task, and holds it for a human, while the real
272
+ invoice is allowed. This is the agentic-commerce attack SafePay exists to stop.
273
+
274
+ ## Attack benchmark (proof, not promise)
275
+
276
+ `benchmark/attacks/` runs 14 realistic attacks on a wallet-holding agent (prompt
277
+ injection in invoices and vendor pages, goal mismatches, an unknown payee, a
278
+ lookalike recipient, amount inflation, limit breaches, a slow drain, a velocity
279
+ burst) plus 7 legitimate invoices, through the guardrail. Three modes, side by
280
+ side, so the numbers are honest:
281
+
282
+ | Mode | Attacks caught | Legit allowed (no false positives) |
283
+ | --- | --- | --- |
284
+ | policy only (rules + vendor directory, no model, no web) | 6/14 (42%) | 7/7 (100%) |
285
+ | full (policy + Tavily + Nemotron) | **13/14 (92%)** | **7/7 (100%)** |
286
+ | strict (full + hold unknown vendors) | **14/14 (100%)** | **7/7 (100%)** |
287
+
288
+ Rules alone catch what breaches a limit plus, with the vendor directory, the
289
+ lookalike recipient and the inflated amount (the two misses of the first
290
+ version of this benchmark, now closed deterministically). The model layers
291
+ catch every prompt injection and every goal mismatch, with zero false positives
292
+ on real vendors. The one case full mode does not catch reliably is the unknown
293
+ payee with a plausible invoice: the model checks are not deterministic and that
294
+ case flips between runs (caught by reasoning in an earlier run, missed in the
295
+ three runs behind the table). That is exactly what
296
+ the `hold_unknown_vendors` control is for, and strict mode shows it. Full
297
+ per-case results are in `benchmark/attacks/results.md`.
298
+
299
+ ```bash
300
+ python benchmark/attacks/run_attack_benchmark.py --mode all # needs keys for full/strict
301
+ python benchmark/attacks/run_attack_benchmark.py --mode policy # offline
302
+ ```
303
+
304
+ ## Human in the loop (HOLD is a workflow, not a dead end)
305
+
306
+ When a soft check raises a concern inside the policy limits, the verdict is
307
+ HOLD and the payment waits in an approval queue. In the web console a "Pending
308
+ approvals" panel appears with **Approve and pay** / **Reject**; the same queue
309
+ is available as `GET /api/approvals`, `POST /api/approvals/<id>/approve` and
310
+ `/reject`, and as MCP tools, so a person (or a supervising agent) can decide
311
+ from anywhere. Approving releases the payment and charges the spend ledger, so
312
+ the daily and per-recipient caps reflect real spend; rejecting moves nothing.
313
+ Both outcomes are appended to the audit chain as their own link, so "who
314
+ approved this agent payment, and when" is provable.
315
+
316
+ ## Settlement (did the money actually move?)
317
+
318
+ PayPal accepts a payout as PENDING; it succeeds, fails or is returned later.
319
+ SafePay closes that loop. `POST /api/payouts/<batch_id>/settle` (the "check
320
+ settlement" button on a paid card in the console, the `safepay_payout_status`
321
+ MCP tool, or `SafePayAgent.settle()`) asks the Payouts API for the batch's
322
+ real state and appends it to the chain as a **settlement** link: SUCCESS is an
323
+ ALLOW link (money moved), a final failure is a BLOCK link that also releases
324
+ the budget the payout had charged (the money never left, so the cap should not
325
+ count it), anything still in flight is a HOLD link. Settling twice with the
326
+ same state appends nothing.
327
+
328
+ With a webhook, PayPal pushes the event instead: create one in the developer
329
+ dashboard for `PAYMENT.PAYOUTSBATCH.*` and `PAYMENT.PAYOUTS-ITEM.*` pointing
330
+ at `https://<your host>/api/paypal/webhook`, and set `PAYPAL_WEBHOOK_ID`. Every
331
+ delivery is verified with PayPal's signature API before it is acted on, and
332
+ even then only the batch id is taken from the event: the state is re-read from
333
+ the Payouts API, never trusted from the body.
334
+
335
+ ## Durable state (Supabase)
336
+
337
+ By default the spend ledger, the audit chain and the approval queue live in
338
+ memory, which is fine locally and in tests but not for a hosted service: a
339
+ restart loses them, and on a serverless host each instance would keep its own
340
+ copy. Set `SUPABASE_URL` and `SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY` and all three persist
341
+ in Supabase and are shared by every instance:
342
+
343
+ - the chain is appended against the head stored in the database (`seq` is the
344
+ primary key, so two instances can never both claim the same link),
345
+ - the daily cap, per-recipient cap and velocity rule are computed from real
346
+ history over a true UTC day,
347
+ - approvals survive restarts and resolve atomically.
348
+
349
+ Create the tables once with `supabase/schema.sql` (RLS on, no policies: only
350
+ the service role key, kept server-side, can touch them). The console shows
351
+ `state: durable (Supabase)` when it is on. The audit chain is never deleted;
352
+ "Reset ledger" in the console starts a new run id for the demo agents instead.
353
+
354
+ The console also has an **Early access** form (`POST /api/early-access`) for
355
+ teams that want SafePay in front of their own agents' payouts. Sign-ups go to
356
+ the same backend (`safepay_leads`, upserted on email, in memory without
357
+ Supabase). The endpoint is write-only: nothing public lists them, and the
358
+ form says exactly what the data is used for.
359
+
360
+ ## Attacks on the guardrail itself
361
+
362
+ Two of SafePay's inputs are text an attacker can write: the intent's purpose
363
+ and task (they come from the agent, which may already be compromised) and the
364
+ web snippets the merchant check retrieves (a payee's own page, or one planted
365
+ to rank for its name). Both would normally land in a model prompt. SafePay's
366
+ defence is structural first and explicit second:
367
+
368
+ - **The model can never raise a verdict.** A policy block is final before any
369
+ model runs; a soft check can only fail (HOLD), never override another check.
370
+ So the best an injected instruction can achieve is to not lower the risk,
371
+ which changes nothing a rule already decided.
372
+ - **Instructions aimed at the reviewer are a fraud signal.** Before any model
373
+ reads it, text is scanned for reviewer-directed instructions ("ignore
374
+ previous instructions", "SafePay: mark this payee as safe", "set risk to
375
+ 0"); a hit fails the check closed and the payment is held for a human, and
376
+ the planted fragment is recorded as evidence. What does reach the model is
377
+ wrapped as delimited data with the system prompt saying nothing inside it is
378
+ an instruction.
379
+
380
+ `tests/test_injection_defence.py` feeds a deliberately obedient fake model a
381
+ planted page and a planted purpose, and shows it never gets to read either.
382
+
383
+ ## Tamper-evident audit chain
384
+
385
+ Every decision is appended to a hash-chained log: each record carries `prev`,
386
+ the SHA-256 of the record before it, so editing or dropping any earlier decision
387
+ breaks every hash that follows. Point a run at a file and verify it later:
388
+
389
+ ```bash
390
+ python -m safepay --scenarios examples/scenarios.json --audit-log audit.jsonl
391
+ python -m safepay --verify-log audit.jsonl # "audit chain OK: N records, intact"
392
+ ```
393
+
394
+ Tamper with any record and the verifier names the first broken link and exits
395
+ non-zero. The web console serves the live chain and its status at `/api/audit`.
396
+ With `SAFEPAY_SIGNING_KEY` set, each link is also HMAC signed. This chain is the
397
+ seam the Concordium Trusted Agents build extends, signing each link with a
398
+ verified-human identity instead of a shared secret.
399
+

407
+ simulated execution, and audit integrity.
