Every decision gets a signed release token. Every action gets a hash-chained record. Every intent gets a cryptographic binding to its command. Downstream services verify independently — no callbacks, no trust assumptions. **Base URL:** `https://governance.taskhawktech.com` ## Data Handling This plugin sends data to the Kevros governance gateway. Understand what is transmitted before installing. **Before tool execution** (`before_tool_call` hook): - Tool name and full input payload are sent to `POST /governance/verify` for policy evaluation. - The gateway hashes raw payloads (SHA-256) on receipt. Only digests are stored in the provenance chain. **After tool execution** (`after_tool_call` hook): - Tool name, a **truncated output summary (up to 500 characters)**, and governance metadata (release token, epoch, verification ID) are sent to `POST /governance/attest`. - If tool output contains sensitive data, the 500-char summary may include it. Review your tool outputs before enabling attestation, or disable post-execution attestation by setting `autoAttest: false` in config. **Network behavior:** - All transmissions use HTTPS to `https://governance.taskhawktech.com`. - If `KEVROS_API_KEY` is not set, the plugin calls `POST /signup` to auto-provision a free-tier key on first use (1,000 calls/month). Set the key explicitly to avoid implicit network signup. - In `enforce` mode (default), unreachable gateway blocks high-risk tool calls. Use `advisory` mode for evaluation — it logs decisions without blocking. ## Quick Start Get an API key (free, instant, no payment): ```bash curl -X POST https://governance.taskhawktech.com/signup \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"agent_id": "your-agent-id"}' ``` Response: ```json { "api_key": "kvrs_...", "tier": "free", "monthly_limit": 1000, "usage": { "header": "X-API-Key" } } ``` Use the API key in all subsequent requests via the `X-API-Key` header. ## Precision Decisioning **POST /governance/verify** Verify an action against policy bounds before execution. Returns ALLOW, CLAMP, or DENY with a cryptographic release token that any downstream service can verify independently. Request: ```json { "action_type": "api_call", "action_payload": { "endpoint": "/deploy", "service": "api-v2", "replicas": 3 }, "agent_id": "your-agent-id", "policy_context": { "max_values": { "replicas": 5 }, "forbidden_keys": ["sudo", "force"] } } ``` Response: ```json { "decision": "ALLOW", "verification_id": "a1b2c3d4-...", "release_token": "f7a8b9c0...", "applied_action": { "endpoint": "/deploy", "service": "api-v2", "replicas": 3 }, "reason": "All values within policy bounds", "epoch": 42, "provenance_hash": "e3b0c442...", "timestamp_utc": "2026-02-26T12:00:00Z" } ``` - **ALLOW** — proceed as planned. The `release_token` is proof. - **CLAMP** — action was adjusted to safe bounds. Use `applied_action` instead of your original. - **DENY** — action rejected. Do not proceed. `release_token` is null. Share the `release_token` with collaborating agents so they can independently verify the decision. ## Provenance Attestation **POST /governance/attest** Record a completed action in a hash-chained, append-only evidence ledger. Each attestation extends your provenance chain. Your raw payload is SHA-256 hashed — actual data is never stored. Request: ```json { "agent_id": "your-agent-id", "action_description": "Deployed api-v2 with 3 replicas", "action_payload": { "service": "api-v2", "replicas": 3, "status": "success" }, "context": { "environment": "production", "triggered_by": "scheduled" } } ``` Response: ```json { "attestation_id": "b2c3d4e5-...", "epoch": 43, "hash_prev": "e3b0c442...", "hash_curr": "a1b2c3d4...", "timestamp_utc": "2026-02-26T12:00:01Z", "chain_length": 43 } ``` A longer chain with consistent outcomes builds a higher trust score over time. ## Intent Binding **POST /governance/bind** Bind a declared intent to a specific command. Creates a cryptographic link between what you plan to do and the command that does it. Prove later that you did exactly what you said you would. Request: ```json { "agent_id": "your-agent-id", "intent_type": "MAINTENANCE", "intent_description": "Scale api-v2 to handle traffic spike", "command_payload": { "action": "scale", "service": "api-v2", "replicas": 5 }, "goal_state": { "replicas": 5, "healthy": true } } ``` Response: ```json { "intent_id": "c3d4e5f6-...", "intent_hash": "d4e5f6a7...", "binding_id": "e5f6a7b8-...", "binding_hmac": "a7b8c9d0...", "command_hash": "b8c9d0e1...", "epoch": 44, "timestamp_utc": "2026-02-26T12:00:02Z" } ``` Save `intent_id` and `binding_id` to verify outcomes later. ## Verify Outcome **POST /governance/verify-outcome** Verify whether a bound intent achieved its goal state. Free when used with a prior `bind()` call. Request: ```json { "agent_id": "your-agent-id", "intent_id": "c3d4e5f6-...", "binding_id": "e5f6a7b8-...", "actual_state": { "replicas": 5, "healthy": true }, "tolerance": 0.1 } ``` Response: ```json { "verification_id": "f6a7b8c9-...", "intent_id": "c3d4e5f6-...", "status": "ACHIEVED", "achieved_percentage": 100.0, "discrepancy": null, "evidence_hash": "c9d0e1f2...", "timestamp_utc": "2026-02-26T12:00:03Z" } ``` Status values: `ACHIEVED`, `PARTIALLY_ACHIEVED`, `FAILED`, `BLOCKED`, `TIMEOUT`. Free when used with a prior `bind()` call. ## Compliance Bundle **POST /governance/bundle** — $0.05 per call Export your agent's full cryptographic trust record for compliance, auditing, or regulatory review. Request: ```json { "agent_id": "your-agent-id", "time_range_start": "2026-02-25T00:00:00Z", "time_range_end": "2026-02-26T12:00:00Z", "include_intent_chains": true, "include_pqc_signatures": true, [REDACTED_SECRET]: true } ``` Response: ```json { "bundle_id": "d4e5f6a7-...", "agent_id": "your-agent-id", "record_count": 42, "truncated": false, "chain_integrity": true, "time_range": {"start": "2026-02-25T00:00:00Z", "end": "2026-02-26T12:00:00Z"}, "records": ["..."], "intent_chains": ["..."], "pqc_signatures": ["..."], "verification_instructions": "Recompute SHA-256...", "bundle_hash": "e5f6a7b8...", "timestamp_utc": "2026-02-26T12:00:04Z" } ``` ## Batch Operations **POST /governance/batch** Execute up to 100 governance operations (verify, attest, bind) in a single call. Each sub-operation is metered individually at standard rates. Use for bulk processing or multi-step workflows. Request: ```json { "agent_id": "your-agent-id", "operations": [ { "type": "verify", "params": { "action_type": "api_call", "action_payload": {"endpoint": "/deploy", "replicas": 3} } }, { "type": "attest", "params": { "action_description": "Deployment completed", "action_payload": {"status": "success"} } } ], "stop_on_deny": false } ``` Response: ```json { "batch_id": "g7h8i9j0-...", "agent_id": "your-agent-id", "total": 2, "executed": 2, "results": [ {"index": 0, "type": "verify", "status": "ok", "result": {"decision": "ALLOW", "...": "..."}}, {"index": 1, "type": "attest", "status": "ok", "result": {"attestation_id": "...", "...": "..."}} ], "summary": {"allow": 1, "clamp": 0, "deny": 0, "attest": 1, "bind": 0, "error": 0}, "batch_hash": "a1b2c3d4..." } ``` If `stop_on_deny` is true, processing halts on the first DENY decision. ## Capability Delegation **POST /governance/delegate** Grant scoped, time-limited capabilities to another agent. The delegation is HMAC-signed and recorded in the provenance chain. Supports hierarchical sub-delegation with restrictive scope intersection. Request: ```json { "delegator_agent_id": "your-agent-id", "delegatee_agent_id": "helper-agent-42", "scope": { "allowed_endpoints": ["verify", "attest"], "policy_overrides": {"max_values": {"replicas": 3}}, "max_calls": 100 }, "ttl_seconds": 3600, "description": "Handle deployment verification", "allow_subdelegation": false } ``` Response: ```json { "delegation_id": "h8i9j0k1-...", "delegation_token": "f7a8b9c0...", "delegator_agent_id": "your-agent-id", "delegatee_agent_id": "helper-agent-42", "scope": {"allowed_endpoints": ["verify", "attest"], "max_calls": 100}, "expires_utc": "2026-02-26T13:00:00Z", "provenance_hash": "b8c9d0e1...", "chain_depth": 1 } ``` The delegatee passes the `delegation_token` as `X-Delegate-Token` header when acting on behalf of the delegator. **GET /governance/delegations/{agent_id}** — list active delegations for an agent. **DELETE /governance/delegations/{delegation_id}** — revoke an active delegation. ## Reversibility Check **POST /governance/check-reversibility** Check whether an intent chain can be reversed. Pre-abort safety check for multi-step workflows. Request: ```json { "intent_id": "c3d4e5f6-...", "include_children": true } ``` Returns reversibility status, constraints, time elapsed, and child dependency analysis. ## Policy Replay **POST /governance/replay** Replay provenance records through an alternative policy. Deterministic "what-if" analysis: "What would have happened if we'd used policy X instead?" Request: ```json { "agent_id": "your-agent-id", "template_id": "strict_safety", "limit": 50 } ``` Response: ```json { "total_replayed": 50, "replay_policy": {"max_values": {"speed": 3.0}}, "changes": {"upgraded": 5, "downgraded": 12, "unchanged": 33}, "results": [ { "epoch": 42, "agent_id": "your-agent-id", "action_type": "motor_command", "original_decision": "ALLOW", "replayed_decision": "CLAMP", "change": "more_restrictive" } ] } ``` Use for policy regression testing before deploying new policies, or forensic investigation. ## Counterfactual Analysis **POST /governance/counterfactual** Simulate an action against multiple policies simultaneously. Returns a decision matrix showing how each policy handles the same action. Request: ```json { "action_payload": {"endpoint": "/deploy", "replicas": 10}, "action_type": "api_call", "policies": [ {"label": "conservative", "template_id": "strict_safety"}, {"label": "permissive", "policy_context": {"max_values": {"replicas": 20}}}, {"label": "deny-all", "policy_context": {"forbidden_keys": ["replicas"]}} ], "include_historical": true, "agent_id": "your-agent-id" } ``` Response includes consensus analysis (do all policies agree?), decision distribution, and optional historical comparison. ## Intent Navigation **GET /governance/intents/{intent_id}/children** Return all direct child intents of a parent intent.

DENY means DENY. Release tokens are only issued for ALLOW/CLAMP. - **advisory** — shadow mode. DENY decisions are logged but overridden to ALLOW. No release token is issued for would-be denials. Use for testing policies before enforcing them. - **gated** — human-in-the-loop. DENY decisions are held for operator approval. Poll `/governance/gated/{request_id}` for status. - **deny** — kill-switch. ALL requests are blocked regardless of policy evaluation. Use for emergency shutdown. The `enforcement_mode` field is returned in every verify response. Use `/enforcement` to check your current mode. Enforcement mode changes require admin-level access and are not available through the plugin. Contact your administrator or use the admin API directly. ## Decision Approach When collaborating with another agent: 1. **Check their passport first** — `GET /passport/{agent_id}` returns trust score, tier, and history 2. **Embed badges** — Use `GET /passport/{agent_id}/badge.svg` in your agent's description to show your trust level 3. **Trust thresholds:** - **Gold tier (score >= 90%)** — proceed with normal collaboration - **Silver tier (score 50-89%)** — verify their actions before relying on results - **Bronze tier (score < 50%)** — require bound intents with outcome verification - **No history** — start with small, low-risk interactions and build trust incrementally 4. **Verify before you rely** — Use `/governance/verify-token` to independently confirm any release token a peer shares with you ## Pricing **Subscriptions:** - **Free tier:** 1,000 calls/month, instant signup, no payment required - **Scout:** $29/mo — 5,000 calls - **Sentinel:** $149/mo — 50,000 calls - **Sovereign:** $499/mo — 500,000 calls **Per-call (via x402 USDC, no subscription required):** - Verify: $0.01 - Attest: $0.02 - Bind: $0.02 - Media Attest: $0.05 - Compliance Bundle: $0.05 - Batch: each sub-operation metered individually - Verify Outcome: free with Bind - Delegation, Replay, Counterfactual, Export, Health, Audit: metered per call - Passport, Media Verify, Reputation, Verify Token, Policy Templates: free Subscription calls are metered against your monthly allowance. x402 per-call pricing applies when paying per-call without a subscription.
