Safety certification for autonomous AI agents
As AI agents gain tool-use capabilities — executing code, making API calls, modifying databases — every action becomes a proposed state change that needs safety certification before execution. The same kernel architecture applies.
Pre-execution safety for every agent action
The QAE kernel sits between the agent’s intent and the outside world. Every proposed action is certified against multiple constraint channels before it executes.
Pre-Execution Interception
Every agent tool call — file system writes, API requests, database mutations, code execution — passes through the safety kernel before execution. The agent proposes; the kernel certifies or blocks. No action bypasses the constraint evaluation.
Multi-Dimensional Safety
Scope constraints (is this action within the agent’s authorized domain?), reversibility constraints (can this be undone?), rate limiting (action frequency bounds), data access constraints (PII, credentials, secrets), and resource consumption limits — all evaluated in parallel.
Hash-Chained Evidence Trail
Every certification decision — certified, warning, escalated, or blocked — is appended to a hash-chained audit log with SHA-256 integrity. Tamper-evident. Append-only. Every agent action is accountable, every decision is reproducible.
Benchmarks
Production measurements from the Rust engine. Deterministic, reproducible, and fast enough for real-time agent certification.
| Metric | Result | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Agentic Certification | 5 channels | Budget, rate, scope, reversibility, data sensitivity — evaluated per agent action before execution |
| Supplementary Analysis | Enabled | Binding constraint detection + barrier certificate verification in every v2 response |
| Certificate Hashing | SHA-256 | Deterministic, pipe-delimited canonical form. BTreeMap ordering. Bit-identical across runs |
