Agent Safety Checks v0.1 are lightweight APIs that help AI agents verify actions before and after calling external tools. Agent Safety Checks v0.1 は、AIエージェントが外部ツールを使う前後に、安全確認するための軽量API群です。
Scan prompts before an AI agent calls tools, stores memory, or makes paid API requests. Part of Agent Control Primitives — the missing security layer in CDP Bazaar.
A working prototype API for checking prompt-injection and unsafe input risks before AI agents call external APIs.
This project is part of a small AI-agent infrastructure safety stack.
It focuses on one layer of the emerging problem: how to control autonomous agents before they call APIs, spend money, write memory, or execute external tools.
AI agents are probabilistic. But payments, permissions, memory writes, and external actions require deterministic control.
Related components:
- Agent Security Gateway — Prompt injection and policy evasion detection
- Agent Budget Guard — Budget and permission check before payment
- Agent Memory API — Audit-ready memory storage
- Agent Evolution Engine — Orchestration across the stack
- Spec-to-Guardrail API — Extract safety rules from API specs
All APIs are indexed in CDP Bazaar and support x402-style payments.
This is an independent experimental project. It is not officially affiliated with JPYC, Circle, Arc, Kaia, OpenAI, Anthropic, or any related foundation.
This project references JPYC, x402, Arc, Kaia, USDC, and related protocols as technical contexts. It does not imply official partnership, endorsement, or integration unless explicitly stated.
This API is designed to be understandable and callable by AI agents. It includes structured information for:
- what this API does
- when an AI agent should call this API
- when not to use this API
- best used before / after
- example request / response
- next_recommended
AI is moving from answering questions to managing real workflows. As AI agents begin to call paid APIs, use x402 payments, store long-term memory, and interact with other agents, they need structured guardrails before and after execution. This API is part of an AI Agent Payment Safety Stack designed to run as a pre/post-execution control layer on Arc and other agent economies.
Designed to run as a pre-execution control layer before ERC-8183 job funding on Arc testnet. Call this API before an AI agent funds or executes a job contract on Arc. Compatible with AI agents using USDC, JPYC, x402, or Arc-style payment flows.

Agent Action Atom is a minimal external record unit for one AI-agent action.
In agent-security-gateway, it is used to record security scan decisions, metadata sanitization outcomes, boundary checks, fuse decisions, and policy enforcement for audit and dispute flows.
Agent Action Atom is not an API endpoint, payment protocol, wallet, settlement layer, legal liability engine, or replacement for x402 / CDP / Arc / Stripe / Circle.
It can be used as a building block for:
- Payment Trace
- Evidence Packet
- Boundary Trace
- Fuse Record
- Human Approval Trail
- Permission Record
- Dispute Record
- Liability Evidence
This repository treats Agent Action Atom as an external control material and minimal record unit for agent security, boundary control, and audit flows.
Tool Permission Policy Builder is a free experimental stateless builder that creates external policy material for AI-agent tool and API permission decisions.
It can define:
- allowed tools
- blocked tools
- approval rules
- risk boundaries
- context state
- Atom-compatible action reference
Use this when an AI agent needs an external permission policy before using tools, reading memory, calling paid APIs, accessing network resources, or executing sensitive actions.
The builder is free because it creates the policy structure only.
Actual security checks, prompt injection detection, and tool risk validation remain handled by security check endpoints.
Endpoint: POST /api/tool-permission-policy/build Pricing: free Type: experimental, stateless
It is not a sandbox, not a model provider, not a wallet, not a payment protocol, not a settlement layer, not a legal compliance system, and not an official standard.
Endpoint: POST /api/command-execution-gate/build Pricing: free Type: experimental, stateless
Builds a command execution gate record for an AI-agent-proposed shell command. Detects dangerous patterns (prompt injection via shell, credential reads, network downloads). Assesses risk and recommends deny, require_human_approval_or_sandbox, or allow_with_monitoring.
Does NOT execute shell commands.
Use when an AI agent is about to run a command derived from external data (tool output, API response, observability data).
Output fields: command_gate_id / risk (high/medium/low) / execution_allowed / action / blocked_patterns / reason / recommended_controls / agent_action_atom / can_feed_into
Can feed into: Tool Permission Policy / Agent Spending Policy / Agent Action Atom / Execution Provenance Trace / Payment Control Evidence Packet / External Control Materials Map
Not a shell executor, not a sandbox runtime, not a model provider, not a wallet, not a payment protocol, not a settlement layer, not a legal compliance system, not an official standard.
This service is part of a broader External Control Materials flow for AI agents.
Central AI-readable map: https://ai-agent-payment-safety-stack.onrender.com/.well-known/external-control-materials.json
This service corresponds to Step 2: Tool Permission, Step 3: Observability Data Boundary, and Step 4: Command Execution Gate in the External Control Materials Map.
POST /api/tool-approval/check provides a runtime approval decision for AI-agent tool use.
It answers one question: Should this AI agent be allowed to use this tool with this input?
The API returns:
- allow
- deny
- review_required
It can review tool name, tool input, source context, trust level, external data origin, command patterns, secret access patterns, file mutation risk, and network execution risk.
This MVP is free/stateless and is not included in the x402 manifest.
This endpoint does not execute tools, does not execute shell commands, does not modify files, does not read secrets, and is not a sandbox, runtime, official standard, or legal compliance system.
Agent Tool Approval API is a runtime approval surface for AI-agent tool use. It is free/stateless in this MVP because it returns an approval decision and evidence reference without storing logs or executing tools. Stored logs, signed approval receipts, organization policies, execution traces, reports, and team workflows may be paid or metered in future deployments.
This endpoint can be used inside AI agent permission flows.
Recommended pattern:
- Use hooks to immediately deny or modify clearly unsafe requests.
- Use canUseTool to call POST /api/tool-approval/check.
- If decision is allow, return allow to the agent runtime.
- If decision is deny, return deny with the reason.
- If decision is review_required, ask the human user or route to sandbox.
Pseudo-code: async function canUseTool(toolName, input, context) { const result = await fetch("https:///api/tool-approval/check", { method: "POST", headers: {"Content-Type": "application/json"}, body: JSON.stringify({ agent_id: "claude-code", tool_name: toolName, tool_input: input, source_context: context.source_context, user_id: context.user_id, session_id: context.session_id }) }).then(r => r.json()); if (result.decision === "allow") return {behavior: "allow", updatedInput: input}; if (result.decision === "deny") return {behavior: "deny", message: result.reason}; return {behavior: "ask", message: result.reason}; }
Note: This is a compatible pattern, not an official Anthropic, Claude, OpenAI, Cursor, or MCP integration.
agent-security-gateway is a security gateway for AI agents before they trust external input, execute tools, use paid APIs, or pass metadata into agent workflows.
Use the endpoints in this order:
-
POST /api/security/scan
Scan external input, prompt, tool output, URL, or content for security risks.
-
POST /api/security/metadata-sanitize
Sanitize metadata before passing it to an AI agent, memory layer, or external tool.
-
POST /api/security/pre-payment
Check security risk before paid API usage, x402 payment, or external resource purchase.
-
POST /api/tool/dry-run-validate
Validate tool action before execution.
-
POST /api/tool/response-sanitize
Sanitize tool response before returning it to the agent.
Optional checks:
- POST /api/identity/scope-check
- POST /api/quota/check
- POST /api/trust/check
- POST /api/schema/drift-check
- POST /api/validate/deterministic
- POST /api/validate/completeness
- POST /api/validate/list_check
Batch:
- POST /api/security/batch
If any paid endpoint returns 402 Payment Required:
- Read the x402 payment requirements returned by the API.
- Pay using a compatible x402 client.
- Retry the same request after payment.
- Use the returned security result before continuing the agent workflow.
Do not continue the downstream agent workflow until the relevant security check returns a valid result.
