agent-custody (Python)

Signed, verifiable receipts for AI agent tool calls, from Python. The key, the Cedar policy, and the Merkle log live in the agent-custody sidecar, a local process from the npm package; this client talks to it over HTTP with the standard library only.

npm install -g @agent-custody/receipts && agent-custody keygen --dir keys --name app
agent-custody serve --config sdk.json          # loopback, port 8788
pip install agent-custody
from agent_custody import Client, PolicyDeniedError

client = Client()                                # http://127.0.0.1:8788/
refund = client.wrap("stripe.refund", lambda args: stripe.refund(**args))
refund({"amount": 5000})                         # decide, run, record; raises PolicyDeniedError on deny

Adapters, each tested against the real package: agent_custody.langchain.ReceiptCallbackHandler (record-only), agent_custody.crewai.wrap_tools (enforce: each CrewAI tool becomes a CustodyTool with the same name, description, and schema whose run is decided, executed, and recorded; a denial is returned as the tool result), agent_custody.openai_agents.wrap_tools (enforce and record), agent_custody.claude_agent_sdk.claude_hook (PreToolUse deny, PostToolUse record). Receipts are verified by the TypeScript verifier; the tests do exactly that.

The memory tools. agent_custody.memory.MemoryClient (extra memory) talks to the shared memory server from @agent-custody/state over MCP: write, read, retract, history. Writes from here are claimed, quarantined until a gateway confirms them, and reads leave quarantined facts out unless asked; that is the honest position of an agent that did not go through the gateway.

async with MemoryClient("http://127.0.0.1:8790/mcp", token=os.environ["MEMORY_TOKEN"]) as memory:
    await memory.write("acct:42", "plan", "pro", space="team:support", actor="py-agent")
    await memory.read(subject="acct:42", include_claimed=True)

Everything recorded is claimed: the sidecar trusts what this process reports, the same as the in-process TypeScript SDK. For enforcement the agent cannot skip, put the gateway in front of the tools instead; it is an MCP server and needs nothing from this package.

uv run --extra test pytest        # from packages/python; starts a sidecar with node from ../receipts
