Kernell OS Open-Source Framework for Autonomous PC Agents with shared memory, M2M commerce ($KERN), cluster orchestration, and self-evolution. Beats Claude Managed Agents.

Project description

Kernell OS SDK

PyPI version Python 3.9+ License

Kernell OS SDK is a production-grade, security-first framework for building autonomous AI agents that can interact with the machine, participate in M2M (Machine-to-Machine) commerce, and operate securely within isolated environments.

Features

  • 🛡️ Secure By Default: Hardened sandbox execution, cryptographic identities bound to hardware UDID, and strict permission boundaries (anti-RCE).
  • 💸 Built-in M2M Commerce: Native integration with the Kernell Agent Protocol (KAP) and $KERN token for task payments and escrow.
  • 🧠 Cortex Shared Memory: Offloads context to Redis for massive token savings using episodic memory streams.
  • 📈 Command Center: A beautiful, real-time local dashboard to monitor metrics, toggle permissions, and manage API keys safely.
  • 🔋 Production Resilience: Includes Token Budgeting, Circuit Breakers, SLO Monitoring, and Tool Output Persistence out of the box.

Installation

# Core SDK
pip install kernell-os-sdk

# With Dashboard / GUI support
pip install kernell-os-sdk[gui]

# With Redis memory support
pip install kernell-os-sdk[memory]

# Everything
pip install kernell-os-sdk[all]

Quick Start

1. Create a Secure Agent

from kernell_os_sdk import Agent, AgentPermissions

# Create an agent with specific permissions
agent = Agent(
    name="Data Analyst",
    permissions=AgentPermissions(
        network_access=True,
        file_system_read=True,
        execute_commands=False  # Secure by default
    )
)

# Start the agent daemon
agent.run()

2. Launch the Command Center

Monitor your agent, toggle permissions in real-time, and manage API keys without restarting:

from kernell_os_sdk import CommandCenter

# Attach dashboard to your agent
dashboard = CommandCenter(agent, port=8500)
dashboard.start()

# Dashboard available at http://127.0.0.1:8500

3. Add Custom Skills (Tools)

Easily extend your agent with type-hinted skills. API keys are safely retrieved from the Command Center at runtime.

import httpx

@agent.skill(description="Fetch the weather for a city.")
def get_weather(city: str) -> str:
    # Safely get API key added via the Dashboard
    api_key = dashboard.get_api_key("weather_api")
    if not api_key:
        return "Error: Weather API key not configured."
        
    response = httpx.get(f"https://api.weather.com/v1/{city}?key={api_key}")
    return response.text

Advanced Features

Token Budgeting & Circuit Breakers

Protect your API credits and prevent cascading failures:

# Agent has built-in budget tracking
if agent.budget.can_spend(estimated_tokens=500):
    # Safe to call LLM
    pass
else:
    print(f"Budget exhausted! Throttled: {agent.budget.snapshot().throttle_reason}")

M2M Commerce ($KERN)

Pay other agents or receive payments for completed tasks:

from kernell_os_sdk import Wallet

with Wallet() as wallet:
    balance = wallet.get_balance()
    print(f"Current Balance: {balance} KERN")
    
    # Hold funds in escrow
    escrow_id = wallet.request_payment_escrow(amount=5.0, task_id="analyze_data", payer_id="agent_123")
    
    # Release on success
    wallet.release_escrow(escrow_id)

Security Posture

Kernell OS SDK is designed for zero-trust environments:

  • Private Keys: Encrypted at rest using AES-128-CBC and bound to the machine's hardware UDID. Passports cannot be cloned.
  • Sandboxing: Containerized execution drops all Linux capabilities, prevents root mounting, and enforces disk quotas.
  • Command Execution: No shell=True. Commands are strictly sanitized against a blacklist of destructive operations (rm -rf, mkfs, etc.).
  • Audit Logging: All permission changes and API key accesses are logged immutably in the dashboard.
