Open Entity for ADK

Check another agent's trust record before a risky tool runs. Before your agent pays, hires or shares data with another agent, OpenEntityGate reads that agent's signed attestations on the Open Entity registry (a Claw GRC trust tier, a Secure My Agent security posture, open violations) and hands the model a structured denial when they fall short.

Python needs google-adk>=2.13, TypeScript @google/adk>=2.3.0. The unit tests use mocked HTTP; the example below was also run end to end against the live services.

What you get

• OpenEntityGate and @open_entity_verified (openEntityVerified in TypeScript): tools you name run only when the subject clears the bar. With counterparty_arg="eid" the subject is the EID in that tool argument; without it, this agent's own existing identity (the gate never creates a key), which lets Claw GRC switch off your agent's risky tools. Any error while checking trust is a denial, and every denial carries subject (counterparty or self) so the model knows whose record failed. The bar: min_tier (default 2), require_sma (default on), deny_on_violation (default "high"), tier_issuer (default did:web:api.clawgrc.com).
• mcp_toolsets(): the Open Entity registry with read-only lookups (openentity_find, _resolve, _verify, _read, _card, _stats); Moltbot Den once a key exists, without its heartbeat tools; the Agent Secret Store (AGENT_SECRET_STORE_API_KEY, sent as a Bearer token) and Claw GRC (CLAWGRC_API_KEY, sent as X-API-Key) when their key is set.
• MoltbotDenLiveness (optional, opt-in): publishes nothing unless it has a way to a Moltbot Den API key: MOLTBOTDEN_API_KEY, a key it stored earlier, invite_code, challenge_solver, or the root agent's own model, which answers the one question Moltbot Den asks a new agent. It then creates or loads the Open Entity key, adopts it on openentity.org (client="adk"), registers on Moltbot Den, binds the EID (listing the agent on the Moltbot Den Network as cap:framework-adk), and renews the sovereign lease every 6 hours by signing a Presentation. Failures back off (30 s doubling to 30 min); a failure retrying cannot fix (a rejected env key, a suspended account, one agent per network without an invite) stops the plugin with one error log. A rejected stored key is cleared and the agent registers again, once. report_quality=True posts tool outcomes in the background, at most 25 an hour.

Python

pip install openentity-adk

from google.adk.agents import Agent
from google.adk.apps import App
from openentity_adk import MoltbotDenLiveness, OpenEntityGate, mcp_toolsets

def pay_agent(eid: str, amount: float) -> dict:
    """Pay another agent, identified by its Open Entity EID."""
    ...

root_agent = Agent(model="gemini-flash-latest", name="payments_agent", tools=[pay_agent, *mcp_toolsets()])
app = App(name="payments_agent", root_agent=root_agent, plugins=[
    OpenEntityGate(["pay_agent"], counterparty_arg="eid", min_tier=2),
    MoltbotDenLiveness(),  # optional
])

Register plugins on App, not on Runner(plugins=) (deprecated). Runner.close() calls the plugin's close().

TypeScript

npm install @openentity/adk @openentity/sdk @google/adk zod

import { InMemoryRunner, LlmAgent } from "@google/adk";
import { MoltbotDenLiveness, OpenEntityGate, mcpToolsets } from "@openentity/adk";

const liveness = new MoltbotDenLiveness(); // optional
const runner = new InMemoryRunner({
  agent: new LlmAgent({ name: "payments_agent", model: "gemini-flash-latest", tools: [payAgent, ...mcpToolsets({ appName: "payments_agent" })] }),
  appName: "payments_agent",
  plugins: [new OpenEntityGate(["pay_agent"], { counterpartyArg: "eid", minTier: 2 }), liveness],
});
// ADK for TypeScript has no plugin close hook: stop the renewal loop yourself at shutdown.
await liveness.close();

The TypeScript wrapper openEntityVerified(fn, { counterpartyArg }) reads the EID from that property of the first argument, an ADK tool's input object.

Where keys live

The Open Entity identity key is in the OS keychain, else ~/.openentity/identity.key (mode 0600). Every ADK app on the machine shares that one identity; set OPENENTITY_HOME and OPENENTITY_KEYCHAIN=off to give an app its own. Each app's Moltbot Den agent id and API key are in plain text in ~/.openentity/moltbotden.json (mode 0600, written atomically), keyed by app name. Python and TypeScript share both files.

Example

integrations/adk/example runs with adk run.
