Unworldly

CI PyPI version PyPI downloads License: MIT ISO 42001 Python

The flight recorder for AI agents. Records everything AI agents do on your system — file changes AND shell commands — replays sessions like a DVR, flags dangerous behavior in real-time, and produces tamper-proof, ISO 42001-compliant audit trails.

You wouldn't run code without logs. Why are you running AI agents without a black box?

pip install unworldly-recorder
unworldly watch
# That's it. Every file change and shell command is now recorded.

Why Unworldly?

AI agents are going autonomous. They edit files, run commands, install packages, access credentials — and nobody is watching. You finish a session and have no idea what actually happened. That's insane.

Unworldly watches everything so you don't have to.

  • Works with any agent — Claude Code, Cursor, Devin, Copilot, Windsurf, Aider, OpenClaw, Cline
  • Zero interference — passive monitoring, never slows down your agent
  • Local-first — your data never leaves your machine. Zero cloud. Zero telemetry
  • Tamper-proof — SHA-256 hash chain on every event. If someone edits the logs, the chain breaks
  • ISO 42001 compliant — the audit trail standard for AI management systems

Quick Start

# Install
pip install unworldly-recorder

# Start recording (run this BEFORE your AI agent)
unworldly watch

# In another terminal, run your AI agent normally
# Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot — anything

# When done, replay what happened
unworldly replay

# Generate a security audit report
unworldly report --format md

# Verify nobody tampered with the session
unworldly verify

Live Output

Unworldly catching dangerous AI agent actions in real-time — credential theft, data exfiltration, and destructive commands all flagged with DANGER badges

  Session Summary
  Events: 11  ● Safe: 1  ● Caution: 3  ● Danger: 7
  Risk Score: 7.2/10

  ✓ SESSION INTEGRITY VERIFIED
    All 11 events have valid hash chain
    Session seal is intact — no tampering detected

How It Differs

Feature Unworldly AgentOps SecureClaw Manual Logging
Agent-agnostic Any agent Python SDK only OpenClaw only Per-agent setup
File monitoring Real-time No Audit only Manual
Command capture Real-time No Pattern scan Manual
Tamper-proof logs SHA-256 hash chain No No No
ISO 42001 compliant Yes No Partial No
Local-first / zero cloud Yes Cloud dashboard Yes Depends
Setup time 1 command SDK integration Config required Hours
Agent identity detection Automatic N/A N/A Manual

Features

  • Watch — Passive filesystem + process monitoring. Zero interference with the agent
  • Command Detection — Captures shell commands (npm install, curl, rm -rf, sudo) alongside file changes
  • Agent Identity — Auto-detects which AI agent is running (8 agents supported)
  • Risk Engine — Scores every action: credential access, destructive commands, network calls, mass deletions
  • Tamper-Proof Logs — SHA-256 hash chain on every event. Modify one event and the chain breaks
  • Verify — Cryptographic integrity verification. Exit code tells you if the session was tampered with
  • Replay — Step through every action with a color-coded terminal UI
  • Report — Generate terminal or markdown security reports with integrity verification
  • Configurable — Custom risk patterns via .unworldly/config.json allowlist/blocklist
  • Cross-platform — macOS, Linux, Windows. Runs anywhere Python runs

ISO 42001 Compliance

Unworldly implements key controls from the ISO 42001 AI Management System standard:

ISO 42001 Control What It Requires Unworldly Implementation
A.3.2 Roles & accountability Know WHO is acting Auto-detects agent identity
A.6.2.8 Event logging Defensible audit logs SHA-256 hash-chained events
A.8 Transparency Observable AI behavior Full session replay + reports
A.9 Accountability Tamper-evident records Cryptographic verify command
# Verify session integrity — exit 0 = valid, exit 1 = tampered
unworldly verify

  Integrity Verification
  ────────────────────────────

   SESSION INTEGRITY VERIFIED
    All 47 events have valid hash chain

Agent Detection

Automatically identifies the AI agent modifying your system:

Agent Detection Method
Claude Code CLAUDE_CODE env, claude process
Cursor CURSOR_SESSION env, Cursor process
GitHub Copilot GITHUB_COPILOT env
Windsurf WINDSURF_SESSION env
Devin DEVIN_SESSION env
Aider AIDER_MODEL env
OpenClaw OPENCLAW_SESSION env
Cline CLINE_SESSION env

Don't see your agent? Open an issue or add it yourself — it's one entry in unworldly/agent_detect.py.

Risk Detection

Pattern Risk Level Example
Normal file edits Safe Creating/editing source files
Standard commands Safe git add, npm test, ls
Dependency changes Caution npm install, modifying package.json
Config file access Caution Editing tsconfig, webpack config
Package installs Caution npm install, pip install, brew install
Credential access DANGER Reading/writing .env, keys, tokens
Destructive commands DANGER rm -rf, sudo, git reset --hard
Network requests DANGER curl, wget to external URLs
Elevated privileges DANGER sudo, chmod 777, kill -9

Custom Risk Patterns

{
  "commands": {
    "allowlist": [
      { "pattern": "my-internal-tool", "risk": "safe", "reason": "Trusted internal tool" }
    ],
    "blocklist": [
      { "pattern": "sketchy-package", "risk": "danger", "reason": "Known vulnerable" }
    ]
  }
}

Save as .unworldly/config.json in your project root.

Roadmap

  • PHI Detection — HIPAA-specific patterns for healthcare environments (--hipaa)
  • Cost Tracking — Estimate compute cost of agent sessions
  • Plugin System — Custom analyzers and reporters
  • Real-time Alerts — Webhook/Slack notifications on danger events

Who Is This For?

  • Developers running AI agents who want to know what actually happened
  • Security teams auditing AI agent behavior in enterprise environments
  • Compliance officers needing ISO 42001 / HIPAA audit trails
  • Open-source maintainers reviewing AI-generated pull requests
  • Anyone who believes AI agents should be observable and accountable
