Welcome
ABS Core is the first Human-in-the-Loop governance platform designed for AI Agents and Autonomous Workflows.
Version: v10.1.5 | Last Updated: March 02, 2026 (Operational Stability)
ABS Core is the deterministic governance runtime for AI agents. It intercepts every agent action, evaluates it against cryptographically versioned policies, and enforces financial accountability via bond/slash mechanics.
- Digital Sovereignty: In ABS Core, "Sovereign" means the governance kernel and all policy evaluation happen within customer-controlled hardware (TEEs), ensuring that sensitive intent and data never escape the owner's perimeter. The Sovereign Proof Edition facilitates cryptographic proof of execution without data exfiltration.
Immune System Architecture
ABS Core operates as one unified Immune System. 13 integrated capabilities form the core runtime, complemented by 5 Core Vaccines for runtime defense:
OCS — Offline Cost Sentinel
Pre-flight regulatory and cost governor. Blocks policy-violating actions before any network call — offline, no round-trip required.
AICCP — Change Control
Forces a structured decision cycle before any irreversible write operation — no shortcuts.
WASM — Universal Kernel
Compiled from Rust. no-exit WASM Sandboxing. Evaluates tool calls in < 5ms against JSON/YAML policies. Verdict: ALLOW, DENY, HOLD, or SLASH.
CHI — Cognitive Host Interface
Mandatory introspection layer. Captures intent before any state change. Detects semantic drift, PII, and prompt injection in real time.
CORTEX
Analyzes intent, detects semantic drift, and maintains participant reputation scores in real time.
LEDGER
SHA-256 forensic ledger with Bitcoin or L2 anchoring. Every decision is cryptographically verifiable and immutable.
CERTIFIED VAULT — Policy Packs
Pre-built YAML policy packs for HIPAA, SOC2, LGPD, and financial compliance. Accelerates audit preparation.
QUORUM — Human Consensus
Enforces M-of-N human or multi-agent consensus approvals for critical tier-1 transaction paths.
IDENTITY SYNC — Okta & LDAP
Automated authority syncing via Webhooks. Inherit corporate hierarchies into governance.
BRIDGE — MCP Firewall
Specifically designed to block RCE. Intercepts tool calls before execution across 7 built-in policies.
POLICY DSL
Declarative JSON/YAML rule definition. Standardizes 7+ toolsets including file systems and cloud APIs.
PAP — Pre-Authorization Protocol
Air-gapped verification utilizing cryptographic PAAT tokens to ensure offline constraint adherence.
IaC Guard
Prevention of unauthorized cloud mutations (S3, IAM, VPC) before any API call.
Core Vaccines
- SECRET VAULT — JIT Injection: Just-in-Time Key Injection. API Credentials and private keys are never exposed in plaintext to the agents.
- HEARTBEAT SENTINEL — Dead Man's Switch: Health check and recovery monitoring for autonomous agents. Triggers critical alerts if the agent stops reporting.
- SHADOW MODE — Risk Analysis: Monitor production payloads without blocking them, preventing false positives before hard enforcement.
- PAP — Pre-Authorization Protocol: Air-gapped, fail-closed verification utilizing cryptographic PAAT tokens to ensure constraint adherence even in isolated network environments.
- IaC GUARD — Cloud Protection: Specialized vaccine for infrastructure-as-code. Blocks unauthorized cloud resource mutations (S3, IAM, VPC) before any network call.
Platform Pillars
ABS Core is built on 9 Sovereign Pillars that operate as a single governance runtime:
- CHI — Cognitive Host Interface: Intent introspection engine. Verifies reasoning before state changes.
- QUORUM (M-of-N): Multi-signature consensus for high-risk agent operations.
- BRIDGE — MCP Firewall: Secure gateway for Model Context Protocol tools and RCE protection.
- Bitcoin or L2 Anchoring: Immutable SHA-256 decision chain with cross-chain verification.
- AICCP — Change Control: Mandatory decision cycles for irreversible write operations.
- OCS — Offline Cost Sentinel: Pre-flight regulatory (LGPD/PCI) and cost governor.
- CORTEX: Intent monitoring, semantic drift detection, and participant reputation.
- Policy DSL: Declarative rules for governing infrastructure and agent behavior.
- IaC Guard: Prevention of unauthorized cloud mutations (S3, IAM, VPC).
Getting Started in 30 Seconds
System Requirements
- Runtime: Node.js 18+ or Python 3.9+
- Access: An active API Key from the ABS Dashboard
1. Install the SDK (optional but recommended for deep introspection):
npm install @oconnector/sdkpip install abs-sdk2. Configure the Magic Proxy (minimal code changes required):
Point your LLM client to the ABS Gateway to begin monitoring immediately. Set your base_url to:
# Point your client to the ABS Gateway
base_url = "https://api.abscore.app/v1"Practical Example (OpenAI usage):
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
api_key="your-openai-key",
base_url="https://api.abscore.app/v1" # ABS Gateway
)
# Your requests are now governed by ABS CoreEcosystem & Adapters
ABS Core provides first-class support for the leading agent frameworks. Use our adapters for unified governance:
- LangChain Adapter: Plug-and-play middleware for existing chains.
- Crew AI Extension: Governance kernel for multi-agent swarms.
- Vercel AI SDK: Integration via custom model providers.
[!NOTE] For complex multi-agent orchestrations, ABS recommends deploying a dedicated Quorum Node to maintain consensus consistency across disparate reasoning streams.
