MandateOS writes host-scoped files such as `.codex/config.toml`, `.codex/hooks.json`, Cursor hooks, and Claude workspace settings.
Safety guardrails for AI agents
MandateOS gives you a controlled loop for agent safety: you define guardrails, MandateOS intercepts risky actions, escalates approvals, and keeps signed evidence of every run.
60-second tour
Watch one approval and receipt happen end to end.
Installer, mandate, runtime decision, signed receipt, and audit verification — without leaving the workspace.
How it works
What gets written, checked, kept, and inspected.
Before risky actions continue, the runtime evaluates scope, budget, risk zone, and whether an operator decision is required.
Teams can review signed receipts, execution grants, approval events, and retained audit history after the action completes.
The trust layer is open source, so teams can inspect the host integration path instead of relying on a black box.
See it running
Centralized visibility and control.
The MandateOS control plane brings full visibility to your agents' hooked actions. Easily draft custom governing rules, deploy smart security presets with the Mandate Composer, and maintain a tamper-proof audit trail of every agent execution—all from a single surface.




Where it fits
Use one approval and evidence model across the host tools your team already runs.
MandateOS sits between the agent and the actions that matter: shell execution, code changes, approvals, and higher-risk tool use.
Codex
Available TodayUse project-scoped Codex MCP and hook config to bring Bash-side actions under the same approval and receipt model.
Cursor
Available TodayBring Cursor sessions under the same approval, tool-scope, and receipt model as the rest of your agent operations.
Claude Code
Available TodayUse the same operating model in Claude Code so teams do not have to reinvent policy for each shell.
OpenClaw
Available TodayDesigned for OpenClaw’s flexible host surface so teams can keep explicit tool boundaries, approvals, and receipts around local agent power.
GitHub Enforcement
PlannedRepository-side actions are a natural next extension of the same policy and approval model.
Start with a concrete workflow
Install MandateOS into one repo, then watch the first approval and receipt happen.
The fastest way to evaluate MandateOS is to wire one host into one real repo, define one clear mandate, and inspect the evidence trail yourself.
