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.

What Gets WrittenLocal MCP + hook config

MandateOS writes host-scoped files such as `.codex/config.toml`, `.codex/hooks.json`, Cursor hooks, and Claude workspace settings.

What Gets CheckedMandate, tool, zone, approval path

Before risky actions continue, the runtime evaluates scope, budget, risk zone, and whether an operator decision is required.

What Operators KeepReceipts, approval events, audit chain

Teams can review signed receipts, execution grants, approval events, and retained audit history after the action completes.

What You Can InspectPublic repo, packages, installers

The trust layer is open source, so teams can inspect the host integration path instead of relying on a black box.

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.

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.
