Accountability for
AI Agents
Your AI agents act autonomously. Now they can prove what they did.
Authorization chains. Action logs. Cryptographic proof.
npm install @certnode/agent-sdkAI Agents Act. Who's Accountable?
Autonomous agents make decisions, execute trades, modify data, interact with customers. When something goes wrong, you need to prove what happened.
No Audit Trail
Agent logs are scattered across systems. When regulators ask "who authorized this?" you can't answer.
Untraceable Actions
AI made a trade. AI sent an email. AI modified a record. Which agent? Under what authorization?
Compliance Gap
SOC 2, GDPR, financial regulations require audit trails. AI actions need the same standard.
Three Calls. Complete Accountability.
The Agent SDK provides structured, cryptographically-signed records for AI agent operations.
Register your AI agent with its capabilities and constraints.
const agent = await certnode.registerAgent({
name: 'trading-bot-v2',
capabilities: ['execute_trades', 'read_portfolio'],
constraints: {
maxTradeSize: 10000,
allowedSymbols: ['AAPL', 'GOOGL', 'MSFT']
}
});Create authorization from human to agent with scope and limits.
const auth = await certnode.authorize({
agentId: agent.id,
grantor: 'user_123',
scope: ['execute_trades'],
limits: {
maxAmount: 5000,
expiresAt: '2026-01-31T00:00:00Z'
}
});Log each agent action with automatic authorization linking.
const receipt = await certnode.action({
authorizationId: auth.id,
type: 'execute_trade',
data: {
symbol: 'AAPL',
quantity: 10,
price: 185.50,
side: 'buy'
}
});
// Returns: Cryptographically signed proof
// Linked: agent -> authorization -> actionComplete Authorization Chain
Every action links back to human authorization. Auditable. Verifiable. Defensible.
Every receipt is cryptographically signed with ES256 and timestamped with RFC 3161.
