Description

Every action your AI agents take (commands, refunds, emails, database changes) goes on a tamper-evident record. Routine ones run; risky ones wait for a second person, who sees what led to it, with an undo. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, MCP. Free, open source.

Could you build this?

Partial Basic human-in-the-loop approval dashboards are easy to vibe code, but an MCP proxy enforcing cryptographic tamper-evident audit logging and reversible transactions across arbitrary tools (APIs, DBs, shell commands) is hard.

What it would actually take: Requires a low-overhead proxy/middleware architecture intercepting Model Context Protocol (MCP) and agent tool-calls, storing signed state transitions on an append-only cryptographic ledger (like Merkle trees). The hardest part is deterministic undo/rollback capabilities across diverse external side effects (SQL transactions, REST API state, filesystem mutations). Requires distributed systems and security engineering expertise.
