When an AI agent writes to a file or calls an API, a timeout can leave it unclear whether the change happened. MELRA checks tool calls against local policy, pauses sensitive actions for approval, verifies the declared result, and keeps a redacted receipt. If a write's outcome is unknown, MELRA holds it for reconciliation instead of retrying blindly. Open-source alpha; requires Node.js 22.13+.

Could you build this?

Yes A local MCP runtime with policy checks, approval scopes, and logging is systems software, but it is buildable by a capable solo developer with AI help and does not need specialized domain knowledge.
