In plain English

AI agents can produce files and instructions that look fine yet carry mistakes or hidden risks. Trust Broker sits between agents and the systems I care about, a bit like a customs desk. Anything that doesn't pass inspection goes to review or quarantine.

How it works

  1. An agent hands over a bundle of output.
  2. Optionally verify its signature (a cryptographic stamp proving who sent it) before reading the contents.
  3. Validate the bundle's structure and check it against risk and permission policies.
  4. Pass clean bundles through, and send rejected or uncertain ones to review or quarantine.

What I did

I built this local Python prototype solo, with AI assistance.

What I learned

Check before you trust. Anything an agent produces stays untrusted until it passes validation.
