What it does
About Custos
Custos provides an open-source safety and governance control layer designed for AI agents. Operating in-process without requiring an external proxy, its SDK embeds policy evaluation and cryptographic auditing directly into application code across Python and Node environments. Every tool execution is evaluated before running against a deny-by-default YAML policy. All tool executions are recorded in an Ed25519-signed and SHA-256 hash-chained JSONL ledger, ensuring instant detection of any record modification, reordering, or deletion.
