See It in Action

Every agent action flows through the gateway for policy enforcement and audit logging.

# Agent proposes action
curl -X POST /gateway/execute \
  -H "X-API-Key: $KEY" \
  -d '{
    "uapk_id": "settlement-bot",
    "action": {
      "type": "legal",
      "tool": "send_settlement_offer",
      "params": {"amount": 5000}
    }
  }'

# Gateway response
{
  "decision": "ALLOW",
  "executed": true,
  "interaction_id": "int-abc123"
}

What Just Happened?

  • Manifest check — Is settlement-bot registered?
  • Capability check — Can it send settlements?
  • Budget check — $5K under $50K threshold
  • Policy check — Passed all rules
  • Executed via connector
  • Logged with hash chain + Ed25519 signature
Reference deployment

IP settlement agent — from proposal to evidence

A law firm's settlement bot needs to negotiate IP disputes autonomously — but compliance requires human approval above €50K and a court-admissible audit trail for every action taken. This is what one gateway execution looks like end-to-end.

01
Action proposed

Settlement bot calls POST /gateway/execute with action type legal, tool send_settlement_offer, amount €5,000 toward counterparty in an IP dispute.

02
Policy engine runs

Gateway checks manifest identity, capability token, amount against the €50K threshold, jurisdiction allowlist, and daily budget. All pass. Decision: ALLOW.

03
Connector executes

HTTP connector sends the offer via the firm's outbound API. Response captured and attached to the interaction record.

04
Audit record written

Tamper-evident record created: request hash, result hash, Ed25519 gateway signature, and SHA-256 link to the previous record in the chain.

05
Evidence bundle ready

Compliance team exports the S3 Object Lock bundle. The chain integrity check passes. The record is court-admissible and regulator-ready.

Outcome: Compliance signed off in week one of the pilot. Audit records passed chain integrity verification. The evidence bundle met the standard required for court submission. Settlement offers above the €50K threshold trigger an escalation to a human approver before execution — the bot never touches those unilaterally.

Before vs After

Without UAPK

  • Compliance blocks every agent deployment
  • "Who authorized this?" — no attribution
  • "Can we prove it in court?" — no audit trail
  • "How do we stop it?" — no kill switch
  • Months of back-and-forth with legal/compliance
  • Vendor logs — 90-day retention, not court-admissible

With UAPK

  • Policy enforcement: ALLOW / DENY / ESCALATE
  • Attribution: Every action traced to agent + manifest
  • Court-ready logs: Hash-chained, Ed25519 signed
  • Human approvals: High-risk actions reviewed
  • Production in 2–4 weeks: Fixed-fee pilot
  • Your evidence: Self-hosted, indefinite retention

Who should buy this first?

UAPK is built for one specific problem: AI agents taking consequential, externally-visible actions in regulated environments.

Best first fit
  • Legal ops agents (settlement, due diligence, contract review)
  • KYC / AML onboarding workflows with sanctions screening
  • Internal agent approvals for regulated outbound actions
  • Finance agents writing payments, transfers, or trade orders
  • Any AI system where "what did it do and who approved it?" matters to auditors
Not ideal first fit
  • Casual chatbots or Q&A assistants with no external actions
  • Generic content generation or summarisation pipelines
  • Low-risk internal copilots with no regulatory exposure
  • Agents that only read data and never write or send anything

Why UAPK Won't Be Obsolete

Model vendors will improve. Your governance requirements won't change.

01

Model-Agnostic by Design

UAPK governs actions at the boundary to real systems. It doesn't care which model you use — GPT-4, Claude, Llama, or Gemini.

02

Regulation Requires It

SOC2, GDPR, SEC audits require organization-owned evidence. "Check the OpenAI logs" doesn't work in court.
