EVIDENCE
Show the proof. Name the limit.
TELOS claims are bounded to the source, test, runtime path, and artifact opened for review. A passing proof says what happened on that path. It does not turn one integration into a universal product claim.
What current evidence supports
Framework-native observation
TELOS has a runnable Strands proof that observes the framework's real agent and tool loop, correlates action IDs, and emits local receipts without changing the tool result.
Bound to the tested Strands source commit and local harness. This is integration evidence, not proof of coverage across every agent framework.
Hash-linked receipt integrity
The tested receipt path links records and rejects a tampered historical entry during verification.
Hash linkage demonstrates integrity behavior inside the tested chain. It is not the same as live TKey signing or third-party attestation.
Passive action scoring
The current internal deployment computes and records governance verdicts while allowing the underlying action to proceed.
Passive scoring supports observation and disclosure. It does not prove blocking, least-privilege restriction, or complete input and output capture.
What current evidence does not support
- • Universal detection of every departure or unsafe action
- • Universal capture of all model inputs and outputs
- • Blocking or enforcement in the current internal passive deployment
- • Live TKey signing of every operational event
- • Production readiness across agent frameworks or customer environments
- • Certification, regulatory approval, or blanket conformance
- • Customer counts, commercial pricing, or outcome guarantees
Verification method
Positive proof
- • Pin the source or artifact under review
- • Run the real integration path
- • Preserve exact command output and hashes
- • State the tested scope
Negative control
- • Tamper with a prior receipt
- • Remove required provenance
- • Test a path outside the claimed integration
- • Keep the resulting limitation visible
Framework and control mapping
TELOS uses external frameworks to ask better questions and expose missing evidence. Current work includes item-level review against CSA AI-CAIQ, SaferAgenticAI, NIST Zero Trust guidance, and related control sources. A mapping is an assessment tool. It is not a certification or endorsement by those organizations.
CSA submission boundary
TELOS is preparing a CSA STAR for AI Level 1 self-assessment. Level 1 is a public self-attestation, not an independent certification. The questionnaire and its public service description must tell the same evidence-bounded story before submission.
