AGENT GOVERNANCE EVIDENCE
Purpose In.
Proof Out.
TELOS measures agent actions against a declared operating purpose and records what happened. The current product direction is observation first: see the action, score the departure, preserve the receipt, and keep enforcement claims separate from evidence.
Declare
Purpose and operating lane
Observe
Framework-native actions
Score
Action-level fidelity
Record
Hash-linked evidence
One proof spine, several deployment forms
The invariant is the evidence contract. The integration, custody model, and operator surface can change by deployment.
TELOSCLAW
An open-source observation adapter for OpenClaw. It is being prepared for release with action correlation, local scoring, and hash-linked receipts.
- → Observation, not hidden control
- → Local evidence by default
- → Release package still under verification
TELOScope
A hosted and operator-facing view of purpose, action receipts, exceptions, and provenance. Interface expansion does not expand governance authority.
- → Receipt and exception review
- → Evidence available on demand
- → No certification by interface
Attestation and advisory
Evidence review, control mapping, and deployment guidance bounded to the artifacts and operating context opened for review.
- → Artifact-specific findings
- → Explicit limitations
- → No blanket conformance claim
Observation is the product
TELOS is not presented as an invisible policy wall. It exposes the declared purpose, the action observed, the score produced, the verdict recorded, and the evidence needed to review that result.
See what each layer proves →How the proof spine works
01
Declare the lane
State the agent's purpose, scope, relevant boundaries, and escalation policy in a reviewable Manifest or Purpose Anchor.
02
Observe the action
Capture the framework action at the integration seam and score it against the declared lane without changing the action result in passive mode.
03
Carry the proof
Record the action reference, verdict, provenance, and linkage needed for human review. Signing is claimed only where a signed record exists.
Current evidence boundary
The public claim is deliberately narrower than the roadmap. Evidence supports framework-native observation, action correlation, local scoring, and hash-linked receipts in the tested paths. It does not establish universal event capture, universal enforcement, live signing of every operational event, certification, or production readiness across agent frameworks.
