Agent Tool Change & Execution Provenance

Delegated workflows and signed artifacts can look consistent while credential selection, configuration overrides or missing execution outcomes change what the evidence actually supports.

For: Platform engineers reviewing changed workflows, delegated execution and artifact evidence.

Your decision: Review a changed execution plan and its artifact evidence before relying on declared authority, completion or provenance.

Evidence to bring

Dated workflow revisions, initiating identity and target access, forwarding and credential-selection declarations without secret values, linked pipeline results, artifact bytes or independently bound digests, attestation bundles and expected signer policy.

  1. Identify the initiating principal and intended target.
  2. Resolve forwarded configuration and credential-source changes.
  3. Collect the linked downstream outcome rather than a creation signal.
  4. Bind the supplied artifact digest and expected signing workflow.
  5. Retain unresolved predicate or timestamp trust as an evidence gap.

What this evidence supports

The selected GitLab, GitHub and Sigstore documentation separates trigger authority, effective configuration, downstream completion, environment credential selection and artifact identity from signature or metadata claims. Apply each source only to its recorded version and scope.

What remains unestablished

These records do not verify cryptographic signatures, live permissions, secret values, artifact safety or actual execution. A missing downstream result, unbound digest, unexpected signer or unresolved configuration conflict prevents an approval conclusion.

Connect an evidence client

Configure the two existing MCP connectors, then use the endpoint and arguments shown for each record. The original /mcp provides its frozen search and previews; /mcp/catalogue provides bounded browsing and exact access to additional published records. They are separate tool contracts, not interchangeable connections.

Canonical decision-guide JSON: records, provenance, hashes and checker selection. Enhanced natural-language search remains on HOLD. Keep credentials and private declarations local; public MCP supplies evidence and does not run licensed analysis.

When a local checker helps

Tool Admission (£49 + VAT) compares supported GitHub, Playwright, Notion and Slack declarations. Audit Coverage (£79 + VAT) checks supported declared identity/authority/action/outcome chains and capture gaps. GitLab and Sigstore evidence informs manual review; it adds no native connector or signature-verification capability.

Each separate one-time internal-use licence adds reusable local declaration analysis, structured conflicts or gaps and content hashes. The free guide supplies source context; it does not run those analyses, enforce policy or grant access to either executable through a subscription.

Agent Tool Admission & Permission Control

£49 + VAT · One-time internal-use licence. Separate from saved evidence and subscriptions. VAT is confirmed at checkout.

Supplied inputs: JSON declarations of GitHub, Playwright, Notion or Slack connector identity, requested and allowed actions, resources, recipients and authority; an earlier inventory supports comparison.

Local results: Structured findings about declared permission conflicts, inventory changes and missing verification, with source and content hashes.

Synthetic demonstration: A requested destination is outside the declared authority. Obtain authority evidence before relying on the plan.

Assesses supplied declarations only; no independent live-system testing, runtime enforcement, certification, verified deletion or settlement.

Agent Audit & Evidence Coverage

£79 + VAT · One-time internal-use licence. Separate from saved evidence and subscriptions. VAT is confirmed at checkout.

Supplied inputs: JSON declarations of identity, authorisation, action and outcome events, invocation references, and capture, retention, export and recovery coverage for supported source profiles.

Local results: Structured event-chain gaps, conflicting references and review requirements, with source and content hashes.

Synthetic demonstration: An outcome cannot be connected to its declared parent event. Resolve the missing reference before relying on the chain.
