LedgerAgent is a design that forces AI agents to verify every state change before recording it as true, and to check every consequential action against policy rules before executing it. It directly tackles the core failure mode of agents: confidently narrating a reality they never confirmed — such as claiming a refund was processed when it wasn't.
Key facts
