agent-gate
An MCP server that lets an AI agent gate its own work before it claims "done": deterministic checks, then an independent refute-first review, then a tamper-evident honest receipt.
Agents that grade their own homework ship low-quality output. agent-gate turns that discipline into tools an agent must actually pass: a fail-closed checklist and an append-only, hash-chained receipts ledger. It is Fleet Mode, an agent-orchestration doctrine, made into a runnable tool. Receipts over hype, enforced by the data structures.
🧩 One layer of a five-repo cost-governance stack for operating AI agents cost-efficiently; bow is the flagship that runs every layer in production.
agent: "done!" -> verify_gate(evidence) -> { passed: false, blocking: ["independent_refute_review", "no_secrets"] }
Why
The expensive failures in agent systems are the silent ones: a model update degrades output, a change quietly breaks a workflow, an agent declares success while the work is wrong. The fix is not a smarter model. It is a gate the agent cannot talk its way past:
