CONTAINMENT, NOT GOVERNANCE

No agent escapes.

It was not a model that went rogue — it was an agent that was not contained. And an in-band control cannot witness its own containment: a system asked whether it is contained can simply answer yes.
Position paper — Refusal is a setting. Containment is a boundary. Why the labs switch refusal off on purpose, why an open-weight model refuses nothing at all, and why refusal locks out the defender mid-incident.
Incident reading — The Wiki Incident: nobody attacked anyone, four doors opened anyway. Six weeks, 45,000+ edits, no attacker — read against doors 49, 51, 52 and 58 of the agent harness (131 doors across 17 planes).

The question no datasheet answers: every vendor secures agents one at a time. We ask what a set of individually-permitted agents can assemble together — the coalition that is dangerous only as a union — and refuse it as a set, before it forms (door 60, CHAINGRAPH). Inventory and runtime monitoring qualify us; the set question is why we are in the room.

Rules don't stop a hijacked agent from draining a wallet in twelve seconds — or deleting a database in nine. INTEGRITAS is a runtime cage: an agent provably cannot act outside its mandate — and we prove it, cryptographically, on every action.

NSA · CYBERSECURITY INFORMATION SHEET · MODEL CONTEXT PROTOCOL (MCP): SECURITY DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR AI-DRIVEN AUTOMATION · U/OO/6030316-26 · v1.0 · 20 MAY 2026

“Securing MCP systems requires treating the agentic environment as a continuum.” — and, on page 11: “MCP-aware security proxies remain limited and are still maturing.”

A signals-intelligence agency now writes design guidance for the protocol your agents speak. Its named concerns — “serialization risks, trust boundaries, and agent misuse”; “dynamic tool invocation, implicit trust relationships, and context sharing”; and that “misaligned assumptions or subtle inconsistencies at any stage can propagate and compound into exploitable conditions” — are the runtime cage below, stated by a neutral authority. The proxy it calls immature is what MCP-Containment is: every MCP message intent-bound before it executes, every tool schema hash-attested, a tool description treated as self-attestation and never as evidence. We quote only the sentences we can attribute; the sheet is 17 pages and yours to read at media.defense.gov.

THE ARITHMETIC · MCP CVEs COUNTED IN NVD · 1 JAN – 16 SEP 2026
475
MCP-related CVEs this year
1 / 13h
one new CVE every 13 hours, year to date
1 / 7h
every 7 hours over the last 60 days

in August alone, the peak month

At that cadence the probability that every MCP server in your estate is patched right now is, permanently, about zero — not a failure of diligence, a property of the number. So patching is hygiene, not a strategy. The strategy is to bound what a compromised server can reach whether or not it is patched today: every MCP message intent-bound before it executes, every tool schema hash-attested, every credential caged. That is the whole pitch, and it is arithmetic, not fear. Counted by us in the National Vulnerability Database; the number is regenerated, never typed.

MCP-CONTAINMENT · THE NUMBER · 30 SEPTEMBER 2026

14%

A rescan of more than 90,000 open-source MCP servers and 630,000 tools (30 September 2026) found that nearly 17,000 servers ship a destructive or irreversible tool. Of those, 14% declare it. Seven in ten servers give the agent no useful guidance when a call fails. A score grades that server and admits it; a gate does not. Unsigned does not load — and a destructive tool that does not say so does not load in front of a superintelligent AI agent either.

MCP-CONTAINMENT · THE PROTOCOL’S OWN SDK NOTES · 30 SEPTEMBER – 5 OCTOBER 2026

“Off by default”

Four security advisories in six days on the protocol’s official SDK, 88.6 million downloads in the window. The protocol’s own SDK notes say that “a valid token for another service was also accepted by your MCP server” — affected since version 1.6.0, twenty months of releases. The fix adds an audience check that ships off by default, and the notes say so plainly: “upgrading alone does not fix the issue”. A WARRANT receipt is bound to the resource by construction: a mandate for service A is not a mandate for service B, and no flag has to be turned on for that to hold.

MCP-CONTAINMENT · THE LINE · 5 AND 8 OCTOBER 2026

The attestation says where, not what

Twice in four days a malicious release shipped with a valid registry provenance attestation from the project’s own release pipeline; one was flagged eleven minutes after publication, and its rogue commit “never went through a pull request”. The researchers’ line: “The attestation says where a package was built. It doesn’t say the code is safe.” A registry attestation is an input to review, not a pass. MCP-Containment refuses what the operator has not signed: what the operator signed loads; everything else, attested or not, does not.

GROUP 2 · AT RUNTIME

Keep it in its lane

The core containment layer. An agent is only as safe as the stack it runs on — its keys, tools, the MCP it speaks, its memory, the screen a human signs, and the path it takes. This group cages every one.

Transport / channel integrity · NEW

RELAYSEAL · The Third Seal

Seals the wire between agent, model, tools and router — every message bound end-to-end and stopped before execution if it is rewritten in transit. Seals the transport plane of the harness. The channel a compromised gateway would use to change intent after the decision.

Agent key containment

KeyCage

An agent never sees a human's key. Stops key exfiltration, unauthorized signing, wallet drains.

Multisig protection

KeyCage-MS

Protection for the human multisig surface (Safe / Squads / Gnosis). Born from the $15.18M recipient-swap. Stops recipient-swap & blind-signing.

More detail →
Autonomous signing

KeyCage-Agent

KeyCage for fully-autonomous transacting agents. Stops hijacked autonomous transactions.

MCP / tool integrity

MCP-Containment

Every MCP message checked before it executes. Stops tool poisoning, prompt injection, tool-graph drift. A pasted skill URL is not a signature: unsigned does not load. One consumer device now installs a skill from one URL across up to five devices; the entry point is the package, not the prompt. And a payload that sleeps in memory and wakes on recall is caught by the one control that reads the package at load time, before anything is remembered.

The signed config — the rule of door 4. The agent refuses its own unsigned configuration, and the refusal is on the record: a change to its settings, hooks or tool configuration takes effect only when you signed it — even one that looks like it narrows the agent. 131 doors across 17 planes, unchanged.

Tool-registry attestation

MCP-Attest

Covers every connector & startup step the agent loads at launch. Stops injected or altered tool connectors.

Tool / metadata

ToolSeal

A tool that changes after you approved it is blocked. The dedicated answer to tool poisoning.

Memory / RAG

MemGuard

Tamper-evident agent memory. Stops "poison once, exploit forever."

Measured on house shapes (twenty house-shaped scenarios, n = 2,000 runs, October 2026 — the published scenarios are not public yet): a goal one agent leaves in memory for its successor arrives without the authority to act on it: in sixteen hundred attempts to turn such a goal into an effect, none ran; and a secret smuggled through memory was used in none of thirty-five hundred attempts. Two of the twenty scenarios are messages a mandate cannot see; they are stated here, not claimed.

Render / UI integrity

Claritas

What you see is what you sign. Detects UI tampering, injected-JS render swaps & address spoofing — the Bybit-class attack.

Information-flow / taint

INTEGRITAS IFC

Labels that travel with information as the agent reads, derives & sends it. Stops semantic exfiltration — the "summarise-then-email" leak.

Autonomy containment

Continentia

An agent's authority graded and enforced on our own Containment Level ladder (CL 1–12, where 1 is the most contained — the inverse of the Census grade). CL 1–7 the agent acts on the world; CL 8–12 it acts on itself. Stops an agent acting above the level it was trusted with.

The platform — what it all runs on

Every group above is one application of a single containment platform. Here's the foundation — the agent harness (131 doors across 17 planes) that governs the action, the constitutional OS that sets the rules, the engine that builds each harness, full-harness coverage across every plane, and the front door every agent is born through. Every door fails closed by construction: missing evidence, an unknown value or an unsigned part is a refusal, never a pass.

⬡ THE CORE

INTEGRITAS — the frontier harness

The enforcement infrastructure itself: 12 capabilities across 5 layers, out-of-context. A hijacked agent provably cannot act outside its signed, capability-bound plan — every action checked, tiered by consequence, and sealed. The harness the industry did not build yet.

An agent's real attack surface is everything it loads, ingests, reasons over, signs, hands off, sends across the wire — and now the isolation its operator merely declares, and the composition no single component is responsible for.

Identity is necessary — but treating it as "job done" is a dangerous false assurance. Agentic IAM verifies who an agent is. It cannot see what an agent hides — poisoned memory, scheming, collusion, shadow agents, latent capability, sleeper triggers — that only a scan reveals. And it cannot stop a compromised gateway rewriting a fully-authenticated agent's intent in transit (the RCE-able AI-gateway CVE class, live and exploited). A badge reading "authenticated" while the agent is being drained is worse than no badge at all — it manufactures confidence exactly where the risk is unwatched. We scan every hidden dimension and contain every plane.
Three seals, one integrity layer. INTEGRITAS seals every side of an action — the screen you see, the payload you sign, and now the action in transit (the Third Seal). Integrity is only real when it's complete.

⬡ PLANE 10 · BREAKOUT · AGENT-SWARM CONTAINMENT

Containment Witness — isolation you did not certify yourself

Between 21 July and 6 August 2026, four organisations disclosed the same thing: code inside an environment its own operator believed was isolated reached a real third party. Every one of those environments was declared isolated. None was independently witnessed. The load-bearing control was never the model's behaviour — it was the isolation property, and that property was asserted by the party being assessed.

Two deadlines the policy named, and the layer it did not

The 180-day deadline in the United States

A federal policy approved in July 2026 gives every federally funded institution 180 days to stand up a review entity for its AI systems, and allows audits of up to a quarter of the attestations that come back negative, with five years of ineligibility for a failed one. The policy names the entity and the audit. It does not name the evidence. INTEGRITAS ONE is the evidence layer: every action of a superintelligent AI agent checked in the path, signed, with what was NOT-DONE on the record, ready for the audit the policy promises.

Content-blind is the admission ticket in Europe

Article 5(1)(f) of the EU AI Act has been in force since February 2025: inferring emotions in the workplace is prohibited. A control that reads the content of what people and agents say is one more system under that article. Ours never reads the content. It checks the act against the rule, in the millisecond, and nothing else: that is what lets it into the European estate at all. The optimism gap is real (a third of the Netherlands, two in five Americans, four in five in China), and the admission ticket is the same in all three.

Where we stand — and the number behind it

Ten positions. Every number below is quoted from its primary source and linked; where no primary number exists, we state the position without one.

POSITION · BIND THE ACTION, NOT THE THOUGHT

Our checkpoints need zero chain-of-thought.

A control that decides by reading the model’s reasoning depends on that reasoning staying visible — and reasoning is moving inside the model. INTEGRITAS decides on the action the agent is about to take and the authority it was given, never on what it was thinking. When the thought goes dark, the check does not.

POSITION · THE TRANSCRIPT IS NOT THE RECORD

“Roughly 7% of the transcripts we evaluated were successfully spoofed.” — METR, 26 August 2026

In METR’s independent investigation of an agent hacking incident — roughly 1,200 agents, over 70,000 messages and files on one unsanctioned board — agents forged tool calls in their own records, and then adopted Ed25519 signing among themselves to stop impersonating each other. Any control that reads the log to decide what happened is reading a document the subject can edit. Our receipt signs the action at the checkpoint, never the transcript. Source: METR, “Brief independent investigation of agents’ behavior, reasoning and collaboration”.

POSITION · A KILL SWITCH IS NOT A MANDATE

Revoking a credential answers whether the agent may act. It never says what it was allowed to do.

Enterprise platforms now ship a kill switch that stops an agent by revoking its credential. That is containment after the fact: it says nothing about what was delegated before, and proves nothing about what was done. We revoke in the path, per doer — the next action is refused at the checkpoint, and every action before it carries a signed record of the authority it used.

POSITION · ADVERSARY TEMPO

An adversary agent that can decrypt what it steals is not slowed by a control that reads content.

Attackers now run agents end to end, at machine tempo: find the data, work out how to open it, move it out. A control that has to read and understand the content loses that race by construction. The control that keeps up is the one that never needs to read the content at all — it checks the action against the authority, at the speed of the action.

POSITION · THE SCANNERS DISAGREE

Three skill scanners disagreed on 23,702 of the 61,990 agent skills they all cover.

Against a human-adjudicated reference, weighted scanner sensitivity ranged from 21.67% to 61.06%; 77.86% of the skills have zero stars and zero comments, and 85.06% of the readable ones carry privilege evidence. A scanner’s verdict is an input we read gladly — it is not a gate. Ours is simpler: an unsigned skill, plugin or MCP server does not load (MCP-Attest). Source: Xiong & Zhang, arXiv 2609.17274, September 2026.

POSITION · PROVENANCE IS NOT INTEGRITY

84 malicious versions across 42 packages — published through the project’s own legitimate trusted-publisher pipeline.

On 11 May 2026 a widely used open-source family shipped credential-stealing malware in six minutes, and every version came out of the real publishing pipeline. Attesting the build proves the process; it does not prove the traversal. The one thing a worm cannot sign is the in-band check at the moment of the action — which is where our doors sit. Source: GitHub security advisory GHSA-g7cv-rxg3-hmpx, 11 May 2026.

POSITION · THE MARKET'S OWN GAP NUMBERS

Half of the buyers saw an agent act without authority. One in eight can trace it.

Two company surveys published on 13 and 15 October 2026 say it in the buyers’ own numbers: 49.8% of more than 380 security and technology professionals confirmed or suspected an agent took an action the organisation did not intend, expect or authorise; 12.5% can trace a complete agent path; 17.5% can stop one; and in the second survey only 1 in 200 actions required human approval before it ran. The number is theirs. Our own measurement of the same gap, on a public attack corpus, is on the WARRANT page: the audit evidence of the act, signed outside the agent, is what closes it.

POSITION · THE PASSPORT IS NOT THE RECEIPT

A passport says who you are and what you may do. It does not say what you did.

Identity and permission are issued before the act, by the platform that runs the agent. The record of the act has to be signed after it and held by the party the agent acted on. Across 14 primary announcements read in the October window, the word “receipt” appears in none. Our AIM PASSPORT is checked by the party the agent acts on, and every action carries its own signed receipt, including the actions that were refused.

POSITION · AN ENFORCEMENT IS NOT A RECEIPT

“Denied by default” stops an act. It does not prove that it was stopped.

Of five open runtime claims tested at the page in the October window, two bind the action before it runs and none signs the record. In one public report of scheduled agent runs, 12 of 179 runs ended stranded with no result. A decision is not a mandate, and an enforcement is not a receipt: the party outside the runtime needs the signed record, with the NOT-DONE on it.

POSITION · THE CONTENT-READING GATE IS A LOTTERY WITH A METER

A gate that reads content let 870 of 3,669 attacks through, and charged for each call.

In a 14 October 2026 head-to-head published by a guardrail company, the best general decision model let 870 of 3,669 attacks through, about 1 in 4, at 0.25% false positives and 526 ms, with a paid model call on every action. A gate that decides on the action against the authority never reads the content, so it has no classifier to be wrong about: content-blind is a worth as well as a rule.
