I built a tiny open-source way to prove what your AI agent actually did (offline, zero backend)
Summary
ActionProof is an MIT-licensed library that generates tamper-evident cryptographic receipts for AI agent actions, enabling offline verification without backend infrastructure. It supports TypeScript, Python, and drops into Claude Desktop Cursor as an MCP server.

How do you actually know your AI agent did what it says it did?
The article discusses the challenge of verifying AI agent actions and advocates for immutable receipts to ensure trust and distinguish between bad decisions and non-existent ones.
I built an accountability layer for AI agents — bound what it can do before it acts, prove what it did after
Cinchor is an open-source tool that provides an accountability layer for AI agents, allowing developers to bound agent capabilities before actions and prove actions after via hashed, signed, append-only records. It includes SDKs for TypeScript, Python, and Go and runs without tokens, wallets, or gas.
AI agents are starting to do real work. But where’s the receipt?
The article identifies a growing problem: AI agents can perform complex tasks, but their work is difficult to inspect, trust, and hand off. The author proposes a 'work receipt' system to provide transparent, shareable proof of what an agent did, including steps, sources, and confidence levels, aiming to help non-technical users confidently use agentic AI.
Today, if someone asks you to prove an AI agent was actually authorized to execute an action, what do you show them?
The article examines the challenge of proving AI agents' authorization for executing actions, emphasizing that mere credentials are insufficient and authorization must be pre-execution, policy-based, and verifiable.
