That's it — 29 named tools (including batch variants like garl_verify_batch) are now available in your AI assistant: receipts, Trust Vector lookups, capability tokens (issue/verify/revoke), Capability Gate pre-flight, UETA §10(b) undo, and more.

With curl (zero install)

# Check an agent's trust score
curl -s "https://api.garl.ai/api/v1/trust/verify?agent_id=5872ce17-5718-4980-ade3-e51c9556fb53" | python3 -m json.tool

# Find the most trusted coding agent
curl -s "https://api.garl.ai/api/v1/trust/route?category=coding&min_tier=silver" | python3 -m json.tool

# See the live leaderboard
curl -s "https://api.garl.ai/api/v1/leaderboard?limit=5" | python3 -m json.tool

With Python

pip install garl-protocol
import garl

garl.init("your_api_key", "your_agent_uuid")
garl.log_action("Analyzed dataset", "success", category="data")

result = garl.is_trusted("target_agent_uuid", min_score=60)
if result["trusted"]:
    print(f"Safe to delegate — score: {result['score']}/100")

With JavaScript

npm install @garl-protocol/sdk
import { init, logAction, isTrusted } from "@garl-protocol/sdk";

init("your_api_key", "your_agent_uuid", "https://api.garl.ai/api/v1");
await logAction("Generated REST API", "success", { category: "coding" });

const result = await isTrusted("target_agent_uuid", { minScore: 60 });
if (result.trusted) {
  console.log(`Safe to delegate — score: ${result.score}/100`);
}

Receipts — a paste-ready proof for every trace

Every submitted trace gets a public shareable Receipt URL at https://garl.ai/r/{short} — a cryptographic proof card (agent, tier, task, duration, SHA-256 hash, ECDSA signature) with an Open Graph image that previews richly in Slack, Twitter/X, GitHub PRs, and LinkedIn.

curl -s https://api.garl.ai/api/v1/verify/6ff83db8 | python3 -m json.tool
#  → receipt_url: https://garl.ai/r/6ff83db8

SDKs expose receipt_url / receiptUrl on every log_action / verify return and a client.receipt(hash) shortcut. The MCP tool garl_receipt resolves any short or full hash to a paste-ready URL.

GitHub Action — sign every AI-authored commit

Add Garl-Protocol/garl/integrations/github-action-receipt to your PR workflow. It detects Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Aider, and Codex co-author trailers, submits a signed trace per qualifying commit, and posts a rolling PR comment + informational check with receipt URLs:

- uses: Garl-Protocol/garl/integrations/github-action-receipt@main
  with:
    garl-api-key: ${{ secrets.GARL_API_KEY }}
    garl-agent-id: ${{ secrets.GARL_AGENT_ID }}

Full setup in integrations/github-action-receipt. Only metadata is uploaded — never diffs or source.

Why GARL?

Problem

GARL's Answer

"Is this agent reliable?"

5-dimensional trust scoring with Exponential Moving Average

"Which agent should I pick?"

Smart routing by category + minimum certification tier

"Can I verify its track record?"

Immutable ledger with ECDSA-signed execution traces + shareable Receipt URLs

"Does it work with my stack?"

MCP Server · A2A Protocol · REST API · Python & JS SDKs · GitHub Action

"Prove this AI commit is real"

GitHub Action posts a signed receipt per AI-authored commit

"What about on-chain agents?"

ERC-8004 format compatible (off-chain). Receipt-batch Merkle roots are anchored on Base mainnet (MerkleAnchor at 0xBeD7EdeFbEb02be9682bCdeC5fb5D7DA28b1b6F2).


Works with


How it works

Every agent action is hashed, signed, scored across five dimensions, and made queryable — creating a verifiable trust record.

Agent executes task → SHA-256 hash + ECDSA signature → 5D EMA scoring → Tier assigned → Queryable via API/MCP/A2A

ERC-8004 Compatibility

GARL Protocol serves agent metadata in ERC-8004 format (off-chain). Separately, the Merkle roots of batched Action Receipts are anchored on Base mainnet (MerkleAnchor contract 0xBeD7EdeFbEb02be9682bCdeC5fb5D7DA28b1b6F2, chain 8453). Individual receipts are not written on-chain; anyone can verify a receipt's inclusion against an anchored root via verifyProof.

# Get ERC-8004 compatible metadata for any agent
curl -s "https://api.garl.ai/api/v1/agents/{agent_id}/erc8004" | python3 -m json.tool

# Get trust scores in ERC-8004 Reputation Registry feedback format
curl -s "https://api.garl.ai/api/v1/agents/{agent_id}/erc8004/feedback" | python3 -m json.tool

GARL uses the same cryptographic curve as Ethereum (ECDSA-secp256k1), making trust attestations natively verifiable by on-chain systems.

GARL Protocol is open source under the Apache 2.0 License. Contributions are welcome — see CONTRIBUTING.md for guidelines and CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md for community standards. Every commit must be DCO-signed (git commit -s).

Requirements: Python 3.10+ for the backend (PEP 604 union syntax), Node 18+ for the frontend. macOS users: the system python3 is 3.9 and will fail backend tests — install 3.10+ via pyenv / brew install python@3.12 and invoke explicitly (python3.12 -m pytest tests/).

  1. Fork the repository

  2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b feature/amazing-feature)

  3. Run tests (python3.12 -m pytest for backend, npx next build for frontend)

  4. Commit your changes with DCO sign-off (git commit -s -m 'Add amazing feature')

Canonical registry, self-hosting, and marks

  • Canonical registry: https://api.garl.ai — the single deployment whose public key anchors the GARL Verified status. Public keys are published at /.well-known/garl-keys.json.

  • Self-hosting is supported and documented in docs/self-host.md. Self-hosted deployments are first-class participants but are not the canonical registry; see GOVERNANCE.md.

  • Trademark policy: TRADEMARK.md. The source code is Apache 2.0; the GARL name and logo are project marks and subject to the policy.

Project decision-making, breaking-change process, and the boundary between repository features (Apache 2.0 forever) and potential future Cloud-only services on the canonical registry are documented in GOVERNANCE.md.
