sync_state
Records a governed agent work check-in to persist its evolving state and return a proceed or pause verdict with a named reason; provide confidence to earn a prediction ID for later result grading.
Instructions
Record a work check-in and get a governance decision: it advances and persists this agent's EISV state and returns proceed or pause with a named reason, plus a prediction_id — only when you pass confidence — to grade that check-in later with record_result. The first call auto-binds an identity, except under strict identity, which refuses and points at start_session. simulate_update previews a proposed check-in without advancing state, though it still appends an audit event; check_working_state reads the current verdict without writing. process_agent_update is the canonical twin; this name returns a digest envelope, and a routine check-in omits the raw payload (response_mode='full' adds it under raw_governance). EISV field definitions: describe_tool(tool_name='check_working_state').
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| lite | No | Boolean alias for response_mode='compact'. Applies only when response_mode is left at 'auto' (an explicit response_mode always wins). | |
| logprobs | No | Per-token top-k output logprobs, e.g. [[lp, lp, ...], ...]. Grounds S at tier-1 instead of the heuristic; absent for Claude. | |
| task_type | No | Task type. Core types: convergent | divergent | mixed; 'introspection' for self-examination. | mixed |
| complexity | No | Task complexity, strictly 0-1. Check-in aliases also accept 'trivial'|'low'|'medium'|'high'|'very_high'. | |
| confidence | No | Confidence level for this update (0-1, optional). | |
| parameters | No | Agent parameters vector (optional, deprecated). | |
| task_label | No | S22 H5 provenance: human-readable bounded task label | |
| sensor_data | No | Caller-published sensor measurements: `eisv` for a physical E/I/S/V reading, `afferents` for raw dimensions. Telemetry only, never a verdict input. | |
| task_outcome | No | S22 H5 provenance: outcome label for the bounded task | |
| ethical_drift | No | Ethical drift signals (3 components): [primary_drift, declared coherence_loss, complexity_contribution]. | |
| response_mode | No | Response shape. 'auto' (default) or 'compact' for routine check-ins; 'mirror' for actionable signals; 'full' for everything. | auto |
| response_text | No | Agent's response text (optional, for analysis) | |
| comparison_key | No | S22 H5 provenance: stable key for comparing the same bounded task across harnesses | |
| memory_context | No | S22 provenance: memory/KG/transcript surfaces visible to the writer | |
| epistemic_class | No | Storage label for this row: agent_report (default), substrate_observation (measured), substrate_interpretation (derived), prediction (forward claim). | agent_report |
| continuity_token | No | Same-process rebind proof only; never a cross-process resume. | |
| client_session_id | No | Binding id for calls in this process; not a cross-process proof. | |
| provenance_context | No | Situating metadata: harness_type, model_provider, model, transport, tool_surface, governance_mode, verification_source, locus. Descriptive only. | |
| recent_tool_results | No | Self-reported tool outcomes from the agent's most recent actions. | |
| trajectory_signature | No | Trajectory identity signature from anima-mcp. | |
| require_strong_identity | No | If true, reject updates unless identity assurance tier is strong. | |
| include_memory_suggestions | No | Opt in to a KG lookup seeded from this check-in and include a few matching discovery digests. | |
| auto_export_on_significance | No | If true, write a governance history export whenever this check-in is judged significant: a risk spike, a coherence drop, a void threshold … |
