How Do You Trust an AI Agent With Your Money? You Don't — You Check Its Receipt

Short summary

As AI agents handle real transactions (refunds, API calls, data moves), you can't just trust them. The solution: verifiable agent behavior—agents produce cryptographically signed receipts proving they followed approved rules without modification. A working demo shows how any cheating (rule swaps, step edits, forged receipts) is caught.

  • AI agents need cryptographic verification of their behavior, not just audit logs
  • Tamper-proof receipts combine rule fingerprints, chained steps, and cryptographic signatures
  • Any tampering—rule swaps, edited steps, or forged signatures—fails verification

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.

Is this a good recommendation for you?
